Restauracja Pod Łososiem

Gdańsk


Founded in 1598 and famous for its fish dishes, this is one of Gdańsk’s most highly regarded restaurants. Red leather seats, brass chandeliers and a gathering of gas lamps fill out the rather sober interior, illuminated by the speciality drink – Goldwasser. This gooey, sweet liqueur with flakes of gold was produced in its cellars from the 16th century until WWII.
