    This delightful restaurant, on a cobbled street in the old town, specialises in Polish cuisine and seafood.

    Inside is a high ceiling narrow room, almost like half a room really, with 6 or so tables – the small number of seats making booking recommended – ochre walls are decorated with an eclectic mix of paintings and photos ranging from Victorian-style romanticism, views of Gdansk, still life and modern art. Dotted around are pot plants, comfy sofas and there is even a piano, all adding to the feel of a cluttered, homely, welcoming parlour. The sort of place you could imagine curing up with a cat on your knee and a good book or enjoying a tipsy, sherry fuelled game of charades.

    The food is excellent, very well cooked and with a good choice of dishes including pierofi, veal, beef and salmon. Service too was very good, friendly yet understated. All in all Czerwone Dzrwi is a great restaurant with a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Enter the Red Door and enjoy.

    We had

    Marinated Herrings – a lovely strong, fresh taste
    Borsch and Dumplings – warm, comforting, deliciously sweet and sour

    Trout with Herbs and Potatoes - melt in the mouth tasty
    Veal Escalope with Gorgonzola – quite light, the gorgonzola providing a tasty cheese ‘hit’

    Sweet Dumplings with Fruit and Cream – ooh so nice. They were eaten so quickly we couldn’t speak just spent the next few minutes going “Mmmmm”.

    2 Goldwasser, 2 beers, 1 Espresso

    212 zl inc. 20 zl tip (approx. Ł38.00/$73.00)

    Home to the wonderful Goldwasser Liqueur the Goldwasser Restaurant is in a fantastic location by the Motlawa waterfront. Wooden tables and cushion covered chairs jostle together on the outside terrace, an awning protecting diners from any spots of rain. It’s a lovely setting, great for watching people as they stroll along the embankment and beautiful as night falls, soft lights illuminate the Motlawa and the moon peeps from behind the clouds.

    The menu is extensive with fish, meat and Polish specialties; there is also a reasonably priced set menu. The food is simple and well cooked possibly a little on the heavy side – cream based sauces, dumpling accompaniments etc.. – for some tastes but one person’s heavy is another persons comfort.

    Service was friendly and quick - it is a busy restaurant - though without the sensation of being rushed. If you like good solid food and a romantic setting then Goldwasser will certainly appeal.

    We had

    Sole in Wine and Herb Sauce with chips – very tasty, the sole was lightly fried, the sauce tangy with the additional of capers
    Pork Ribs With Honey and Vodka Sauce plus dumplings cabbage – the meat was very tender, the vodka in the sauce complimented the honey without being overpowering

    Apple Tarte with ice creeam and cream

    1 Beer, 1 Fizzy Water, 1 Espresso, 2 Goldwasser

    172.50 zl inc 15 zl tip (approx. Ł30.00/$59.00)

    Tri Medwiedia. Kuchnia Rosyjska: The worst food in Gdansk :-( but...

  • TRI MIEDWIEDIA RESTAURANT - Gdansk
    TRI MIEDWIEDIA RESTAURANT
    by matcrazy1, 4 more photos
    I can recommend this place only for watching people with a glass (or more) of Polish beer from keg. Zywiec is the best. There are Polish Warka strong, local Heweliusz and Dutch Heineken beers from a keg available as well, each cost 4 (0.3 l) or 6 zl (0.5 l). €1 = 4 zl, US$1 = 3.3 zl.

    The name of this restaurant (Tri Medwiedia) is written in Russian alphabet and means Three Bears. "Kuchnia Rosyjska" means Russian cuisine. Indeed, their menu contains some meals advertised as Russian but many Polish as well.

    The location is perfect for those folks who are interested in watching people. They have wooden tables and chairs (not comfortable) in the middle of the Long Market. Prices as for this location, are below average. Maybe that's why the restaurant is always full of consumers. And these are the only advantages. Urszula noticed famous Polish journalist (Kuba Wojewodzki) drinking beer next table. Some youths asked him for a signature and he never refused.

    Let me complain a bit now. Our young waitress was smiling all the time and it was the only good thing about her. She mistaken our order and bill, forgot to bring an ashtray and cutlery etc. She didn't knew anything on food served. She had to ask someone else to reply to our simple questions which took ages. Well, she always replied, yes, sure, wait a minute, please. Generally the service was slow, even very slow.

    The toilet inside a house wasn't dirty but not at all clean as well, and there was no paper towel or hand dryer there. Is it included in Russian culture?

    Baked potato cake (Babka kartoflana 9 zl) was filled with a very small amount of boiled meat (have your glasses ready) but tasted quite good. It's nothing special but quite good option for a budget visitor. Add Polish (delicious) Zywiec beer (4 or 6 zl). And it's enough.

    Bottled Russian beer called Tri Medwiedia (Trzy Niedzwiedzie 6 zl) was awful - it probably had been wrongly stored for a long time.
    Moscow betroot soup with meat balls (Barszcz moskiewski z frykandelkami, 6 zl) was even eatable but they put fat and not fresh cream on the top.
    Salmon on caviar sauce with rice and salad (Filet z lososia pod kawiorowym sosiem, 19 zl) was awful, probably boiled many times and eventually warmed up in a microwave, the sauce was terrible, only rice mixed with vegetables was quite good.
    Cossak pelmienii (pasta poaches) with mutton (Pielmienii Kozackie z baraniny, 9 zl) were my next awful dissapointment.

    Being a lover of Greece and Greek food I had to stop in this Greek resturant perfectly located for those who like to watch people. The service is average (nice and quite fast waiter), the food as well. Usually meals served in Greek restaurant in Poland are huge (one meal is enough for two persons) but in this case they were not that big.

    Unfortunatelly the place is far too expensive like most (but not all) restaurants along Dlugie Pobrzeze (the Long Waterfront), probably that's why it was almost empty. Maybe they go bancrupt soon (?). Except to pay 10 - 14 zl per soup and 29 - 72 zl per main course, for example moussaka - 44 zl, squids (kalmary) for vegetarians - 39 zl. €1 = 4 zl, US$1 = 3.3 zl.

    We had only beer (Polish Zywiec), coffee and two Greek desserts (Greek pastry with filo, honey, and nuts):
    - baklava (or baklawa), a popular sweet pastry that forms part of the cuisine of a variety of cultures in the Middle East and the Balkans. It has a high sugar and butter content, making it extremely rich;
    - kadaifi.
    Luckily , both were not as sweet as I could expect.

    I walked Dlugie Pobrzeze, a busy pedestrian street along the Motlawa river and I simply had to sit down in one of little, fenced gardens in front of numerous restaurants located one by one. I didn't want to eat anything but just to relax, check what to see next and drink coffee or juice.

    I must admit that the place is charming and wonderful for watching people if you manage to sit by the outside tables which are almost always busy. You may go upstairs to the terrace overlooking the Motlawa. My opinion is that the place is better than the pizza we have eaten there.

    Finally we two ordered one small Capriciosa pizza (cheese, mushrooms, ham). The pizza was not that small we expected. It was good but nothing great. And it cost more than in other places (approx. 15 zl as I remember).

    Gosia and I are real pros at finding wonderful cafes for lunch or coffee. Here we had a view of the street with all its retail and tourists providing us with continuous "people watching" entertainment. However, I was distracted by the little dog being fed scraps by his mistress at a nearby table. It made me homesick for my precious companion waiting for me at home.

    Fancy a fish meal? Gdansk has lots of places that serve fish, many are located at the old Fish Market at the end of Long Wharf (Dlugie Pobrzeze).
    The Zlota Rybka is in Piwna St. within the main tourist area. Excellent fish, I had salmon but can't remember how much I paid. Nice interior decor, very maritime, with lots of details to look at while you await your meal. Some celebrities left their signatures on the walls, one of them was the Animals!
