Tastes of Gdańsk is a project that combines culinary tradition with a modern approach to sustainable gastronomy. Dishes inspired by 19th-century Gdańsk recipes are prepared using local, seasonal ingredients, which means the menu changes with the seasons. The project is based on the principles of sustainable gastronomy—reducing waste and transportation impact, building consumer awareness, and promoting local producers to support the regional economy.

The project helps extend the tourism season in Gdańsk by presenting the city’s culinary offer as a year-round experience, aligned with the rhythm of nature and the availability of local ingredients. This allows visitors to explore Gdańsk in any season, discovering a variety of seasonal flavors—from summer fish and vegetables to autumn dishes with mushrooms, pickles, and preserves.

Participating restaurants in the project also offer catering services for events and business meetings – a great way to highlight the local character of your event and ensure a sustainable culinary experience. Learn more about the restaurants participating in the project

April 2026 saw the premiere of an extraordinary book. "Tastes of Gdansk. Authentically," published by the Gdansk Tourism Organization, is a unique publication in which 20 chefs share their creative culinary ideas, inspired by a 19th-century cookbook. They don't recreate those recipes but instead rediscover culinary history. The dishes they propose are simultaneously modern and traditional, inspired by hundreds of years of Gdansk’s proud gastronomic heritage. The book is illustrated with beautiful photographs and divided into four main chapters, each dedicated to a different season. The dishes thus relate to a specific period of the calendar. Importantly, all dishes are prepared with meticulous attention to detail, with particular attention to local products and sustainable production.

This is an incredible culinary adventure that can become part of your event catering. It's also a great opportunity to break away from boring buffet standards. With Tastes of Gdansk, catering can be something more, something exceptional. It will allow your guests to enjoy a wonderful culinary experience and discover the unique flavours. Tastes of Gdansk catering is available after individual arrangements with the caterer.
