Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor

Dinner comes with a serious view. Treinta y Tres combines Spanish cooking, a glass of Cava, and a 140-meter outlook over Gdańsk, the TriCity area, and Gdańsk Bay. I like the restaurant’s strong culinary credentials, with chefs Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri bringing a combined career record of seven Michelin stars, and I also like that the experience is more than a meal: you get a high-rise city view in one of Northern Poland’s most striking buildings.

I especially appreciate the included three-course menu and the chance to taste food inspired by several Spanish regions without leaving Gdańsk. The main drawback is practical rather than glamorous: finding the entrance can be confusing, and one recent diner felt uncomfortable at the first reception desk. Food quality can also vary, with praise for presentation and service alongside comments about dry fish and an underwhelming meal.

Key points to know before booking

• Dinner at 140 meters: Treinta y Tres occupies the 33rd floor of Olivia Star, the tallest skyscraper in Northern Poland.
• Three courses included: Your package covers an appetizer, main course, dessert, and one glass of Spanish Cava.
• Spanish regional cooking: The menu draws on traditional Mediterranean flavors and food from different parts of Spain.
• A Bib Gourmand address: The restaurant has received the prestigious Bib Gourmand award, while chefs Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri have earned seven Michelin stars during their careers.
• Arrival takes a little care: Go to the Treinta y Tres reception on the ground floor of Olivia Star, then use the elevator to the 32nd floor and continue to level 33 by stairs or elevator.
• Flexible booking: You can cancel up to 24 hours ahead for a full refund, and you can reserve now and pay later.

Treinta y Tres at the top of Olivia Star

Treinta y Tres is not an old-town cellar or a seaside tavern. It is a polished Spanish restaurant high above the northern edge of Gdańsk, inside Olivia Star. The setting gives the meal a modern, special-occasion feel before the first course arrives.

The restaurant sits on the 33rd floor, about 140 meters above ground level. From here, the view reaches across the TriCity area and toward Gdańsk Bay. On a clear day, this broad sweep is likely to be the main visual reward. You are not simply looking down at a few nearby streets. You are seeing the scale and shape of the wider urban area from a rare angle.

Olivia Star is the highest skyscraper in Northern Poland, so the building itself adds context to the experience. If you are interested in modern architecture, city viewpoints, or photographs taken from unusual heights, the location carries real value.

The atmosphere is described as elegant but relaxed. That balance matters. You can treat the dinner as a romantic night out or a celebratory meal, but the setting does not require the formality of a grand ceremonial restaurant. The information provided does not specify a dress code, so you should not assume that formal evening wear is required.

Getting from the ground floor to the dining room

The meeting point is the Treinta y Tres reception on the ground floor of Olivia Star. This is an important detail because the restaurant is not reached by walking straight into a clearly marked dining room at street level.

After arriving, go to the restaurant reception. You will be taken by elevator to the 32nd floor, then continue to the 33rd floor by stairs or elevator. That extra movement is manageable for many people, but it is worth knowing before you arrive, especially if you have limited mobility or are carrying luggage.

The activity is wheelchair accessible, yet the instructions mention stairs or an elevator between the 32nd and 33rd floors. If you need step-free access, tell the staff at the reception so they can direct you to the elevator.

Directions deserve attention. A recent diner found reaching the activity difficult and wanted clearer instructions about what to expect. I recommend allowing extra time to locate Olivia Star and the correct reception point rather than arriving at the last minute. A separate entrance for activity bookings helps you skip the regular line, but it does not remove the need to find the building and reception first.

English and Polish are available from the host or greeter. That is useful at the building entrance, where a quick question can save you from wandering through a large modern complex.

What the three-course menu includes

The meal includes an appetizer, a main course, and dessert. The menu is inspired by Spain’s warm climate and traditional Mediterranean cooking, so you should expect the kitchen to focus on Spanish flavors rather than Polish food or a generic international menu.

The supplied information does not list the exact dishes. That means I would not book this activity expecting a particular fish, meat, dessert, or regional specialty. The menu may change, and the value lies in the prepared sequence rather than in choosing from a full à la carte selection.

The idea of moving through several Spanish regions gives the meal a sense of direction. Instead of one isolated plate, you get a compact introduction to the country’s food traditions. For a first taste of Spanish cuisine, this is more useful than ordering one familiar dish and calling it a night.

The kitchen is led by Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri, chefs who have collected seven Michelin stars over their careers. That background does not guarantee that every plate will suit every palate, but it does explain why the restaurant aims above ordinary hotel dining.

The restaurant has also received a Bib Gourmand award. In practical terms, that recognition points to cooking that offers good quality for its level rather than simply charging for a view. Still, the price and menu should be judged together. You are paying for a meal, a high-floor setting, service, and the included drink.

The food: polished presentation, with some variation

The most enthusiastic feedback focuses on two things: food that looked and tasted excellent, and attentive table service. That is encouraging for anyone choosing this dinner as a special evening. The presentation appears to be part of the experience, not an afterthought.

The less favorable feedback is important too. One diner did not enjoy the food at all, while another found the fish a little dry. A separate comment described the food as acceptable and the wine as good. This gives you a more honest picture than a simple promise of perfection.

I would be cautious about booking this solely because of the chefs’ reputations. High-end cooking can be personal. A dish built around unfamiliar Spanish ingredients, a particular texture, or a restrained style may not please everyone. If you have strong dislikes, ask what is being served before the meal or explain your preferences when you arrive.

Allergies should be reported during the visit. That instruction is clear and important. Do not wait until a course is placed in front of you, especially when the menu is set and may include sauces, seafood, dairy, or other ingredients that are not obvious from the plate.

The included menu does not cover signature cocktails or the full drinks list. Treinta y Tres offers more than 700 wine titles and a distinctive collection of other alcoholic drinks, but those are extra purchases. This is where the final bill can rise beyond the $81 booking price.

Spanish Cava and the wider drinks list

One glass of Spanish Cava is included. It gives the dinner a proper opening and lets you sample a sparkling wine from Spain without adding another charge.

The package does not include signature cocktails, additional wine, or other alcohol. With more than 700 wine titles available, you have plenty of room to spend more if you want a bottle or a special pairing. I would ask about prices before ordering, particularly if you are trying to keep the evening close to the advertised cost.

One service complaint is worth noting: a diner felt nobody asked if they wanted to order something to drink with the meal. That may have been a missed moment rather than a general rule, but it is useful advice. If you want another glass, a cocktail, or wine with a particular course, ask directly instead of waiting for the staff to offer it.

The included Cava makes the base package feel complete. You can enjoy the set dinner and one celebratory drink without needing to build a drinks package. The wider wine list is best treated as an optional extra, not as part of the basic offer.

The view across Gdańsk, the TriCity, and the bay

The view is the experience’s strongest non-food feature. At 140 meters, you get a broad outlook over the urban area rather than a narrow view framed by nearby buildings.

The wording promises views of the entire TriCity and Gdańsk Bay. That makes this a useful way to place Gdańsk geographically. You can connect the city’s built-up areas with the coast and understand the wider region from above.

Weather will affect how much you see. The experience information does not promise a particular visibility level, so a hazy or cloudy day may reduce the reach of the view. The restaurant remains a dining destination in poor weather, but the high-rise outlook will be less impressive if the bay and distant parts of the TriCity disappear into cloud.

I would try to visit when daylight or evening light suits your plans, but no exact start times are fixed in the information provided. You need to check availability for the date you want. If the view is your main reason for booking, choose a time that gives you the kind of scene you want, provided that time is available.

The setting also helps the meal feel distinct from an ordinary restaurant reservation. You may forget one course years later, but a dinner high above Gdańsk with the bay in view is easier to remember.

How the $81 price works for you

At $81 per person, the package is not a budget dinner. Its value depends on how much you care about the combination of food, setting, and convenience.

The price includes the three-course Spanish dinner, one glass of Cava, access to the restaurant on the 33rd floor, and the panoramic view. If you would otherwise pay separately for a quality dinner and a city viewpoint, combining both in one reservation makes the cost easier to justify.

The Bib Gourmand recognition and the chefs’ professional records also support the price, although they should not be treated as a guarantee. Feedback is mixed enough that I would book for the full evening rather than for culinary certainty alone.

The offer suits you best if you want a memorable dinner in a modern setting and do not mind paying for atmosphere. It is less suitable if your only goal is the cheapest Spanish meal in Gdańsk, if you need a very precise menu in advance, or if you dislike paying extra for drinks.

The reserve-now-and-pay-later option adds useful flexibility. You can hold a place without paying immediately, and free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the experience. That is practical when your Gdańsk schedule is still shifting.

Who should book this dinner?

I would recommend Treinta y Tres to couples, birthday groups, and anyone looking for a polished evening with a strong visual setting. It also works for visitors who have already seen the main sights and want something that shows Gdańsk from a different height.

Food-focused diners may enjoy the Spanish regional theme and the chefs’ credentials, but I would keep expectations measured. The feedback includes excellent reports about taste, appearance, and service, yet also a clear complaint about the food and a specific concern about dry fish.

This is a good choice for you if:

• You want a special dinner rather than a casual snack.
• You value a sweeping city and bay view.
• You enjoy Mediterranean or Spanish flavors.
• You are comfortable with a set three-course menu.
• You may want to add wine or cocktails at extra cost.
• You can allow time to find the ground-floor reception.

It may not suit you if:

• You need a fully published menu before booking.
• You want all drinks included.
• You are looking for a low-cost meal.
• You dislike high-rise buildings or complicated access.
• You expect every dish to match a Michelin-level standard.

Practical details that make the evening easier

Tell the restaurant about allergies as soon as you arrive. Pets are not allowed.

The experience is valid for one day, but you must check available starting times. No exact meal duration is provided, so do not schedule another fixed activity immediately afterward.

The host or greeter speaks English and Polish. A separate entrance is available for this booking, which can help you avoid the regular line once you reach the correct place.

The activity is wheelchair accessible. Since the route may involve stairs or an elevator from the 32nd to the 33rd floor, ask the reception staff for the step-free option if needed.

Should you book Treinta y Tres?

Book it if you want the full package: Spanish food, a glass of Cava, polished surroundings, and one of the best high-level views available in Gdańsk. The evening has enough setting and ceremony to feel special, even if the cooking does not impress every palate.

I would not book it as an unquestionable food pilgrimage. The mixed response about the dishes, including dry fish and one strongly negative opinion, calls for sensible expectations. For the best chance of a smooth visit, arrive early, find the ground-floor reception, state any allergies clearly, and ask about extra drink prices before ordering.
