An Elevated Dining Experience in Gdansk

Gdansk offers a variety of ways to enjoy its charming streets and waterways, but few experiences combine the city’s allure with a view as striking as dining seven floors above the Old Town. The “Dinner with a View” takes place at Nikka Restaurant, perched on the 7th floor of a building along the Motawa River, offering sweeping vistas of the skyline, including the recognizable silhouette of St. Mary’s Basilica. You truly feel like you’re on top of the world, yet comfortably seated, with panoramic windows framing the historic scenes.

What makes this experience stand out is the setting—being high above the city, you’re treated to a constantly changing view as the sun sets and the lights of Gdansk begin to sparkle. It’s an ideal spot for a romantic dinner or a special night out with friends who appreciate beauty and good food. The restaurant’s location is also quite convenient: you can meet from the Chmielna Street entrance or from the Motawa River via Sony Spichlerz, making access straightforward for most visitors.

The Menu: A Culinary Journey

The highlight of this experience is undoubtedly the top-quality Asian cuisine. The menu offers two options—one with meat and one vegetarian/fish—both designed for sharing, making the meal a communal experience. Each menu is crafted to delight the senses and showcase authentic flavors. The meat option begins with a beef tartare, followed by beef and pork broth, spring rolls with beef, sticky pork ribs glazed with ginger and soy, and a sushi surf & turf roll featuring tempura shrimp and sirloin steak.

The vegetarian/fish menu offers equally compelling dishes, starting with salmon tartare and crispy taro Umeboshi salad, alongside roasted vegetables and salmon teriyaki. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared, balancing bold flavors with delicate presentations. The set price includes still water, either Cisowianka or Perlage, and the dishes are designed for sharing, allowing you to sample a range of flavors without feeling overwhelmed.

The reviews confirm the high quality of the food, with travelers noting the “helpful staff” and “beautiful views” that enhance the meal. The set menus are a good value for the price of $80 for two people, especially considering the prime location and the quality of the cuisine.

While the dinner itself is a highlight, if your visit falls on a Friday or Saturday, you’ll find the atmosphere shifting after the meal. The 8th floor transforms into a lively club scene with music, making it a perfect way to extend your evening if you’re in the mood for dancing or just soaking in the vibrant city vibe. This dual-level layout offers a relaxed, sophisticated dining experience followed by a more energetic post-dinner scene, all in the same building.
