Well a broken toe may have enticed us to sit and eat a little more on this trip. But what other excuse do you need to eat out other than a holiday. It’s one of the things I look forward to the most!
Where to find places to eat in Gdańsk?
I stalk Instagram ready to figure out where I need to try when I get there. I always find Instagram has done if the best finds. Small businesses or big chains. It’s one way to find a usually honest review. Tripadvisor is always another good start. We found the best burger places in Cologne through Tripadvisor!
Pinterest is also another good way to find blog reviews. I sometimes forget about Pinterest, but it filters out loads of bad photos you can sometimes see on Instagram. Sometimes you just need that good angle photo!
Finding the best Pierogi in Gdańsk Poland
We only ate in two places for this, but they were amazing. I tried them on Wrocław so I knew roughly what to expect. However Pierogarnie Stary Mlyn was the best ones I have ever ever had. As well as the place having such an authentic feel. They did ever Pierogi type I’ve ever seen.
Schnitzel and Mizeria
Not going to lie, I thought schnitzel was German. We saw them everywhere in Germany. So when I saw them on the menu I had to try it. In Gdańsk a lot of meals come with a Mizeria salad on the side. Mizeria is cucumber, dill and sour cream. Something very strange but weirdly goes well! We sat on the riverside at Gdanski Bowke and enjoyed watching the world go by!
My favourite chain restaurant in Poland
Every time I see Whiskey in the Jar in Poland I have to go. They do some amazing burgers in their chains and I can’t get enough of them. They’re a similar sort of vibe to TGI. But the staff and atmosphere in their restaurants is second to none. Such a fun and relaxed environment and great place to grab some drinks! Well even more so if you like whiskey anyway!
And of course.. chimney cakes! I never tried one of these in Wrocław so I knew I had to this time. I for some reason didn’t realise how absolutely massive they were though! So unless you have a sweet tooth. I would share one!
If you need some more inspo, check my highlights on Instagram. There was so many great places to try. But these ones always stick in my mind! We thoroughly ate our way through Gdańsk and had the best time. We’re off to Prague next and I cannot wait!
