About
Michelin Guide 2024 recommendation. The name of our restaurant, Mercato, signifies the trade route of Pomerania – via Mercatorum, which historically connected Gdańsk with Southern Poland. Our menu combines local and seasonal products with culinary trends from around the world, using the latest techniques. The four symbols which inspire our menu are rooted in history – the broad bean grain, planted by the Pomeranians in e, the noble Baltic salmon, the ‘Fagas’ which was a large Pomeranian sheep bred on Zulawy, and finally the duck, used as a symbol of birds bred for centuries in Pomerania.

We tried the tasting menu with alcohol tasting too and it was a "crescendo" of pleasure.
The amuse bouche they was a perfect opening, with the bread and herb butter.
The trout tartare with compressed curry cucumber and pressed Apple with homemade crème fraîche was wonderful.
The chilled beetroot soup was sweet and sour with a perfect balance.
The fish main with with mangetout, cherry tomatoes and chicken stock foam was super tasty.
The lamb ( perfectly cooked and rested )with the cabbage remoulade with mini lardons, puree and gravy was simply beautiful.
The cherry sorbet was a perfect pre dessert, it really cleaned our palate and the acidity of that was amazing.
The dessert was honestly the asked if was possible to do the compliment to the Chef and the kitchen crew because they really deserve it and he directly went to bring the truffles to our table and we had a beautiful chat.
Super reccomanded, we will go back for another tasting menu as soon as possible.

Time for a visit to the city Gdansk, Poland. Besides the fact that Gdansk is a beautiful historical city to see, restaurant Mercato is the main reason for our visit.
The restaurant is situated in the famous Hilton hotel, right at the side of the Moltawa river. If you have the chance to stay at this hotel, make sure to check out the terrace bar on the top floor, which actually is the highest bar of the old town of Gdansk.
Since 2011, the kitchen of restaurant Mercato is lead by head chef Mercato is Pawel Stawicki. He worked at several 1, 2 and 3 starred restaurants, through which he developed a modern cooking style based on classic techniques.
The ingredients used at restaurant Mercato may be from around the world, but you can also notice that the chef remains dedicated to use local culinary traditions. This has always been the essence of Gdansk cuisine.
An intense start at the restaurant is created by a heavy shot of local liqueur. Ok, we’re awake and fully ready for our dinner now! The dish this liqueur is accompanying is a fresh roe deer tartare with cauliflower and mustard. Surprisingly, these two form a fantastic combination. The second course of potato soup with mushrooms manages to calm us down a bit, before going to our healthy shot of apple, celery and melon. Fried plaice, with armillaria mushrooms, cabadge puree and Kvass sauce is our favorite dish of the menu: the fish could not be more fresh. The head course is a heavy one: pork with three types of mushrooms. The quantity however, is just perfect. A fresh and light finale is provided by our lime dessert, with an espresso martini to close the evening.
All seen together, restaurant Mercato is the perfect spot for a (business) dinner in the center of Gdansk. Although there were some minor inaccuracies regarding the service inside the restaurant, we had a beautiful dinner at restaurant Mercato and a fantastic stay at Hilton hotel.

Tasting menu was delicious and very creative. Fishsoup with no fish was delicious, tartare also amazing, and dessert! Dessert was sooo good. But all evening we had to heard irritating nois from the bar in the same room. Service was professional and apologized us for this. If we will come here another time it will not be weekend's evening.

Mix of different sensations... Place and location are nice. Food is very good and dishes preparation/presentation are perfect. Services is a bit rough and naive. I ordered a glass of champagne but was gives only half glass just because the bottle finished (had to complain to get a standard glass). My wife ordered a kir royal but it was tasting wired, don't think they used crème de cassis.

My family was celecrating our dads 60th birthday. We had the tasting menu. Me personally was not blown away by the food and how they combined the tastes at each course. I would prefere a little more freshness to the heavy meat and cheese. The fish course smelled and tasted very seafood and may be a sign of not he freshest fish. The wine and dessert was very good though. And they gave our dad a complimentary dessert. It was small portions, and it took very long time between each course. At two occations they forgot our drink order. All in all the experience was okey, but my expectations was higher.

We were two couples. One of us has celiac disease, and the restaurant was informed of this when booking. The food: We ordered the 8-course tasting menu with the expensive wine package. For the price, the food was good, but not amazing, for the three of us. They dealt with celiac disease by removing everything that had gluten in it, without replacing it with anything else, possibly serving other dishes instead. This means that main elements of the food were taken away. It was almost laughable when the petit four came with two small pieces - because two of the standard pieces had gluten in them. There was no thought that they could then have brought two pieces of each of those that could be served. They had a gluten-free roll as a substitute for the bread initially, but the planned butter had gluten in it, so they dropped it. When asked if they had any gluten-free butter, it turned out that they had delicious whipped butter in two varieties - with burnt butter and with truffle. It was then served. It arrived immediately, so there was nothing that had to be specially made. Then it's strange that they couldn't fix it on their own.
The wine was good, and went well with the food, but they have chosen glasses that are too small (75cl per glass - 5 for the whole menu). The volume was in the menu, so they served what they had said, but there was no "surplus drink" for the dishes that were not served with their own wine.
The service was awkward. We were not asked if we wanted anything to drink before we started the food, and we sat for a long time without any drink before the food service began. It took a long time before we were asked for a water request, and there was no follow-up with an offer for more when the water bottle was empty. WE were not asked if we wanted tea or coffee for dessert or afterwards, and we were not asked if we wanted cognac or anything else after the meal. The waiter was correct, but silent, and we did not observe a single smile or attempt at small talk throughout the evening.

We had dinner last night in this wonderful restaurant, two tasting menus Spacer Ulicą Mariacką.
The courtesy of the waiter, the perfect timing of the service, the wines chosen by the sommelier, the location, the reserved table in front of the walk on the Motławą won us over immediately, the extraordinary surprise was the explosion of the flavors of the dishes that told us a beautiful story from the amouse buche to the desserts.
The kindness was even more appreciated when they gave my partner the opportunity to replace the tartare with a non-meat dish.
Dinner is worth the visit in the city, we will definitely return and recommend to friends and family

Gdansk had more than its fair share of good restaurants, but we saved one of the best for our last night. The Mercato Gdansk exceeded expectations. Located in the Hilton Hotel Gdansk, this restaurant delivered amazingly tasty food, great service and a romantic atmosphere. Although our wonderful dining experience was a bit pricey for Poland, the adage that one gets what one pays for definitely held true. The evening at Mercato Gdansk was superb.

We had a crayfish soup and mushroom dumplings, then turbot and beef steak. Everything was looking great and tasted even better. Honestly I've never had better steak, it was two levels above what I had anywhere else. Thanks Mikołaj for great service!

Mercato keeps constantly very high level of food offer. Plate presentation as well as taste and creativity of a Chef was and is a guarantee of satisfaction. This time I ate fantastic sweet and sour herring as a starter, followed by superb halibut. So we 4 out of 5 stars in my rating ? The answer is … quality of service. Young waitress who was responsible for our table needs urgent training. She listened to our conversation at the table and was commenting (without being asked) her point of view on discussed subjects.
This shouldn’t happen in any type of restaurant but for sure not in the upscale one, dreaming on a Michelin star (from food point of view well deserved !)

Today we stayed at Mercato Gdansk for dinner with our 6 year old son. We have already stopped there several times when we spend our summer holiday in Sopot and could always recommend the restaurant, were always very satisfied. Today was really another very successful evening at the Mercato. Today we were lucky to meet an incredibly nice service employee with German roots. He guided us through the menu all evening in German, which was really great for our little son and so we did not have to translate. The service was really top class and the complete menu (“long street”) once again left nothing to be desired. Thanks for such a nice evening at your restaurant - we will definitely come back!

After restaurants were reopened we decided to visit Mercato again.
The Garden Bistro and Mercato presented a great level and delicious food.
After delicious lunch, we wanted to try more from the menu and we came back for a dinner, on the same day. The dinner was even tastier.
The service was very helpful and friendly.
I can truly recommend Mercato and its new Chef Dominik Karpik.

We had the 7 set course, and the premium wine pairing. 3 of the dishes did not come with any wine, and the wine glasses were really small. We were not offered any water, and really long time between the dishes. A lot of people at work, not many guests, and the service was ok. Really disspointed at the price vs what we actually got. We had really looked forward to this food experience, and it was really a let down.
