Motlava Restaurant — Restaurant in Gdansk

We visited this restaurant based on a recommendation from friends, and it was a pleasant experience from the start. We were greeted warmly and seated right away. We placed our full order at once, and our drinks arrived promptly.

Everything you expect from a high end restaurant (minus the pretentiousness), just without the...

Motlava is a tiny restaurant in gdansk which from the outside looks like casual restaurant, but as soon as you go in it is filled with beautiful details and wonderful furniture.

We had a thee course menu with good italian wine. The zurek here is incredible followed with ribs in a honey glaze, which was just perfectly made. The meat was of good quality and as tender as butter. Phenomenal mouth sensation. Finally the desert. A kogel mogel that rounded up this fantastic lunch. This restaurant is very recommendable and urge everybody to try. I rarely am in restaurant where every course...
