Restauracja Pod Łososiem
Founded in 1598 and particularly famous for its salmon dishes, this is one of Gdańsk’s oldest and most highly regarded restaurants. Red leather seats, brass chandeliers and a gathering of gas lamps fill out the sombre interior. The speciality drink here is Goldwasser, a thick, sweet liqueur with flakes of gold floating in it, and invented and produced in its cellars from the end of the 16th century till the outbreak of WWII.

Gospoda Pod Wielkem Młynem
A sure-fire tip for summer, this charming half-timbered building behind the Great Mill has the city’s best restaurant garden, straddling the tip of an island on the Radunia Canal. Romantics will lap up the secluded atmosphere, surrounded by shady trees and rustic wagon wheels. There’s also a cheaper snack menu with Polish standards such as bigos (sauerkraut dish, see boxed text, p61; 5zł).

Karczma Polska Pod Kogutem
The rustic barn look is enduringly popular with restaurants serving traditional Polish food, and Karczma Polska doesn’t disappoint – there’s even a mock pigsty on the way downstairs to the toilets. Its external wooden deck is a great vantage point over the picturesque square opposite, and the menu offers plenty of options. Roast rabbit in hazelnut sauce, anyone?

Bar Mleczny Słoneczny
Surprisingly light and airy, within a pale yellow interior studded with curious pillars, this classic Cold War-era milk bar serves cheap but tasty Polish staples. The menu is vegetarian-friendly, and there’s a good selection of soups and naleśniki (crepes). Enter from ul Władysława IV.

Piwinica Rajców
The gods are smiling on this excellent cellar-restaurant, near the Neptune fountain and below a striking entrance topped by a statue of the god Mercury. The menu features some of the finest Polish cuisine to be had in Gdańsk, particularly its wild boar, and extends to more exotic dishes like springbok fillet.

Restauracja Piwniczka
Situated in an atmospheric cellar beneath the west wall of the castle, facing the river, this restaurant dishes up excellent, flavoursome Polish standards along with specials like Castle’s Pot Soup (pork and mushroom) and The Knight’s Plate (two kinds of pork and a chicken shashlik).

Pub Kinski
The house and birthplace of legendary German actor and psychopath Klaus Kinski has been converted into an offbeat bar-restaurant, with film posters and decadent crimson tablecloths within a cosy, candle-lit setting. The man himself probably would have trashed the place, but in a loving way.

Restauracja Gdańska
Eating here is a memorable experience: the five banquet rooms and salons are crammed to the rafters with antique furniture, paintings, model ships, random objets d’art and nimble waiters in epaulettes. The upper-end traditional cooking makes a visit doubly worthwhile.

Restauracja Chata
Charming place serving traditional Polish food in rustic timber surroundings, decked out with folkloric items from peasant dresses to carved mirror frames. Some interesting specials tempt the curious, like joint of boar in a wild mushroom sauce.

Błękitny Pudel
A cosy place in the middle of the main drag, the Blue Poodle features a front room looking like an eccentric nanna’s house, decked out with a strange assortment of random objects. As an added plus it serves German Paulaner wheat beer.

Gallery Restaurant
Fine food is the watchword in the two gracious dining rooms occupying Gallery’s cellar, with a bar, and dancing on Friday and Saturday nights. The street-level café provides a more relaxed alternative.

Restauracja Akcent
An alternative to the hotel eateries listed above, this is a decent place with a sightline to the castle and a menu that goes beyond the basics.
