Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor

Dinner comes with a serious view. At Treinta y Tres, you get a three-course Spanish meal, one glass of Cava, and broad views across Gdańsk, Sopot, Gdynia, and Gdańsk Bay from 140 meters up. The restaurant sits on the 33rd floor of Olivia Star, the tallest skyscraper in Northern Poland, and its Bib Gourmand award gives the meal more weight than a standard tourist dinner.

I especially like the chance to sample Spanish cooking in an elegant but relaxed setting, and I like that the menu covers several parts of Spain rather than presenting one narrow regional style. The main drawback is the arrival process. Directions to the building and restaurant reception can be confusing, and the first welcome at the desk has not always felt as warm as the service at the table.

Key points to know before booking

• Dinner with a skyline: Treinta y Tres sits 140 meters above the ground, with views across the entire TriCity and Gdańsk Bay.
• A three-course Spanish menu: Your package includes an appetizer, main course, dessert, and one glass of Spanish Cava.
• A serious culinary name: The restaurant is associated with Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri, chefs who have earned seven Michelin stars over their careers.
• A top-floor arrival: You go by elevator to the 32nd floor, then continue to the 33rd floor by stairs or elevator.
• Good value for a special meal: At $81 per person, the price covers the food, Cava, and panoramic setting, but not the extensive drinks list.
• Useful flexibility: You can cancel up to 24 hours before the experience for a full refund and reserve without paying immediately.

Treinta y Tres puts Spanish cooking above the TriCity

The setting is the first thing you notice. Treinta y Tres occupies the top floor of Olivia Star, and the restaurant’s height changes the whole feel of dinner. Gdańsk is often experienced from street level, beside the Motława River, old brick buildings, and waterfront cranes. Here, the city becomes a wide view stretching toward Sopot, Gdynia, and the bay.

You are not simply stopping for food between sightseeing stops. This is designed as a destination meal. The 140-meter height gives you a clear reason to visit even before the plates arrive, especially if you enjoy seeing a city from above.

Treinta y Tres has received a Bib Gourmand award, which is useful context for the price. Bib Gourmand recognition is associated with good food at a reasonable value within its setting. It does not mean you are booking a full Michelin-starred tasting menu, but it does suggest that the kitchen aims higher than a routine hotel restaurant.

The culinary names connected with the restaurant also matter. Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri have collected seven Michelin stars during their careers. That background helps explain the restaurant’s focus on polished Mediterranean cooking, though you should still keep expectations in proportion: this package gives you a set three-course meal, not a long chef’s tasting menu.

What the included three-course meal actually gives you

The menu is built around three stages: an appetizer, a main course, and dessert. The exact dishes are not specified, so you should treat the meal as a Spanish-inspired set menu rather than booking for one particular dish.

The appetizer is meant to begin the trip through Spain’s regional cooking. The restaurant describes the cuisine as traditional Mediterranean, shaped by Spain’s hot climate. That points to a style where freshness, seafood, vegetables, olive oil, and carefully prepared meats may matter more than heavy sauces, although the precise plate depends on the current menu.

The main course is the part to watch most closely. One diner found the fish a little dry, while another described the food as excellent overall. That is a fair warning to keep in mind if seafood is served during your visit. The kitchen can produce attractive and flavorful plates, but a set menu always means you have less control over the main course than you would with an à la carte meal.

Dessert completes the menu and gives the meal a clear beginning, middle, and end. You should ask about the available dishes when you arrive if you have strong preferences or food restrictions. The staff asks you to report allergies during the visit, so speak up early rather than waiting for the plate to arrive.

Your package also includes one glass of Spanish Cava. That is a pleasant match for the meal and makes the $81 price easier to assess. Cava gives the experience a distinctly Spanish touch without forcing you to pay separately for the first drink.

The 140-meter view is part of the meal

The panorama is not a minor extra. It is one of the main reasons to choose this experience over a good Spanish restaurant at street level.

From Treinta y Tres, you can look across the whole TriCity area. That includes Gdańsk, Sopot, and Gdynia, with Gdańsk Bay spreading beyond them. The view gives you a useful sense of how the three cities connect, something that is harder to grasp when you are moving among individual neighborhoods.

Try to think about timing when choosing your date and starting time. The experience is valid for one day, with starting times based on availability. The information provided does not promise a particular sunset slot, so do not assume you will receive one. If the skyline is especially important to you, check the available time carefully before booking.

Weather will also affect the reward. On a clear day, the height should give you the best chance of seeing far across the TriCity. On a cloudy or hazy day, the food and interior become more important. Either way, you are paying partly for the location, so the view should be part of your decision.

Getting to the 33rd floor takes a little planning

The meeting point is the Treinta y Tres reception on the ground floor of Olivia Star. This is important because you do not simply ride to the top and find the restaurant on your own.

After arrival, you are taken by elevator to the 32nd floor. From there, you continue to the 33rd floor by stairs or elevator. The separate entrance helps you skip the main line, but the route can still feel less obvious than expected.

Allow extra time to find the building and reception. One diner found the directions difficult, and that is the most practical warning in the whole experience. If you arrive at Olivia Star unsure where to go, head to the ground-floor reception for Treinta y Tres rather than trying to navigate the tower independently.

English and Polish assistance is available, which helps once you reach the correct reception point. The activity is wheelchair accessible, and the final move to the 33rd floor can be made by elevator. Pets are not allowed.

Service can shape the evening

The table service has received strong praise, and that matches the kind of meal Treinta y Tres is trying to offer. Good pacing and clear attention matter when you are ordering a set menu in a high-end setting. One diner described both the food and table service as excellent, while another praised the food, presentation, and service in direct terms.

The welcome at the ground-floor desk is a separate issue. One person felt uncomfortable during the first interaction there, even though the table service afterward was good. This suggests that the arrival may feel less polished than the meal itself. I would not cancel solely for that reason, but I would arrive prepared and give yourself time to get oriented.

You should also be direct about drinks. The package includes one glass of Cava, but not signature cocktails or the wider alcohol selection. The restaurant has more than 700 wine titles and a separate collection of other alcoholic drinks, giving you plenty of ways to add to the bill.

One diner specifically noted that nobody asked whether they wanted another drink with the meal. If you want wine, a cocktail, or an additional glass of Cava, ask rather than waiting for a suggestion. This is a small point, but it matters in a dinner where the drink menu can change the final cost.

Is $81 a fair price?

At $81 per person, this is not a bargain dinner in ordinary terms. You are paying for a restaurant with a respected culinary background, a three-course Spanish menu, one glass of Cava, and access to a 140-meter-high setting with a full TriCity panorama.

The value is strongest if you already want a special evening and would otherwise pay for a memorable meal plus a separate viewpoint. The package joins those two expenses into one occasion. The view is not a ticketed attraction added on after dinner, but it is a central part of what you are buying.

The value is weaker if you mainly want a large meal or a particular Spanish dish. The menu is fixed around an appetizer, main course, and dessert, and the exact plates are not listed. You may also spend more on cocktails or wine, especially with such a large wine selection available.

I would see the $81 as a celebration or date-night price rather than a casual meal price. For a birthday, anniversary, or final evening in the TriCity, the combination of food and height makes sense. For a quick dinner, you can likely find cheaper options elsewhere.

Who will enjoy this experience most?

I would recommend Treinta y Tres to you if you value atmosphere as much as food. The high-rise setting gives the evening a sense of occasion, while the Spanish menu offers something different from the Polish dishes you are likely to eat elsewhere in Gdańsk.

It also suits people who want a relatively simple plan. The package gives you the core meal and first drink in advance, and the restaurant provides the setting. You do not need to arrange a separate viewpoint visit afterward.

Food-focused diners should book with a little more care. The restaurant’s culinary credentials are impressive, but the package does not reveal the exact menu. If you have allergies, tell the staff at the start. If you dislike fish or have strong preferences, ask what is being served before settling in.

I would be less enthusiastic for someone who wants an informal, spontaneous meal close to Gdańsk’s old center. Olivia Star is a separate destination, and the building’s reception and elevator route take some effort. The experience is best when you plan it as an evening event, not when you squeeze it between two tightly timed attractions.

Booking, cancellation, and practical details

The activity is listed at $81 per person and is valid for one day. You need to check availability for the starting time, so the date alone does not tell you exactly when dinner begins.

You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. The reserve-now, pay-later option also helps if your schedule is still moving around. That flexibility is useful in Gdańsk, where weather can affect how much you value a high viewpoint.

The host or greeter speaks English and Polish. Wheelchair access is available, and the route includes an elevator to the 32nd floor followed by stairs or an elevator to the restaurant level. Pets are not permitted.

Remember the difference between what is included and what is not. Your package covers the three-course dinner and one glass of Cava. Signature cocktails, additional wine, and the restaurant’s other alcoholic drinks cost extra.

Should you book Treinta y Tres?

Book it if you want a polished Spanish dinner with a broad city view and you are comfortable paying for the setting as well as the food. The strongest reasons are the 140-meter panorama, the Bib Gourmand recognition, the connection to chefs Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri, and the included Cava.

Go in with realistic expectations. The exact menu is not guaranteed in advance, seafood may not be perfect on every visit, the first desk interaction can be awkward, and directions to the reception need more care than they should. Arrive early, ask about allergies and the menu, and order extra drinks directly if you want them.

For a memorable evening above the TriCity, this is a good choice. For the lowest-cost Spanish meal in Gdańsk, it is not.
