Gdansk Polish Food Tour

Not a pub crawl and not a restaurant list. A relaxed walk between a few carefully chosen places, with traditional Polish and Kashubian food, drinks with a local story, and history in between.
Why take this tour
For centuries Gdańsk traded grain, spices, fish and spirits across the Baltic. Its most famous drink, Goldwasser — a herbal liqueur with flakes of gold — has been associated with the city for hundreds of years.
A private food walk is the easiest way to eat well in a city you don’t know: no tourist traps, no guessing at menus, and plenty of time to ask questions.

- Pierogi and other Polish classics
- Żurek, the sour rye soup
- Baltic herring and smoked fish
- Goldwasser, Gdańsk’s gold-flecked liqueur
- Local craft beer or non-alcoholic alternatives
- Stories of trade, taverns and merchant tables
