The story
Fisherman in Gdańsk is a seafood restaurant at Grunwaldzka 89, 81-771 Sopot, and it earned a Gault&Millau score of 14 for 2026. Its seasonal menu is built on Polish cooking, with fresh fish, game and foraged greens.
Head chef Rafał Koziorzemski builds the menu on Polish home cooking, then pushes it in unexpected directions. The kitchen cooks every dish from fresh ingredients and does not use frozen products. Cooks gather herbs such as wild garlic, wood sorrel and wild rocket from nearby meadows and forests. Koziorzemski has won several culinary competitions, including the Transgourmet Chefs en Or contest in 2023.
The rainbow trout tartare arrives with mustard, egg yolk, capers and pickled onion. A soup of fermented sorrel comes with potato purée and a confit egg yolk. Mains include three fish dishes alongside rabbit and venison, and vegans can order asparagus in a brown butter sauce. For guests who want to try more, the kitchen offers a six or nine course tasting menu.
The dining room uses sea tones, grey, white and light wood, with large windows that fill the room with daylight. A fish-scale patterned bar stands out, and a glass-enclosed patio adds seating. The garden terrace is covered, so guests can eat outside in rainy weather during the season. Staff know the menu and the extensive wine list well, and the restaurant also hosts private dining, catering and a kids menu.
