Eating out in Gdansk
Gdansk has a good range of restaurants to choose from. Professional foodies are not yet toasting Poland as a mecca of haute cuisine, but given the Poles' creative bent, a renaissance in Polish cooking may not be as far off as it sounds. In terms of sheer variety and quality, your options have already increased a hundred fold over the last few years, and whether it's classic Polish fare that you're after, some international spice, or simply a trusty old milk-bar where you can pick up a tasty cutlet for next to nothing, you won't be stuck in the Tri-City: Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot.
