Gdask: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor

Gdansk’s “Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor” offers a unique blend of culinary excellence and breathtaking panoramas. For around $78 per person, you’ll enjoy a three-course dinner at Treinta y Tres, a restaurant on the 33rd floor of Olivia Star, the tallest skyscraper in Northern Poland. The experience lasts about a day, with a flexible start time, and includes a glass of Spanish Cava to toast your evening.

What we love most is the chance to savor dishes crafted by Michelin-trained chefs Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri, whose reputations promise a meal of high standards and authentic flavors. Alongside this, the spectacular view overlooking the TriCity and Gdansk Bay is truly unforgettable—sitting 140 meters above ground while soaking in the sunset or city lights is a highlight you won’t find many places.

On the flip side, some travelers have noted that the food might not always meet expectations, with one reviewer expressing disappointment in the meal itself. It’s worth considering that this experience leans more toward the ambiance and view than a deep culinary adventure.

This tour suits travelers who appreciate a good view, enjoy tasting Mediterranean flavors, and want a relaxed yet upscale setting for an evening.

An In-Depth Look at the Experience

The Location: Olivia Star and the View

The Olivia Star skyscraper is the tallest in Northern Poland, and its observation deck on the 33rd floor offers some of the best perspectives of Gdansk, the TriCity area, and the Gdansk Bay. Reaching the restaurant involves a quick elevator ride to the 32nd floor, with a short walk or stair climb to the 33rd. The ascent itself adds a fun, anticipatory feel to the experience. Once there, you’re welcomed into the elegant Treinta y Tres restaurant, which boasts a stylish, yet approachable environment.

The Culinary Journey

Chef Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri bring a touch of Michelin-starred expertise to this venture, ensuring that the menu is crafted with precision and flair. The menu is inspired by Spain’s diverse regions and hot climate, resulting in dishes that blend vibrant flavors and Mediterranean freshness. Expect an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert—each designed to showcase the essence of Spanish cooking.

While some visitors, like Taina, express disappointment—“Nice restaurant but didn’t like the food at all” —others might find the experience more satisfying if they’re looking for a taste of Spain rather than a gourmet feast. The inclusion of a glass of Spanish Cava enhances the meal, making it a celebratory affair, and the accompanying panoramic views help elevate the overall mood.

The View and Atmosphere

The real star of this experience is undoubtedly the view. From the 33rd floor, you can gaze over the entire TriCity, with Gdansk’s historic rooftops and modern skyscrapers in full display. As the sun sets or night falls, the city lights sparkle, providing a truly magical backdrop to your meal. The setting is elegant but relaxed, making it suitable for couples, groups, or even solo travelers seeking a special moment.

Practical Considerations

The visit begins at the reception on the ground floor of Olivia Star, with a quick check-in and then a ride up to the 32nd floor, followed by stairs or elevator to the restaurant. The experience is wheelchair accessible, which is a bonus. Note that pets are not allowed, so plan accordingly if you’re traveling with animals.

The tour’s inclusions—three courses and a glass of Cava—offer good value, especially given the prime location and the caliber of chefs involved. However, beverages beyond the Cava, such as signature cocktails or an extensive wine list, are not included and available for purchase separately.

Review Highlights and Real Experiences

While many reviews are positive about the views and the special setting, some express reservations about the food quality. As Taina pointed out, “No one asked if we wanted to order anything to drink with the food either,” which suggests the service may be somewhat formal or limited in scope. If you’re a foodie expecting a top-tier culinary experience, keep in mind that this is more about the atmosphere and view than a gourmet dinner.

Cost and Value

At $78 per person, you’re paying a premium for the experience rather than just the food. Given the panoramic view, the prestige of Michelin-trained chefs, and the glass of Cava, many will find this to be a memorable splurge. For those seeking a special night out in Gdansk with stunning visuals, it offers solid value.

Who’s It For?

This experience is best suited for travelers who love spectacular views and want a memorable setting for a relaxed meal. It appeals to those interested in a taste of Spanish cuisine and an elegant atmosphere, especially if you’re celebrating a special occasion. If you’re after a culinary tour de force, you might find the food can sometimes be average; but if you’re happy with decent dishes and outstanding scenery, this is a winner.

If you’re looking for a combination of stunning city views and flavorful Spanish-inspired dishes, this tour hits the mark. The top-floor setting at Olivia Star offers an unforgettable vantage point that enhances the entire experience. The fact that Michelin-trained chefs are involved adds a layer of credibility and excitement.

However, it’s worth noting that the food quality might not always match the high expectations set by the chef’s credentials, so if your main goal is an exceptional meal, you might want to temper your hopes. Instead, consider this experience as an opportunity to enjoy beautiful scenery, relax in a refined setting, and indulge in a glass of Cava while taking in the sunset.

This tour is perfect for visitors wanting a romantic evening, a special celebration, or simply a chance to see Gdansk from a different perspective—at a reasonable price for such a unique vantage point.
