Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor

Gdańsk’s best dinner view comes with a Spanish accent. At Treinta y Tres, you sit 140 meters above the ground in Olivia Star while a three-course menu traces flavors from several parts of Spain. The setting is the main event, but the food and service need to carry their share of the evening.

I like the combination of a Bib Gourmand restaurant and a full city panorama. I also like that the $81 price includes an appetizer, main course, dessert, and a glass of Spanish Cava, rather than charging only for the view. The catch is practical: finding the restaurant can be harder than expected, and one diner found the fish dry while another felt no one asked about additional drinks.

Key points

• 33rd-floor location: Treinta y Tres sits in Olivia Star, the highest skyscraper in Northern Poland, with views across the TriCity and Gdańsk Bay.
• Spanish three-course menu: Your booking includes an appetizer, main course, dessert, and one glass of Spanish Cava.
• Michelin-trained leadership: Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri have received seven Michelin Stars across their careers.
• Ground-floor check-in: Go first to the Treinta y Tres reception in Olivia Star, then take an elevator to floor 32 and continue to floor 33.
• Good for a special evening: The restaurant combines formal food credentials with a relaxed setting and a memorable high-rise view.
• Plan for food preferences: Tell the restaurant about allergies during your visit, and note that pets are not allowed.

A Spanish dinner above Gdańsk

Treinta y Tres gives you two experiences at once. The first is a Spanish meal shaped by Mediterranean cooking and flavors from different regions of Spain. The second is a high-rise viewing point, where the TriCity and Gdańsk Bay spread out below you.

The restaurant is on the 33rd floor of Olivia Star, described as the highest skyscraper in Northern Poland. At 140 meters, the view is not a small bonus tucked beside the dining room. It is one of the reasons to choose this experience over an ordinary restaurant dinner.

The setting is elegant but relaxed, so you do not need to treat the evening like a stiff formal ceremony. Still, this is a food-focused outing, not a quick meal between sightseeing stops. Give yourself time to arrive, check in, reach the top floor, and enjoy the courses without rushing.

Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri oversee the culinary direction. Their careers include seven Michelin Stars between them, which helps explain the restaurant’s ambitious approach. The menu is not presented as a list of standard tourist dishes. Instead, it takes inspiration from Spain’s warmer climate, regional traditions, and Mediterranean ingredients.

Reaching the 33rd floor

Your first stop is the Treinta y Tres reception on the ground floor of Olivia Star. Do not assume you can walk straight into the dining room from outside. The activity information specifically directs you to the restaurant reception, and one diner found the directions difficult to follow.

From there, you are taken by elevator to the 32nd floor. You then continue to the 33rd floor by stairs or elevator. That detail matters for anyone with mobility concerns, though the activity is listed as wheelchair accessible. If you are using a wheelchair, want to avoid stairs, or simply need clearer directions, ask the English or Polish host at reception for help before going upward.

The separate entrance helps you get to the restaurant without waiting in an ordinary line. Still, I would arrive with a few spare minutes. Olivia Star is a large modern building, and the route from the entrance to the dining room is part of the experience rather than a single obvious doorway.

Once you reach the restaurant, the practical confusion gives way to the view. From 140 meters up, Gdańsk is no longer just a collection of streets and landmarks. You see the wider TriCity area and Gdańsk Bay in one broad sweep, giving you a useful sense of the region’s scale.

What arrives on the dinner menu

The included meal has three courses:

• An appetizer
• A main course
• Dessert

You also receive one glass of Spanish Cava. The exact dishes are not fixed in the information provided, so you should not book this expecting a particular fish, meat, or dessert. The menu is described as a journey through various Spanish regions, with a strong Mediterranean influence.

That format makes the experience easier to budget. You are not paying $81 for a seat and then discovering that every course costs extra. Your core dinner and one glass of sparkling wine are already included.

The food has received mixed but generally positive reactions. One diner praised both its appearance and taste, along with the service. Another found the meal only acceptable and thought the fish was a little dry. That contrast is useful. Treinta y Tres has serious culinary credentials, but an impressive restaurant can still produce a dish that does not suit every palate on every evening.

If you enjoy careful presentation, Spanish ingredients, and a set menu with several courses, this should appeal to you. If you prefer a large portion, familiar comfort food, or complete control over every dish, the experience may feel less predictable.

Tell the restaurant about any allergies during your visit. Do this early, rather than waiting until a course arrives. The menu can reflect Spanish and Mediterranean traditions, but no detailed ingredient list is provided in advance.

The Cava and the extra drinks

The package includes one glass of Spanish Cava. That gives the meal a clear starting point and fits the Spanish theme without forcing you to buy a full bottle.

Signature cocktails are not included. Neither are the restaurant’s larger alcohol selection, which includes more than 700 wine titles and a special collection of other spirits. This can be a real advantage for wine lovers, since you have plenty of choice beyond the included glass. It can also make the final bill climb quickly if you begin ordering from the broader list.

One important service detail is worth keeping in mind. A diner felt that no one asked about ordering another drink with the meal. I would simply speak up if you want wine, a cocktail, or another glass of Cava. The included drink covers only one glass, and extra alcohol is outside the package.

The restaurant’s wine collection is part of what makes this feel like a proper dining occasion rather than a viewpoint with food attached. But you should decide in advance how much you want to spend beyond the $81 package. The menu price gives you a solid baseline; the drinks list offers many ways to add to it.

The view is best treated as part of dinner

The view changes the mood of the meal. During daylight, you can make out the wider shape of the TriCity and Gdańsk Bay. Later, the same height gives you a different sense of the city, with lights replacing the daytime details.

The activity does not promise a particular sunset or time of day, so check available starting times before booking. If the view is your main reason for going, choose a time that suits your plans and remember that visibility can affect what you see. The high-rise location guarantees height, not a particular sky.

I like this arrangement because you are not pushed through a short observation stop. The panorama accompanies a full meal, giving you time to look up between courses. You can enjoy the city without trying to squeeze an extra attraction into an already packed day.

The trade-off is that the view may compete with the food. A dramatic skyline can pull your attention away from the plate, especially when you first arrive. That is part of the fun, but diners seeking a quiet, intensely focused tasting menu may find the setting more visually demanding than a small, low-lit restaurant.

Service, tone, and expectations

The service has been praised as one of the stronger parts of the experience. One diner specifically described both the food and table service as very good. Another praised the overall service while also reporting an uncomfortable first interaction at the reception desk.

That suggests a useful approach: separate the arrival process from the meal itself. The first welcome may not perfectly set the tone, especially if you are uncertain about where to go. Once seated, the restaurant’s table service may feel more polished and attentive.

The hosts speak English and Polish. You can ask for help with the route, explain allergies, and clarify what the included menu covers. If you want additional drinks, ask directly instead of assuming they are part of the booking.

The restaurant has received a Bib Gourmand distinction, a useful sign for diners who care about food quality and value. It does not mean every course will suit everyone. It does mean the restaurant is being recognized for a well-priced food experience within the standards of the Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand category.

Is $81 a fair price?

At $81 per person, this is not a bargain dinner in the everyday sense. You can find cheaper meals in Gdańsk. The value comes from the combination of three courses, one glass of Cava, a restaurant with serious culinary credentials, and access to a 140-meter panorama.

I would call it good value for a special evening if you already want a high-end meal and a city view. It is less compelling if you are mainly hungry and want to sample Spanish food as cheaply as possible.

The included structure also protects you from some uncertainty. You know that the appetizer, main course, dessert, and Cava are covered. You can then choose to add wine or cocktails, rather than needing to order extras simply to make the meal feel complete.

The large wine list is both a benefit and a warning. It gives you choice, but those additional bottles and drinks are not part of the advertised price. Set your own spending limit before opening the full list, particularly if you are booking for two or more people.

Who should book this experience?

I would recommend Treinta y Tres to you if you want a meal that feels like an occasion. It works especially well for a birthday, anniversary, final evening in Gdańsk, or any night when you want the restaurant itself to be part of the sightseeing.

It also suits diners who enjoy trying a set menu without needing to choose every course. You will receive a Spanish meal with regional and Mediterranean inspiration, but the precise dishes are not specified. That element of surprise is a plus for some people and a concern for others.

The experience is less suited to you if you dislike fixed menus, need a guaranteed dish, or are likely to judge the meal mainly by portion size. It may also disappoint if you book only for a dramatic view but overlook the food cost.

Families and groups should note the no-pets rule. Wheelchair users can book because the activity is listed as wheelchair accessible, but the route includes a move from the 32nd to the 33rd floor by stairs or elevator. Ask the host for the elevator option if needed.

The duration is listed as one day, which refers to the booking validity rather than a detailed number of hours at the table. Check the available starting times and allow enough time for the building entrance and elevator route.

My verdict on Treinta y Tres

You should book this experience if you want Spanish food, a polished dining room, and one of Northern Poland’s highest dinner views in the same evening. The Cava and three-course menu make the price easier to understand, while the Bib Gourmand recognition and the chefs’ Michelin backgrounds add confidence.

Book with realistic expectations. The menu is not fully specified, extra drinks cost more, and at least one diner found the fish dry. Directions to the restaurant can also be clearer. Arrive early, go to the ground-floor reception, mention allergies, and ask directly for any drinks you want.

For a memorable high-rise meal in Gdańsk, I think the setting gives Treinta y Tres a clear edge. The best reason to reserve is not simply to look out over the city. It is to combine that view with a proper Spanish dinner and enough time to enjoy both.
