Restauracja Półpiętro

Restauracja Półpiętro occupies the ground floor and mezzanine of a historic tenement at Targ Rybny 10C in Gdańsk. The address places it in the Old Town, a short walk from Długi Targ and the Motława, with the restaurant looking onto the historic fish market square. The two-level layout gives the venue a clear sense of place: the lower room connects with the activity of the street, while the mezzanine offers a more enclosed and quieter setting.

The restaurant serves Polish and European cuisine, with a menu shaped by the coastal location and regional traditions. Fish and seafood are prominent, alongside meat dishes, pierogi, soups, salads, vegetarian choices and desserts. The menu also includes familiar Polish preparations and Kashubian influences, making the restaurant suitable for diners interested in local cooking as well as those looking for broadly accessible European fare.

Regional character appears in dishes connected with Kashubian and old Polish cooking, while the seafood selection reflects Gdańsk's maritime setting. Traditional soups, herring, sprats, dumplings and meat dishes sit alongside fish, shellfish and lighter vegetable-based options. The kitchen prepares food on site, and the menu is arranged in sections that make it easy to choose between starters, soups, seafood, meat, pierogi, vegetarian dishes and desserts.

The atmosphere is informal and calm rather than hurried. Its position near busy parts of the Old Town gives the setting an urban backdrop, while the upper level creates a little distance from the pedestrian flow. That combination suits a relaxed meal, a family outing or a dinner focused on regional flavours. A children's section also makes the menu more practical for families.

Półpiętro works for visitors exploring Gdańsk on foot, including those making a day trip from Sopot. It can also suit diners who want a Polish meal near the waterfront without choosing a formal fine-dining setting. The mezzanine is an important part of the restaurant's character, and regular guests refer to it simply as going upstairs. The result is a venue with two dining levels, one shared culinary direction and a setting closely tied to Gdańsk's historic centre.
