Gdańsk, as a Hanseatic city, hosted merchants from various parts of Europe and the world for centuries. With them came a lot of exotic and unusual spices, vegetables and fruits, which became a permanent part of the local cuisine. This includes: they have left their mark on the local cuisine. Its flavors are deeply rooted in the histories, culture and traditions of people who came here from all over the world.
Currently, as part of the "Tastes of Gdańsk" project run by the Gdańsk Tourist Organization, we place emphasis on promoting and disseminating knowledge about local cuisine. Chefs of local restaurants located in the Main Town and further parts of Gdańsk are rediscovering and reviving old recipes from the Gdańsk cookbook. They create authentic culinary masterpieces that will take you back to the 19th century.
However, "Tastes of Gdańsk" is not only a journey into the past - it is also a tribute to local and seasonal products that constitute the heart and soul of regional cuisine. The dishes served as part of the project change depending on the season, reflecting the abundance of nature.
"Tastes of Gdańsk" is not just a meal - it is a journey in time and space during which you will discover the essence of this unique city through its culinary heritage. Join our journey through the flavors and smells of Old Gdańsk cuisine.
