Restauracja Kubicki

After a long visit to the Museum of the Second World War, the walk can end beside the Motława River at 5 Wartka Street. Kubicki describes itself as Gdańsk’s oldest restaurant and connects its story with the former Café International, a popular night café in the interwar period. The dining room keeps a classic atmosphere and, according to the restaurant, piano music accompanies some evenings. It is a few minutes on foot from the museum and lets you continue towards the historic centre and the old harbour crane.

The menu focuses on Polish cooking and dishes linked to the region: Baltic herring, duck, meat, creamy Kashubian crayfish soup and a selection of Gdańsk dumplings. Recent comments praise presentation, attentive staff and food quality, though the bill can rise and views on value are mixed. This is a sit-down restaurant with table service and an emphasis on traditional recipes, rather than a quick or necessarily inexpensive option for visitors leaving the museum short on time.

The restaurant lists daily opening from 12:00 to 23:00 and publishes a menu and reservation contact. From the museum entrance, the route towards Wartka follows the Motława; the riverfront then leads to Długie Pobrzeże and the medieval crane. Those wanting a more casual meal centred on dumplings can walk towards Pierogarnia Mandu, near the main station; Kubicki is a better fit for Polish sit-down cooking, historic atmosphere and an afternoon that continues by the water.
