"Paco Pérez's tapas room, 33 floors up and a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Book the sunset window seating for a celebration with a view."
The lift opens onto a wall of glass and the whole of Gdańsk laid out below. Treinta y Tres, named for the floor it occupies in the Olivia Star tower on al. Grunwaldzka, is the relaxed Spanish half of chef Paco Pérez's presence in the city, the easygoing counterpart to his Michelin-starred Arco by Paco Pérez a few floors away. The MICHELIN Guide Poland awarded it a Bib Gourmand for tapas that deliver well above their price.
Paco Pérez holds five Michelin stars across his restaurants in Spain, and at Treinta y Tres his Catalan-Spanish playbook is translated for a counter of small plates rather than a tasting menu. The day-to-day cooking runs through resident chef Antonio Arcieri, who keeps the kitchen anchored to the classics: Ibérico ham croquetas with a molten centre, grilled octopus, a slow tortilla, and home-baked brioches that arrive warm.
Plates are built for sharing, and a table of four can graze through a dozen of them before deciding on mains. Reckon on around 150 złoty a head for food, near 40 US dollars, before the wine, where the list runs unusually deep for the region and where a celebratory bill can climb. The cooking is generous and direct rather than cerebral, which is the point of a Bib Gourmand room.
At 33 floors the panorama does much of the work, and the room is built around it with banquettes and tables angled toward the glass. The lighting is low and warm after dark, the sound level lively with a Spanish guitarist some evenings, and the spacing generous enough to talk across a table. Dress is smart-casual with no jacket rule. The window seats are the ones to ask for, and at sunset they are worth the wait.
Book this room for a birthday, an anniversary or a visiting-client dinner you want to feel like an event, because the shared-plate format keeps the table social and the panorama supplies the occasion without any effort from you. Time the reservation for dusk and the city lights do the rest. For more, see the global best Spanish restaurants worldwide and our picks for an anniversary dinner.
Not for a quiet, confidential conversation. The room runs lively and social, the guitar carries on busy nights, and the view pulls every eye to the window; for a discreet meeting choose a calmer table at street level.
Yes, for the combination of tapas and altitude. Treinta y Tres is chef-patron Paco Pérez's casual room on the 33rd floor of Olivia Star, and it holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand for cooking that punches above its price. The Ibérico ham croquetas, grilled octopus and tortilla are the orders, and the floor-to-ceiling glass turns sunset over Gdańsk into part of the meal. Go for the view and the croquetas, not for a hushed tasting menu.
Moderately hard for the sunset window. Treinta y Tres takes reservations on OpenTable and through the Olivia Star desk, and the sought-after tables are the ones against the glass around dusk, which go first on weekends. Weekday lunches and earlier seatings are easier. Book a week or two out for a Friday or Saturday sunset table, and ask specifically for a window seat when you reserve.
Smart-casual, with no jacket requirement. Treinta y Tres is a polished but relaxed room, and most guests dress up a little for the lift ride and the view, though neat denim is fine. Live Spanish guitar and the panorama set a celebratory mood rather than a formal one. Dress for a night out with photographs in mind rather than a boardroom.
Plan for around 150 złoty per person for food, roughly 40 US dollars, before wine. The format is shared tapas, so a table builds a bill from croquetas, octopus, tortilla and a few mains, and the total scales with how many plates and bottles you order. The wine list is unusually deep for the city, which is where a celebratory evening can climb.
Yes, it is one of Gdańsk's best celebration rooms. The shared-plate format, the live guitar and the 33rd-floor panorama make it a natural for a birthday or an anniversary toast, and its Michelin-starred sibling Arco by Paco Pérez sits in the same tower if you want to trade up.
