AJ KWATERY

Tucked away amongst some more utilitarian buildings, sits this pretty red-brick cottage with a cobbled terrace out front. With a long history that includes stints as a shop, a shoemaker’s and a museum, it now feels like a perfect fit for this cosy, welcoming restaurant. Seasonal Polish produce is the bedrock of the cooking, which is allowed to shine with a lightness of touch and a French flourish, showcased in technically adept elements like a piquant butter sauce accompanying the sea trout.

With a name meaning ‘sand dunes’, it’s no surprise to find this restaurant overlooking the dunes with the white sandy beach and Baltic Sea beyond. In summer, a table on the terrace is a must; if the weather keeps you inside, the views are better from the upstairs room. When you’re this close to the water, it makes sense to have seafood, so keep an eye out for some terrific skrei cod when in season. The meat options include beef Wellington to share when ordered in advance.

Housed inside a hotel but with a separate entrance and a feel all its own, this elegant restaurant is worth the short walk out from the city centre. Start with a cocktail while you study the concise à la carte, where the Polish cooking comes with a Mediterranean influence that's noticeable in the occasional pasta or risotto. Top produce is clearly a priority, with the quality of the ingredients evident across the dishes. Attractive presentation and a touch of formality in the service enhance the experience.
