If you enjoy hearty and delicious food, here’s one more reason to fall in love with this city. In addition to Poland’s rich culinary heritage, Gdańsk also reflects its tourist-friendly nature — with a huge variety of restaurants offering national, European, Asian, Mexican, Armenian, and many other cuisines.
Besides tasty food, the city also delights with good wine and a wide range of local beers.
Be sure to try traditional Pomeranian dishes such as pickled herring soup, fried flounder, or Kashubian fish soup. Coastal restaurants serve freshly caught seafood — mussels, calamari, and smoked mackerel are especially popular. Street food is also widely available, including Poland’s famous open-faced sandwiches (zapiekanki) and stuffed dumplings (pierogi). For dessert, go for a slice of apple strudel or a local honey cake with nuts.
