About This Spot

Stepping into Restauracja Gvara feels like being invited into a warm and welcoming corner of Gdańsk’s vibrant culinary tapestry. Nestled close to the river on Chlebnicka Street, the space hums with a relaxed yet lively energy—an inviting blend of casual comfort and quiet sophistication. Soft lighting and a gentle murmur of conversation create an atmosphere where both locals and visitors can unwind, savoring the passage of time along with their meal.

Here, the pace encourages you to linger, enjoy the company at your table, and discover something familiar yet fresh in every bite. The kitchen draws deeply from Polish culinary traditions while weaving in contemporary twists—a place where the richness of slow-simmered beef ghoulash or the tender crispness of a traditional kotlet schabowy echoes with nostalgia, yet surprises with subtle nuances.

At Gvara, meals feel like shared moments, occasions to connect over thoughtfully prepared plates and drinks that carry local character. The friendly staff often contribute to the feeling of ease and warmth here, helping you navigate the diverse menu or suggesting something special from their bar offerings. Whether it’s a hearty breakfast, a relaxed dinner, or an evening spent savoring a well-crafted cocktail with friends, the place invites a genuine enjoyment of good company and satisfying flavors.

Not merely a spot to eat or drink, Restauracja Gvara is a quiet celebration of Gdańsk’s culinary roots, offering an experience where familiarity and discovery meet effortlessly in the heart of the city.

I enjoyed so many wonderful meals in Gdansk, which may be why I felt a little underwhelmed by my visit here. There was nothing bad or particularly negative about my meal but nothing very notable either. The starter was presented nicely, the main (a traditional breaded pork cutlet with potatoes) was well prepared and was a hearty portion. However I feel the price was definitely higher here than other places I visited and it did nothing to particularly earn the extra cost (especially as the city is full of affordable restaurants). Service was swift and acceptable but not particularly warm. It was... fine. One thing I didn't like was the decor though. It felt like it was straight out of an IKEA catalogue.

The food was very good and we were able to get a table without reservation for a group of 8 people. Great place I would recommend to visit.

Walked by this place and decided to pop in for dinner because of their menu! Was with a party of 3 when we came and had their Christmas menu. Food was so good, and their service so prompt

So tasty and very friendly, located close to the river, beautiful view. In the end of our dinner got compliment shots of Soplice from our waiter

Really nice place, staff are friendly, the food was excellent (rosoł, żurek, pierogi, z kaczką, schabowy z kapustą, piers z kaczki) - see pics :) Slight communication issue with one of the dishes, but all was resolved. I would definitely recommend a visit.

The staff were very friendly, the food was delicious, and the Gvara cake is an absolute must-try — 10/10!

An excellent experience, with great food – authentic but with a creative twist. Highly recommended.

I came here twice, back to back, dinner the previous evening and lunch the next day…..that speaks for itself! Saturday evening there was a live singer who sang and played the guitar so well. The quality / flavours and portion of food, service and ambience are excellent! Few vegan options here. Wish had space for the desert which is very tempting to read in the menu and look at!
