“Fish, to taste right, must swim three times -in water, in butter, and in wine.” Polish proverb.

Food is a special part of any holiday, and Poland offers so much. It is known for its excellent kitchens, freshness, quality and portions. Being on the Baltic, we opted most nights for the fish.

Gdansk offers a wide variety of food and beverages, usually at very attractive prices. During our visit, we visited and enjoyed two notable restaurants.

Piwna47 Food & Wine Bar – Gdansk, Poland

Piwna 47 Restaurant has a menu based on modern international cuisine. Cozy, warm, welcoming, and refined to the smallest detail, the decor is the perfect environment to enjoy the specialties served by the chefs. All dishes are prepared from scratch using the best natural products. The restaurant received the Michelin Recommendation. An unpretentious, friendly vibe is key to the charms of this modern café-brasserie found down a cobbled street in the shadow of the impressive St. Mary’s Church. With a bright conservatory extension on the ground floor and a more casual feel upstairs, it offers a pleasant environment for breakfast, a light lunch or something more substantial. “The menu takes local produce and applies influences from other areas of Europe, often promoting the unfussy cooking style of the Mediterranean.”

The Piwna 47 restaurant offers a carefully selected wine list from all over the world, as well as wine and cider on tap. The kitchen and bar are also based on seasonality.

Set proposed example as part of the Tastes of Gdańsk:
1. Starter:
