The story
At Fino in Gdańsk, the kitchen philosophy is built on quality, simplicity, and a playful approach to form. The team works with carefully sourced local produce, turning each dish into a precise, balanced composition. The restaurant's commitment to this approach has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition that speaks to the consistency and depth of the cooking.
On Thursday through Saturday, Fino serves exclusively its tasting menus, designed for the whole table. The meat-and-fish option (475 zł) and the plant-based alternative (435 zł) both unfold over several courses, highlighting ingredients such as beetroot, sturgeon, beef, goose, cod, fennel, venison, and caviar. The plant-based menu draws on celery, watermelon, cabbage, parsley, and artichoke, among others. For those who want to explore further, a wine pairing is available, including a vegan and a premium selection.
When the full menu is available, starters like chopped beef tartare with onion ice cream and mushroom mayonnaise, or a silky semifreddo of celery with smoked plum and Polish truffles, set the tone. Main courses include Moulard duck breast with Jerusalem artichoke purée, or cod with cauliflower and crayfish sauce. The desserts are equally inventive: a twaróg cream with white chocolate and Oscietra caviar, or a carrot cake with mirabelle plum sorbet.
Guests consistently praise the professional service and the thoughtful wine list, which includes Polish selections. The atmosphere is described as intimate and refined, making it a destination for those who value modern cuisine at its most focused.
