WE DELIVER SUSHI IN GDYNIA
Willa Lubicz O-6, ul. Orłowska 43, tel. (+48) 58 662
49 89, www.willalubicz.pl. Upscale European food in an
elegant dining room decorated in the 1930s style of the Willa
Lubicz hotel. Moving with the seasons, in the summer you can
sit under the stars while dining on wild boar, while in winter
enjoy the warmth of a log-burning fireplace. Q Open 07:00 -
13:00, 17:00 - 22:00. (35-80zł). PTYAUGBSW
Italian
A Modo Mio N-1, ul. Władysława IV 11a, tel. (+48) 58
714 44 89, www.a-modomio.pl. This small Italian bistro
offers a delightful dining experience thanks to the friendly,
family atmosphere cultivated by the endearing owners who
personally attend to the tables with their adorable young
daughter alongside. The menu offers simple, authentic Italian
food, plus some of the best pizza in the Three Cities, and
Pizza Hut Gdynia Restaurant

while the prices aren’t insignificant, the portions are large and
well-worth the amount paid. The bright, red, white and green
interior is more conducive to a casual lunch than elegant dinner,
but A Modo Mio is all about atmosphere, and that rare
air of loving family hospitality has been captured perfectly.
Tables are limited, so reservations are recommended. Seek
it out. QOpen 11:00 - 23:00. (20-55zł). PTA6GBS
Da Vinci N-1, ul. Świętojańska 15, tel. (+48) 58 620
07 14, www.da-vinci.pl. One look at the imposing cream
dining room and bow-tied waiters and you would be forgiven
for thinking you’ll have to sell your children to finance a meal
here. Wrong. This is a reasonably priced Italian restaurant
that is one of the longer standing restaurants on the Gdynia
market, something that can be put down to the quality of the
food which is always reliable if nothing else when we visit.
QOpen 12:00 - 23:00. (20-76zł). PTA6GBSW
La Fortuna O-1, ul. Armii Krajowej 9/1, tel. (+48) 58 661
26 66, www.lafortuna.pl. Good quality Italian food served
by smart looking waiters to the Gdynia business crowd. The
lasagna is definitely not how mama made it, and neither will the
interior remind you of your Italian escapades. Nonetheless, acceptable.
QOpen 12:00 - 22:30. (13-57zł). PTAGBS
La Vita N-2, ul. Abrahama 80/86 (entrance from ul.
Władysława IV), tel. (+48) 58 620 51 50, www.restauracjalavita.pl.
A trendy designer space with floor-to-ceiling
windows and minimal design. Very Milan. Clientele seems
evenly split between fashion kittens and office bods, and
the food here really is quite good - modern Italian brought
to you by catwalk gals. QOpen 12:00 - 23:00. (15-42zł).

Japanese
Hashi Sushi N-6, ul. Przebendowskich 38, tel. (+48)
58 710 07 01, www.hashisushi.pl. A classic looking
Japanese restaurant with the requisite rice paper panels,
basic wooden furniture and a large revolving bar from where
sushi-laiden boats float past diners. Raw fish aside the menu
also features a number of hot courses, including beef steak
in a spicy, balsamic sauce. QOpen 11:00 - 23:00. (31-52zł).
PTAUVGBSW
Tokyo Sushi N-1, ul. Mściwoja 9, tel. (+48) 58 669
60 80, www.tokyosushibar.pl. A fine-looking sushi house
with a crisp design that includes weird prints, stark colours
and toilet entrances covered in oyster shells. The sushi
and sashimi choice is exhaustive, and the lunch sets are
reasonably priced between 24 and 56 zlots. And the menu
now also includes a range of hot dishes.QOpen 11:00 -
22:00, Fri, Sat 12:00 - 23:00, Sun 12:00 - 22:00. (24-65zł).

Mexican
Pueblo N-2, ul. Abrahama 56 (entrance from ul.
Władysława IV), tel. (+48) 58 621 60 07, www.
restauracjapueblo.com.pl. While most Polish attempts
at anything ethnic, particularly Mexican, are
rubbish Pueblo bucks the trend by serving top quality
burritos, fajitas and nachos. The menu has some new
dishes alongside the favourites and this is also one of
the best places for a good cocktail that doesn’t break
the bank. The interior follows the standard formula of
adobe walls, sombreros and assorted Mexicana, but is
always guaranteed to be buzzing. Good service, even
better food and very popular. QOpen 12:00 - 23:00.
(26-55zł). PTAGBS
Pancakes
Fanaberia Crepes & Cafe N-1, ul. Świętojańska
33/35, tel. (+48) 785 78 17 81, www.nalesnikarniafanaberia.pl.
A summery looking creperie with a breezy,
blue design and windows that fall open to allow maximum
sun. The fruit cocktails are great, even better when the
asphalt is melting, though the real point of this place are
the pancakes, fast being hailed as the best in the city.
QOpen 10:00 - 21:00, Sun 11:00 - 20:00. (10-18zł).

Polish
Bar Mleczny Słoneczny N-2, ul. Abrahama 58-60
(entrance from ul. Władysława IV), tel. (+48) 58 620
53 16. Keep an eye out for the ‘Sunshine Milk Bar’ which has
been dishing up extremely good value food for over 50 years.
They’ve replaced the 1960’s style sign with a new logo in the
window but this is still the place to get your fill both of pretty
decent food and any nostalgia you may have for the days of
the Iron Curtain. QOpen 06:30 - 19:00, Sat 09:00 - 16:00.
Closed Sun. (4-15zł). TUGS
Swojski Smak N-1, ul. Władysława IV 1-5, tel. (+48)
58 621 85 75, www.swojskismak.pl. So the menu isn’t as
comprehensive as their Gdańsk branch, that’s still no reason
to give this place a swerve. This peasant themed eatery has
all the highlights of local cooking, and should you not fancy
tackling the contents of an abattoir by yourself then cast your
eyes on the section titled, ‘for the not so hungry customer’.
And order a fruit compote to go with your meal - they taste a
bit yucky at first, so persevere. QOpen 12:00 - 20:00, Sat,
Sun 13:00 - 19:00. (13-26zł). PTYUGS
W Ogrodach N-2, ul. Władysława IV 49a, tel. (+48)
58 781 53 77, www.wogrodach.pl. An intimate bistro
and bar whose imaginative design incorporates murals
of country estates with bas relief birds. In addition to the
usual meats, soups and salads, the menu has some decent
vegetarian meals plus fish and kids’ specials. Note that while
its kid-friendly, it’s a bit small for very young, noisy children.
QOpen 11:00 - 21:30, Sat, Sun 11:00 - 22:00. (28-49zł).

Vegetarian
Green Way N-1, ul. Abrahama 24, tel. (+48) 58
620 12 53, www.greenway.pl. An exact replica of
their Sopot and Gdańsk branches. Healthy eating at
budget prices inside a non-descript interior. The locals
love it. Also at (N-2), ul. Piłsudskiego 56. QOpen 11:00
- 19:00, Sat 11:00 - 18:00, Sun 12:00 - 17:00. (11-15zł).
