Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor

At Treinta y Tres, dinner comes with a remarkable bonus: a 140-meter view over Gdańsk, Sopot, Gdynia, and Gdańsk Bay. The restaurant occupies the 33rd floor of Olivia Star, Northern Poland’s highest skyscraper, so the setting is as much a part of the experience as the Spanish cooking.

I like the clear three-course format and the included glass of Cava. I also like the chance to sample food shaped by Spanish regions under chefs Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri, whose careers include seven Michelin stars. The main caution is practical: directions to the building and restaurant can be confusing, and one diner found the first welcome at the desk uncomfortable.

Why this dinner is more than a meal

Many restaurant experiences give you either good food or a memorable setting. Treinta y Tres aims for both. You are not simply sitting in a Spanish restaurant at street level. You are eating high above the TriCity, with Gdańsk Bay spread out beyond the windows.

That changes the rhythm of the evening. The meal is still the main event, but the view gives you something to return to between courses. If you book near sunset, the city view may shift during dinner, though the exact light and weather will depend on the day.

The restaurant has received a Bib Gourmand award, a useful sign that it is recognized for quality and value within the Michelin Guide system. That does not mean every dish will suit every taste. One diner found the food disappointing, and another found the fish a little dry. Still, the overall score of 4.4 from 22 ratings suggests a generally strong experience, especially when food and service come together as intended.

Spanish cooking from Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri

The kitchen is connected with Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri, chefs who have earned seven Michelin stars over the course of their careers. That background sets a high expectation, but you should read it correctly. The included meal is a fixed dinner menu, not a full tasting menu with a long parade of small plates.

You receive an appetizer, a main course, and dessert. The food takes inspiration from different regions of Spain and from traditional Mediterranean cooking. The menu is also described as being shaped by Spain’s hot climate, which points toward the restaurant’s broader culinary direction rather than a single regional specialty.

That three-course structure suits you if you want a polished dinner without committing to a lengthy evening. It gives you enough time to appreciate the food and the view, but it does not require the attention or appetite of an elaborate tasting menu.

The menu can change, so you should not arrive expecting a particular fish, meat, dessert, or regional dish. If you have allergies, tell the restaurant when you arrive. This is especially important when you are eating a set menu, since substitutions may need to be considered before the kitchen begins preparing your courses.

What arrives at the table

The appetizer begins the Spanish theme, followed by the main course and dessert. The available information does not specify the exact dishes, so it would be unwise to promise a particular ingredient or cooking style. You can expect the menu to reflect Mediterranean ideas and Spanish regional flavors, but the precise plates may vary.

The strongest feedback focuses on presentation, flavor, and service. One diner found the food both beautiful and delicious, while another praised the food and table service but had a poor first impression at the reception desk. A separate experience was less successful, with the fish described as dry.

That range is worth keeping in mind. A high-end setting and accomplished chefs do not remove the normal risks of a changing menu. If fish appears on your menu and you prefer it cooked in a particular way, it is reasonable to explain your preference to the staff. You can also ask about the dishes if something is unclear.

The included Cava adds a pleasant Spanish touch. It is one glass, not an open bar or a wine pairing. The restaurant also has more than 700 wine titles and a large selection of other alcohol, but those drinks cost extra. Signature cocktails are not included either.

If you care about wine, this is where the price can rise quickly. The set menu gives you a clear starting cost, while the large wine list offers choice for those happy to pay more. If you only want a drink with dinner, check what is included and ask directly about additional options, since one diner said nobody asked whether they wanted to order another drink.

The 33rd floor setting at Olivia Star

Olivia Star is the defining feature of this experience. The restaurant sits on the 33rd floor, and the view reaches across the whole TriCity and toward Gdańsk Bay. At 140 meters above ground, you get a broad view rather than a close look at individual streets or monuments.

This is especially useful if you want to understand the shape of the wider urban area. Gdańsk, Sopot, and Gdynia are often visited separately, but from this height you can see them as part of one connected coastal region.

The setting is described as elegant but relaxed. That balance matters. You can plan this as a special evening without assuming you need a stiff, formal occasion. The restaurant suits a celebration, a date, a final night in the area, or simply a dinner that breaks up a sightseeing schedule.

The view can also be the reason to book if you are less interested in a museum or walking tour. You get a clear sense of place while sitting down to eat. Just remember that weather and daylight affect how much you see. The building is high, but clouds, rain, darkness, or haze can limit the panorama.

Finding the restaurant without a wrong turn

The meeting point is the Treinta y Tres reception on the ground floor of Olivia Star. Do not assume you should go directly to a general observation area or search for the dining room upstairs on your own. Start at the restaurant reception.

The route has one detail that can surprise you. You take an elevator to the 32nd floor, then use either stairs or another elevator to reach the 33rd floor. If you have limited mobility, state that clearly to the host or greeter so the elevator route can be used.

Directions deserve attention. One diner found getting to the activity difficult and felt the instructions could have been clearer. Give yourself extra time to find Olivia Star and the correct entrance, particularly if you are arriving after dark or are unfamiliar with the business district around the building.

English and Polish assistance is available. The activity is wheelchair accessible, but the transition between floors means you should mention your access needs at reception. Pets are not allowed.

How the price compares at $81

At $81 per person, this is not a budget dinner. You are paying for three things at once: the meal, the restaurant setting, and the view from one of the tallest buildings in Northern Poland.

The value is strongest if you would otherwise pay for a good dinner and seek out a separate city panorama. The included Cava also gives the package a defined extra, though it is only one glass. If you plan to order wine, cocktails, or other spirits, add those costs before deciding if the evening fits your budget.

The three-course format helps keep the price understandable. You know the meal includes an appetizer, main course, dessert, and Cava. That makes it easier to compare with an ordinary dinner, even though the high-floor setting makes this a special-occasion purchase.

I would book it for the experience rather than for quantity. If your top goal is a large meal at the lowest possible cost, this is not the right pick. If you want a polished dinner with a sweeping view and a Spanish focus, the price is easier to justify.

Who will enjoy Treinta y Tres most

This dinner suits you best if you value atmosphere, views, and a planned menu. It is also a good fit for couples and small groups marking a special evening, though the available information does not specify the seating arrangement or group size.

Food-focused visitors will appreciate the connection to Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri, along with the Bib Gourmand recognition. You should still approach the menu with some flexibility, since exact dishes are not given and the fish has not worked equally well for everyone.

It is less suitable if you want a casual, spontaneous meal with many inexpensive drink options included. The set menu and extra-cost alcohol list make this a more structured evening.

The activity is also a sensible choice for someone who wants one memorable view without adding a separate sightseeing stop. You can combine dinner and the panorama in one booking, but plan the arrival carefully so a confusing building entrance does not spoil the first few minutes.

Timing, cancellation, and small practical details

The experience is valid for one day, with starting times based on availability. Since the supplied information does not give a fixed dinner duration, check the available time when booking and avoid scheduling another activity too tightly afterward.

You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. The reserve-now, pay-later option lets you hold a place without paying immediately, which helps if your Gdańsk plans are still shifting.

Tell the staff about allergies as soon as you arrive. Do not rely on a last-minute request after the first course has been served. Also remember that the listed price covers the dinner menu and Cava, not signature cocktails or the restaurant’s wider wine and spirits selection.

Should you book this Spanish dinner?

I would book Treinta y Tres if you want a memorable view paired with a proper three-course meal, and if $81 feels reasonable for a special evening. The setting is unusual, the Spanish theme is clear, and the chefs bring serious experience to the kitchen.

I would pause if your main concern is predictable food or a low total bill. The fish has been dry for at least one diner, extra drinks cost more, and getting to the reception may take patience. Check the menu details and starting time, allow extra arrival time, and tell the staff about allergies.

For a first visit to the TriCity, this is a strong choice when you want dinner to feel like part of the sightseeing. The view is the reason to remember it, while the food and service determine whether the evening feels worth the price.
