希尔德公寓及阿图塞姆酒店

An unpretentious, friendly vibe is key to the charms of this Old Town brasserie, which is found down a cobbled street in the shadow of the impressive St. Mary's Basilica. The bright conservatory extension makes a great spot for lunch, while the more rustic upstairs room allows you to create a contrasting experience at dinner. Hearty, generous cooking is inspired by the culinary heritage of the Pomeranian region, with locally sourced seasonal produce given centre stage. Time-honoured dishes come with an appealing modern touch, as well as the occasional Mediterranean influence.

There’s a mysterious, secretive feel to this restaurant tucked away inside a historic house, which sits surrounded by amber jewellers in the heart of the Old Town. Its ground floor has long high-topped tables that lend themselves to communal dining, while the first floor offers a bit more privacy. A concise menu uses excellent daily produce, with a distinct South American influence running through the dishes – from classic ceviche to delicious corn husk ice cream and meringue for dessert.

The city’s Old Town plays host to this understated restaurant surrounded by attractive period buildings. The elegant interior benefits from modern art for sale on the walls and floral arrangements adding a pop of colour. An overtly seasonal menu means you might be treated to superb, full-flavoured deer when the time is right; but there’s a luxury edge to the offering all year round, with ingredients like Oscietra caviar utilised with skill by the chefs. The friendly service stands out for the enthusiasm and knowledge of the team.

Quality primary ingredients and skilled treatment of them form the basis of the cooking at this stylishly understated restaurant. Although multiple cuts of beef form a chunk of the menu, this is far more than a steakhouse. Seafood plays a big role too, with surf and turf platters catching the eye, while the quality of the kitchen shines through even in the smaller details – like a terrific side dish of girolles. The wine list contains some hidden gems and the service team will be happy to recommend a glass or two.

Located on one of the city’s busiest waterside boulevards, Tygle is made all the more appealing by its enthusiastic service team and enclosed terrace that’s ideal for al fresco dining. Inside, you'll find a minimalist-meets-industrial style, with exposed pipes and Edison bulbs. The satisfying and well-executed dishes come in hearty portions and might include options like beef tenderloin with asparagus. For dessert, the cheesecake will prove a fitting end to the meal for sweet-toothed diners.

Chef Basia Ritz was the first winner of MasterChef Poland and used this as a springboard to fulfil her ambition of running her own restaurant. Her dream has been realised at this quayside spot nestled amongst numerous other eateries. Locally sourced produce provides many of the menu’s highlights, with the likes of in-season chanterelles laying a strong foundation for the unfussy modern cooking. The personable team provide keen and friendly service.

A joyous splash of colour enlivens the spirits when you enter this eclectic restaurant in the city’s harbourside district. Despite being a short stroll from the centre of the Old Town, there’s a proper neighbourhood vibe here and it’s the kind of place you can pop in for breakfast in the morning or a glass of wine after work. The cooking ranges from the fun and creative (tuna tartare with mango, passion fruit and jalapeño) to the classic (baked plums and crumble).
