The story
Café Xander arrived on the Sopot dining scene with a clear identity: an International restaurant inspired by the cosmopolitan spirit, driven by an original culinary concept. Chef Daniel Burandt leads the kitchen, composing a menu that fuses Mediterranean and Polish influences into a harmonious whole. The result is a place where classic flavors meet surprising combinations, all served in an elegant yet relaxed setting. The restaurant earned its place among the prestigious Michelin-recommended establishments in 2024, a recognition it carried into 2025, alongside the local Sopockie Perły 2024 award.
The kitchen at this Michelin-recommended restaurant is deeply rooted in the rhythm of the seasons. Chef Burandt and his team prioritize local ingredients, drawing inspiration from Sopot’s coastal location to bring a sense of maritime freshness to the table. The menu spans a range of dishes, from starters like venison tartare with blackberry, pickled shimeji, and rosemary chip, to mains such as halibut with vegetable gratin and dill cream, or a beef steak with chili corn and porcini jus. Desserts include a classic cheesecake with mango and lime, and a butter cookie with rosemary and elderflower blossom. The kitchen also offers a dedicated cocktail program, with classic and original drinks inspired by New York’s Prohibition era, alongside a selection of craft beers and whiskies.
Café Xander is designed as a meeting place for food and atmosphere. The interior is elegant and the mood is intimate, especially during the Friday and Saturday evening live music sessions. It is a spot where dinner and drinks come together seamlessly, with a bar that serves both classic cocktails and original creations like the Bourbon-based Xander Hot Teddy. The restaurant is fully accessible, with air conditioning and parking available.
