Gdańsk
tel. +48 797 591 212

We are open everyday from 11.30 till 23.00.
Welcome!
Goldwasser D-4, ul. Długie Pobrzeże 22, tel. (+48)
58 301 88 78, www.goldwasser.pl. One of our favourite
places to take guests in Gdansk, this atmospheric riverside
restaurant features dishes like duck, fresh fish and delicious
homemade pierogi along with locally produced beer served by
multi-lingual service. The summer garden, in the shadow of
the city’s signature Crane (Żuraw or Krantor) is an excellent
place to enjoy one of the best choices of properly prepared
steak in the city, while the upstairs terrace has been renovated
and serves as the perfect spot for a romantic meal
overlooking the Motlawa river. Souvenir hunters should keep
an eye out for the Goldwasser liquer box sets, a drop of which
is the perfect nightcap. Q Open 10:00 - 23:00. (46-130zł).
TAGBS
Kokieteria D-4, ul. Tokarska 6 (Hanza Hotel), tel.
(+48) 661 51 18 11, www.restauracjakokieteria.pl.
With a range of seating that somebody’s actually put some
intelligent thought into and a magnificent riverside setting
to boot, the Polish and international dishes on offer here are
visually delightful and include a host of crowd pleasers; sirloin
steak, lemon sole and a choice of pleasingly sinful desserts.
Q Open 12:00 - 23:00. From June open 10:00 - 22:00. (28-
65zł). PTAUGBW
La Pampa Steakhouse C-4, ul. Szeroka 32/35,
tel. (+48) 797 59 12 12, www.lapampa.pl. Steak is
the order of the day in this new restaurant found on the
street reached through the gate under the Crane (Żuraw).
The friendly staff welcome you to the restaurant by explaining
the concept of the menu - in a nutshell we’re talking a
choice of prime round, rump, rib-eye or fillet beef prepared
to order on a open grill. There are other dishes to choose
from including the ‘La Pampa specialties’ which feature
skewers of meats, onions and peppers as well as pork,
chicken and fish dishes and huge salads but the draw
here is the steak. The Argentinean fillet was cooked to
perfection and was complimented by the additional sides
of fried vegetables and potatoes which came mixed with
bacon and onions. There is a decent selection of wines to
choose from and word has seemingly already got out to
the local business community many of whom seemed to
be entertaining clients on nearby tables. A word of warning
though.The aforementioned open grill creates enough of
an aroma that you may carry memories of your very good
meal away with you on your clothing. QOpen 11:30 - 23:00.

Latający Holender C-5, ul. Długi Targ 33/34,
tel. (+48) 58 320 36 25, www.latajacyholender.
pl. Adding the captain to the cook Latający Holender is
a naval masterpiece, and packed with knotted ropes,
bronze bells and swashbuckling features. Clad with wood
panels and stained glass this place has all the glory
of a galleon, and a menu that matches the upmarket
maritime ambiance. QOpen 11:00 - 24:00. (23-80zł).
TAUEGBSW
Mercato A-4, ul. Targ Rybny 1, tel. (+48) 58 778 71
00, www.hiltongdansk.pl. Pushing Gdańsk dining into truly
international territory is Mercato, the flagship restaurant of
the sparkling Hilton. Boasting a slick, cosmopolitan style
the king pull here is the Kobe steak, a hand-massaged cow
indulged with beer. At 180zł it’s a bit of an extravagance,
though it must be noted everything else really isn’t out of
reach: 55 zlots for ‘ordinary’ steak, and around 40 zlots for
most other mains. And this being the Hilton, why not sign off
your meal with moonlit drinks on the rooftop bar (see High
5, Gdańsk Nightlife). QOpen 12:00 - 23:00. (44-199zł).

Metamorfoza C-4, ul. Szeroka 22/23, tel. (+48) 58 320
30 30, www.restauracjametamorfoza.pl. The presence of
two chandeliers, tablecloths and some plush seating might be
a little intimidating but keep going – it’s worth it. The menu is a
work of a creative mind and the results score top marks from
both the eyes and the stomach. The concept here has been
to take traditional dishes and to give them a modern touch so
that the barszcz comes with wild mushroom ravioli, cream of
beetroots and pectin froth with marjoram while the traditional
slow roasted duck comes with beetroot mousse and horseradish
foam. Of particular interest to visitors is the Gdansk Tasting
Menu including the aforementioned duck and a dessert which
presents the local Goldwasser liqueur in molecular jelly form.
An interesting way to enjoy the local cuisine.QOpen 12:00 -
22:00. Closed Mon. (36-56zł). PAGBSW
Restauracyjka Smaki Świata B-4, ul. Lektykarska
1/2/1, tel. (+48) 58 683 06 35. You can’t fault their ambition
- naming a restaurant ‘Tastes of the World’ is quite a statement.
While you will see pizza, chilli, and fried chicken on the menu it’s
a fairly disappointing collection of standard international fare,
better suited to a snack during the day rather than a full main
meal. QOpen 10:00 - 24:00. (17-38zł). AGBS
Sphinx C-5, ul. Długi Targ 31/32, tel. (+48) 58 346
37 11, www.sphinx.pl. The menu here is endless, though
pretty much all the promised eastern dishes transpire to
be endlessly tiring combinations of shredded meat, cabbage
and carrots - every bit as appealing as it sounds. The
Egyptian authenticity is confirmed by the presence of pizza,
plastic trees and a menu designed by some random called
Tom Maltom. Also at ul. Rajska 10 (B-2, Madison Shopping
Centre). QOpen 10:00 - 23:00, Fri, Sat 10:00 - 24:00. (14-
60zł). PTAUGBS

Pancakes
Lokomotywa B-3, ul. Garncarska 30, tel. (+48)
58 305 51 10. An infinite choice of pancake combos
offered up inside an interior that will have train
spotters fumbling under their anoraks. Designed to
replicate the inside of a steam train Lokomotywa has
battered suitcases on overhead racks, compartment
style seating and walls painted to depict the views
you’d get from a train. QOpen 11:00 - 20:00. (10-

Naleśnikowo B-5, ul. Ogarna 125, tel. (+48) 52
682 30 82, www.nalesnikowo.com.pl. If our mother
had let us open up a café at the age of eight, it would
have looked exactly like Naleśnikowo: pink walls, fluffy
pillows lining the plush yellow bench seats, pink polkadotted
tablecloths and vases of daisies on every table. It
would probably have the same crepe-centric menu, too,
though Naleśnikowo takes it a step further by offering
options we couldn’t conceive of. Sure there’s 16 pillowy
sweet crepes (banana and Nutella! Swoon!) and 20
savory choices like chorizo, bacon and pickles but why
not spring for a cheese-stuffed baked crepe, or even the
more exotic noodle-laden spaghetti crepe? The service
is quick and attentive - they understand that waiting for
a custard-filled crepe makes time drag - and the menu
is in English (though we had to overlook the spelling of
“becon”). Drag yourself away from busy Długa and you’ll
be in for a treat. We’re pretty sure your inner eight-yearold
will thank you. QOpen 10:00 - 21:00. (10-18zł).
