Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor

Dinner high above Gdańsk changes your mood. I love the way Treinta y Tres pairs chef Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri style Spanish plates with a TriCity and Gdańsk Bay view from 140 meters up. One practical catch: Olivia Star takes you to the 32nd floor by elevator and then up to the 33rd with stairs or another short lift, so give yourself a little patience.

The restaurant sits on the 33rd floor of the Olivia Star skyscraper, and it has a Bib Gourmand reputation that signals value, not just fancy rooms. You get a set menu inspired by Spain’s hot climate, plus one glass of Spanish Cava.

Service is a strong point, and the fixed three-course format keeps the evening simple, with fewer decisions and more time to enjoy the view.

Key highlights to know before you go

• Treinta y Tres on the 33rd floor of Olivia Star, with panoramic TriCity and Gdańsk Bay views from 140 meters up
• Chef credits that matter: Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri, with 7 Michelin Stars across their careers
• Bib Gourmand nod, usually a good sign for food quality versus ticket price
• A simple Spanish set menu: appetizer, main, dessert, plus a glass of Spanish Cava
• Skip-the-line entry via a separate entrance, plus English and Polish support

Treinta y Tres at Olivia Star, 140 Meters Above Gdańsk

This is a dinner built around two big ideas: strong Spanish flavors and a serious height advantage. Treinta y Tres sits on the 33rd floor of Olivia Star, which is the tallest skyscraper in Northern Poland. That means the meal comes with a wide-angle setting, from the TriCity area down toward the Gdańsk Bay.

The best part is that the view is not a small afterthought. It frames your whole evening. You eat while the city stretches out below, and the height makes the shoreline and water look more dramatic than they do at street level. If you like planning your day around one standout moment, this is one.

There is also a practical reason people tend to like it: you are not stuck standing around for ages. Your meal is the focus. Once you are seated, the format is straightforward and you can just enjoy the ride upward, then the courses.

Spanish set menu for $81, and why the value makes sense

At around $81 per person, you are paying for three things at once: a Spanish three-course dinner, one glass of Spanish Cava, and the privilege of eating at restaurant height in a major skyscraper. It is not a deal if you want to build your own menu and choose everything à la carte. But for a fixed “Spain in one sitting” experience, the math is easier to accept.

Here is what you actually get as part of the price:

• An appetizer
• A main course
• Dessert
• One glass of Spanish Cava

That matters because fine dining plus a view can become expensive fast once you add drinks, especially cocktails. In this experience, the Cava is included, and you can keep the rest of your spending controlled if you want to.

Also, the restaurant does not push you to treat this like a long wine lecture. The experience is built for a relaxed evening. You taste Spanish across multiple courses, then you move on with a full feeling rather than an empty wallet.

One caution: the menu is set. That is not a problem for most people, but it is a mismatch if you have strong preferences or you dislike any single dish type. If you are picky about fish or dairy-heavy courses, think about that before you book.

Meet Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri, and what the Michelin story signals

Treinta y Tres is run by chefs Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri. Both are credited with 7 Michelin Stars across their careers, which is a heavyweight detail. The kitchen also received the Bib Gourmand award, a distinction that usually points to great food without the “pay triple for the room” effect.

What that means for you on the table is simple: you should expect skill, not just presentation. Spanish cuisine can be broad, from bright Mediterranean flavors to deeper, slower tastes. Here, the dinner is described as inspired by the hot climate of Spain, so you can look for a warm-season feel in the way courses balance and taste.

And because the dinner is broken into appetizer, main, dessert, the chefs have a chance to show range. You are not just eating one signature dish. You are tasting a sequence, which helps you understand the restaurant’s style.

Your evening flow, from reception to the best seats

The meeting point is at the reception of Treinta y Tres, on the ground floor of the Olivia Star building. When you arrive, go there first. This matters because the restaurant is on a high floor, and the building itself has multiple access points.

You also get skip-the-line service through a separate entrance. That usually translates into less waiting and fewer “where do I stand” moments. Still, expect the building routing to feel slightly different than a normal street restaurant. High-rises do not work like that.

Then the elevator part starts. You will be taken by elevator to the 32nd floor. After that, you take stairs or another short elevator up to the 33rd floor. This short stair segment is brief, but it is real. I recommend arriving with shoes you are comfortable walking in, and I suggest taking the stairs part calmly rather than rushing.

Once you reach the restaurant, the atmosphere is described as elegant yet relaxed. In practice, that means you should not overthink dress codes. This is more about enjoying the night and the food than performing formality.

The view is not just pretty, it changes how you experience dinner

From 140 meters up, the TriCity and Gdańsk Bay view is the star companion to the meal. Even if you are not a “views person,” height does something to perception. It gives you scale. It helps your brain register where you are in the region.

You can think of it as a second course. The food gives you taste. The skyline and water give you context.

At street level, Gdańsk can feel like streets, corners, and architecture. From up here, it turns into a map. You can pick up the shape of the bay, see the broader TriCity arrangement, and watch the city become a single scene. That is the kind of moment you remember later, especially if you pair it with a few photos and a slow conversation.

It also works well for special occasions. A view like this gives couples, friends, and small groups an instant reason to pause and feel like they are doing something different from a normal dinner plan.

Service and the fixed menu trade-offs you should plan for

Most of the strength people report here is food quality and table service. When everything clicks, the meal feels smooth, and you get attention that matches the setting.

At the same time, the format is fixed. That creates a trade-off:

• If you love Spanish cuisine and you are okay with whatever is on the menu that day, you will likely enjoy it.
• If you strongly dislike one course type, you have less flexibility than at a place where you order freely.

There is also one detail worth flagging. In a case that was shared, the fish course was reported as a bit dry. That does not mean it will be your experience, but it is enough that I would pay attention if you know you are sensitive to fish texture. If you have had dry fish before and it bothers you, consider going into the meal with realistic expectations and not assuming every main course will suit every palate.

Drinks are another area where the included parts matter. You get one glass of Spanish Cava. Signature cocktails are not included, and the restaurant has an enormous selection of wine titles, but those would also be additional. So if you want a particular bottle or a long cocktail list, your final bill will climb.

Logistics that actually matter inside a skyscraper

This experience is easy in one way and annoying in another.

Easy, because the meeting point is clear: Treinta y Tres reception at ground floor Olivia Star. You also get skip-the-line access via a separate entrance. That reduces friction.

Annoying, because the 33rd floor is not “just take one elevator and you are there.” You go to the 32nd floor by elevator, then you go up again with stairs or a second lift to reach the 33rd floor. If you are traveling with someone who needs extra time, or if you dislike stairs, build in patience.

Wheelchair accessibility is specifically noted, which helps. Still, since the route includes a transfer step between floors, I suggest going at a relaxed pace and letting the team know what pace you need.

Another note that helps: you should inform the restaurant about allergies during your visit. Since the menu is set, being clear up front is the best way to avoid surprises.

Finally, pets are not allowed. So if you are planning around a furry companion, you will need alternative care.

Who this works best for in Gdańsk

This is a good fit if you want a short, high-impact experience. It is a Spanish-focused dinner that combines:

• culinary craft from chefs with major Michelin credentials
• a Bib Gourmand type of value signal
• a big city view moment from 140 meters up
• a simple structure that runs like a plan rather than a free-for-all

You will especially like it if:

• you want to try Spanish cuisine without researching restaurants for days
• you like pairing food with a specific “moment” in the city
• you are traveling with someone who will appreciate the view as much as the plate

It might be less ideal if:

• you need vegetarian, vegan, or allergy-specific flexibility that is not guaranteed beyond what you communicate
• you want to order multiple rounds of drinks, since only one Cava glass is included
• you hate fixed menus and prefer choosing each course yourself

Should you book this 33rd-floor Spanish dinner in Olivia Star?

I would book it if you want a straightforward Spanish meal in Gdańsk with a genuinely memorable setting. The $81 price becomes easier to justify because the dinner is bundled with a view from 140 meters up and a glass of Spanish Cava.

I would think twice if you dislike set menus or if your comfort with a short stair transfer is limited. Also, if fish quality texture is a deal-breaker for you, you might want to ask what your main course will be and discuss allergy or preference needs before you arrive.

If you are choosing one food-and-views highlight for your day in Gdańsk, this one has strong odds of delivering, especially given how often the experience is praised for service and food quality. Pick a time when you will enjoy the light and the city below, and treat it like a planned night out, not a rushed stop.
