Gdańsk
Restaurants in Gdańsk
Gdansk eats well along the water and in the streets just behind it. The Baltic setting shows up in fish-forward spots near the Targ Rybny (Fish Market) and at classic Polish tables like Kubicki and Gdanski Bowke on the Motlawa embankment. For pierogi head to Pierogarnia Mandu, for a milk-bar lunch to Bar Mleczny Neptun, and for cocktails or a longer evening to Eliksir and the bars around Piwna and the Garnizon district.
