Spanish food, then Gdańsk’s skyline from above. From the 33rd floor of Olivia Star, Treinta y Tres pairs a Bib Gourmand kitchen with chefs Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri, plus a menu inspired by Spain. You also get a serious payoff in the form of views over TriCity and the Gdańsk Bay.

I love the straightforward format: a Spanish-style dinner that moves from appetizer to main to dessert, with one glass of Spanish cava included. I also like that the setting is relaxed but elegant, so the meal feels special without turning into stiff ceremony.

One possible drawback to plan for: your included drink is just that one cava glass, and other alcohol such as cocktails is not included, so the final bill can climb if you order more.

Treinta y Tres on Olivia Star: the 33rd-floor setup

Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor - Treinta y Tres on Olivia Star: the 33rd-floor setup
If you want a Gdańsk experience that mixes food with a skyline moment, this is a strong choice. The restaurant, Treinta y Tres, sits on the 33rd floor of Olivia Star, the highest skyscraper in Northern Poland.

When you arrive, you go to the Treinta y Tres reception on the ground floor. From there, you use the building elevators, first to the 32nd floor, then you take stairs or another elevator up to the 33rd. You also have a skip-the-line option via a separate entrance, which helps when the building is busy.

The team hosting you speaks English and Polish, so you should have an easier time getting oriented. If you have allergies, this is the moment to tell them during your visit, since the menu is a set format rather than a free-for-all.

What the Spanish dinner menu is really like

Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor - What the Spanish dinner menu is really like
This is not a snack-and-mingle evening. You’re given a specific Spanish dinner menu that follows a clear rhythm: appetizer, main course, and dessert.

That structure matters because it keeps the experience moving at a good pace, especially when you’re also taking in the views from 140 meters up. You’ll also taste a menu inspired by the hot climate of Spain, which typically means flavors that feel Mediterranean and sun-kissed rather than heavy.

Your included drink is one glass of Spanish cava, so you get the celebratory touch right from the start. If you love pairing food with wine or want cocktails, just know those are not included, and the big wine selection is extra.

And yes, you’re dining with the kind of atmosphere where the view is part of the experience, not just decoration. Expect an elegant setting that stays relaxed, with the meal and the skyline running in parallel.

Chefs Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri: why it matters to you

Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor - Chefs Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri: why it matters to you
The chef names here are not small talk. Treinta y Tres is run by culinary masters Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri, chefs credited with a career tied to 7 Michelin Stars.

You don’t need to be a Michelin nerd to feel the difference. When a place is led by chefs with that kind of background, the menu tends to be tighter, with more care in technique, seasoning, and balance across the whole meal.

The restaurant also carries a Bib Gourmand honor, which usually signals strong quality without pretending to be untouchable luxury. For you, that translates to value, because you’re paying for an accomplished kitchen plus a dramatic setting.

If you’re the kind of person who thinks dining should be about flavors first, this chef-driven approach is a good match. If you’re hoping for a long menu with lots of choices, the set-menu style might feel more structured than you expect.

The view from 140 meters: TriCity and Gdańsk Bay photo time

This is the part you can’t fake. Olivia Star puts you roughly 140 meters above the ground, and from there you can take in the wider TriCity area along with the Gdańsk Bay.

The practical upside of eating high up is timing. You can look out during the meal rather than trying to squeeze in a separate sightseeing stop before or after dinner. It also makes the night feel like an event, even if your schedule is packed.

To get the most out of the panorama, I suggest planning to arrive with a calm mindset. Don’t treat the view like a five-minute checklist item. Give yourself a few minutes during the meal to look around slowly, especially as the buildings and shoreline lines come into focus.

Also, keep in mind that the building route is part of the experience. The elevator ride and that last climb to the 33rd floor sets the tone, so when you finally sit down, it feels like you earned the perspective.

Service style and small gotchas to know before you go

Overall, the dining experience centers on strong food and solid table service. Many diners praise the meal quality and the way service works at the table.

Still, there are a couple of practical considerations to keep your evening smooth. One is how you get to the restaurant space. Directions can be tricky if you show up without a clear plan, so head straight to the Treinta y Tres reception on the ground floor, then follow the elevator route to 32, and up to 33.

Another is how drinks work. Since cocktails and extra alcohol are not included, you may want to decide in advance whether you’ll just enjoy the included cava or if you plan to spend more on wine or cocktails. If you prefer minimal upsells, make your choices early and stick to them.

Finally, if you have allergies, tell the staff during your visit. With a set menu, that matters even more than it would at a restaurant where you can freely switch dishes.

Price and value: what $81 buys in Gdańsk

Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor - Price and value: what $81 buys in Gdańsk
At $81 per person, this experience is priced around a full Spanish dinner plus skyline access and a glass of Spanish cava. You’re not just paying for food, and you’re not just paying for views. You’re paying for the combination of both in one sitting.

The value is strongest if you would normally spend a similar amount on a quality multi-course dinner. The set-menu structure helps too, because it reduces decision fatigue. You get appetizer, main, and dessert without needing to map out what to order from a long list.

Where the price can shift is drinks beyond the included cava. Signature cocktails are not included, and the wine list is extensive, with over 700 titles plus other alcohol. That’s great if you love wine, but it also means the final bill can move quickly if you treat dinner like a tasting tour.

So here’s the simple strategy: enjoy the included cava as your baseline. If you know you want additional alcohol, decide what you’re comfortable spending ahead of time.

How to plan your 1-day timing in the TriCity

This experience is valid for 1 day, and the start times depend on availability. That means it fits well as a planned dinner, not something you leave to chance at the end of a sightseeing day.

If you’re in Gdańsk for a short stay, this is an efficient way to add both culture and “wow” to one evening. Eat at a height, enjoy a Spanish menu, and get a built-in city panorama without needing a separate tour.

If your trip includes other TriCity stops like Gdynia or Sopot, this dinner can act as the unifying view. You get to see the broader area from above, then return to street level with the city feeling more connected in your head.

A small planning tip: don’t overpack your schedule right before dinner. The elevator-to-32nd-then-33rd flow takes a little time, and you’ll enjoy the meal more if you arrive without stress.

Who should book this rooftop Spanish dinner

Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor - Who should book this rooftop Spanish dinner
This experience is a strong match if you want a Spanish food hit in Gdańsk with a dramatic change of scenery. You’ll like it most if you care about culinary technique, like chef-led dining, and want the view to be part of the meal.

It also suits couples and friends who want a planned, low-hassle night. The set menu, English and Polish host, and skip-the-line entrance all reduce the usual “where do we go” friction.

If you’re traveling with someone who wants skyline views but doesn’t want a long sightseeing day, this is a neat compromise. Food first, view included, no extra legwork.

One more match check: if you have pets, they are not allowed for this experience. Wheelchair access is available, so mobility needs are considered, but you should still expect the route involves an elevator to 32 and then a stairs or elevator segment to the 33rd.

Should you book Treinta y Tres at Olivia Star?

I’d book it if you want a one-stop Gdańsk evening that combines Spanish cuisine with an honest-to-goodness high-rise viewpoint. The chef credentials tied to 7 Michelin Stars, the Bib Gourmand recognition, and the complete 3-course menu plus a cava glass make it feel like more than just a scenic dinner.

Skip the stress by doing two things: go directly to the Treinta y Tres reception on the ground floor, and plan how you’ll handle drinks beyond the included cava. If you want a simple, predictable meal with a single included toast, you’ll probably feel happy with the value.

Pass on it if your main goal is a flexible menu with lots of ordering freedom or if skyline views are not a priority. With a set dinner format, you’re there for the package, not for choose-your-own-adventure dining.
