ELIKSIR Restaurant & Cocktailbar

Amazing food and amazing staff. The experience was amazing but there was a pretty noicy crowd of 14-16 people that really took some points off. Its not the restaurants fault, but i think it is convenient that the staff remind people who disturb everyone else that its not a sportsbar, its something beyond that. Other then the lack of controlling the volume, it was great.

We booked well in advance of our visit and had an excellent culinary experience, both in terms of flavor and presentation. Every dish complemented the others perfectly and tasted amazing. We chose the regular tasting menu and ordered grilled chicken with two sides for our child. The restaurant went above and beyond to make it a family-friendly experience by providing coloring sheets, paper, and puzzles to keep our child engaged. She particularly loved the interactive ice-making process and the surprise addition of popping sugar, which added an extra layer of fun to the meal. What truly impressed us was that the staff didn’t just showcase their food—they also represented Polish culture beautifully, creating a vivid and welcoming experience for foreign visitors like us. As an added gesture of hospitality, the head chef personally offered us delicious Polish chocolates, which were not even on the menu—a delightful surprise! We absolutely loved every moment of our dining experience. It wasn’t just about the incredible food, but also the thoughtful effort put into making the experience special. My personal favorites were the vegan and fish dishes. They also adjusted the menu to accommodate allergies and special dietary needs, and those customized dishes tasted even better. I’m so glad we chose this dining experience during our Gdańsk trip—it truly completed our visit. Wishing the entire team all the best!

What an outstanding experience! We were welcomed by the host and got our table. The menu had local food. There was plenty of meat and vegetarian dishes. The tastes were mind blowing. The drinks as well were delicious. The starter was bread with smalec and burnt butter. We had started and main dish. We were satisfied by the amount of food. The service was kind and knowledgeable.

One of the best experiences. If you like food, like to taste new things with a traditional touch, this is your restaurant. The service is kind and precise. They explain you all the details of the dishes (origin, process of cooking, way of eating…) Choose the Cocktail pairing menu to enjoy the dinner even more.

We visited the restaurant for our anniversary. The atmosphere was very cozy and the staff was attentive and friendly. We were very interested in hearing information about local products. The extended testing menu was very delicious. We liked the veal and sturgeon the most. We didn't taste the beef in the Tartare because of the overdone pickles/caper, but the meat was very tender. The cake was delicious, but against the rest of the dishes we were expecting something more complicated, but that's just our expectations. We also really enjoyed the interactive puzzle and sorbet making with us. Mr. Bartosz was very polite and attentive to us and the details. The cocktail pairing was varied and amazing. We enjoyed it very much. Also Mr. Maciej (sorry if I didn't specify the name correctly) was very enthusiastic about his work and with a soul told us about each cocktail. We will definitely come here again!

Went here the first night of our trip, the restaurant has a huge focus on cocktails. My partner ordered the alcoholic pairing and I ordered the non alcoholic. The tasting menu was very filling and goes very well with the alcoholic pairing. 10/10 I, however, find the non alcoholic pairing a bit too sour(?), it tastes good as an apple juice, but most flavours (smoky, fruity etc) in the cocktail were overpowered by the sourness of the 0% alcohol white wines. I would recommend this restaurant to look at/ try the non alcoholic pairing cocktail of Fat Duck, where they mostly serve tea based mocktails. Service was very good. Overall, a very enjoyable meal. Ginki!

Couldn't ask for more attentive staff, we did the cocktail tasting and it was amazing. They have some geniuses working there. The flavours were excellent and you didn't feel bunged down with sugar. The time and effort made to create and explain the cocktails and to match the cocktails to a meal on the menu, is nothing less than awe inducing. Beautifully presented inside also with a nice relaxed feel. Highly recommend

Update 29Mar 24. Great cocktail and tasting menu pairing. The interactive surprise was a welcome addition and service and greeting was like old friends meeting again. Extensive knowledge of food and cocktails from waiting staff and bar staff. Still a very special place to spend an evening Not busy but that lead to some very attentive and excellent service. The food was innovative and well executed. Short way outside of the city centre but with going a bit out the way for some elevated food and drinks.

I've eaten around the globe but this place not only gave me a great experience, craft drinks created by mixologists with a very keen pallet, but the food was beyond exceptional. The meat was cooked to the perfect temperature and both cuts came out at the same time and were ready to eat. The sides were timed perfectly so they were the ideal consistency and the seasoning was something I wish I could duplicate! If you want to impress a business colleague, a date, or just like hanging with some cool people you MUST find time for Eliksir when in Gdansk. Also, they have a scotch menu and Cuban cigars that you can smoke in the private cigar lounge. 5 out of 5!
