A dinner with a view always helps. In Gdańsk, this one pairs Spanish cuisine with a high-rise panorama over the TriCity and the bay. I like that the meal feels intentional, not just a tourist add-on. One possible drawback: you’ll want to pay attention to how you’ll get up to the 33rd floor, since it’s not a single elevator ride.

Two things I’d highlight right away: the restaurant’s Bib Gourmand pedigree and the chefs’ serious track record (Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri, with seven Michelin-star highlights across their careers). I also love that the experience includes a glass of Spanish Cava right with the menu, so you’re not forced into extra upsells to make the evening feel complete. Just be aware that directions and front-desk handling can feel a bit uneven depending on when you arrive.

Key Things to Know Before You Go

• 33rd-floor dining at Treinta y Tres, giving you wide views over the TriCity and Gdańsk Bay from 140 meters up
• A 3-course Spanish menu designed around hot-climate flavors across different regions of Spain
• A glass of Spanish Cava included with your meal
• The restaurant is run by chefs Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri (seven Michelin-star highlights during their careers)
• You’ll use a separate entrance for faster entry, then go up via elevator and a short stairs/elevator step to reach floor 33
• Let them know about allergies during your visit, since the menu is the core of the experience

Olivia Star Tower: Getting Up to the Views Without Making It a Headache

This experience lives in Olivia Star, the top-floor Spanish dinner spot in Northern Poland. The big draw isn’t subtle: you’re eating on the 33rd floor at about 140 meters in the air, looking out over the whole TriCity area and the Gdańsk Bay.

Here’s the practical setup I’d plan around. After you arrive and check in at Treinta y Tres reception on the ground floor, you’ll take an elevator to the 32nd floor. Then you’ll either use stairs or take another elevator to reach 33rd floor. That one extra step matters if you’re rushing, carrying a jacket bag, or traveling with mobility constraints. It’s also worth keeping in mind if you’re sensitive to stairs—while the venue is wheelchair accessible, the route includes that change.

The good news is that you’re not left wandering around. You get skip-the-line access via a separate entrance, and the staff greets in English and Polish. So once you’re pointed the right direction, it should feel smooth.

Timing matters here, too. At this height, windows and light change fast—so when you book, think about arriving early enough to settle, take in the view, and not start your meal feeling rushed. If you’re the type who likes photos, this is one of those times where “right before dinner” is often better than “right after.”

Treinta y Tres and the Bib Gourmand Factor

Treinta y Tres is a Spanish restaurant with Bib Gourmand recognition. That’s a helpful clue for you. Bib Gourmand-style dining usually means: strong cooking, good sourcing, and a sense of value—without turning the whole night into an endless tasting-ceremony marathon.

The chef story is also part of the appeal. The restaurant is run by culinary masters Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri. Their careers include seven Michelin Stars highlights overall. Even if you’re not chasing fine-dining labels, that kind of track record tends to show up in the basics: balance of flavors, careful seasoning, and consistency across courses.

What I like most is that this isn’t “Spanish food in a general way.” The menu is meant to take you through different regions of Spain, while also reflecting the influence of Spain’s hot climate and Mediterranean-style cooking. You’re paying for more than plates—you’re paying for the way the meal is structured and the way flavors build from course to course.

What the 3-Course Menu Actually Means for Your Evening

This is a one-day activity built around one core thing: a Spanish dinner menu with three parts—appetizer, main course, and dessert—served at Treinta y Tres on the 33rd floor. On top of that, your package includes one glass of Spanish Cava.

Because the course structure is fixed, your best strategy as a diner is simple: treat this like a focused meal, not a snack-and-choose situation. You’ll likely want to arrive hungry enough to enjoy the full progression. If you eat an early heavy lunch and then come up late, you might end up thinking the portions are smaller than you want—even if the cooking is excellent.

Also note what’s included and what’s not. Your price covers the menu and the Cava, but it does not include signature cocktails. It also doesn’t bundle the bar’s drink lineup (even if there’s a big wine collection). In practice, that can be good value if you’re the “one drink, good food” type. If you’re planning on leaning hard into wine or cocktails, you’ll want to budget extra.

Allergy info matters here. The experience is menu-based, so if you have allergies, tell them during your visit. Don’t wait until you’re already seated.

Spanish Cava and the Drinks Reality Check

The package includes Spanish Cava—one glass. That’s a smart inclusion because Cava is tied to the Spanish dining culture. It also sets a tone for the meal right from the start.

What you should know: this doesn’t lock you into a full drink experience. There’s no extra cocktail included, and the venue highlights an extensive list of wines and other alcohols—but those are on you. So the evening can be either:

• “easy and contained” (menu + Cava, keep it simple), or
• “longer and more expensive” (pairing choices beyond the included glass).

I’d recommend deciding which version you want before you arrive. If you’re aiming to keep the night affordable and calm, stop at the included Cava and enjoy the view. If you love wine, go in with a clear budget for anything beyond that one glass.

One more small service note to factor in: some diners have felt the staff at the desk didn’t fully set expectations or ask about drinks early enough. That doesn’t mean the whole meal will be like that, but it’s a good reminder to speak up if you want something specific.

The View: TriCity and the Gdańsk Bay From 140 Meters Up

Let’s talk about the moment that makes this worth doing at all. This restaurant sits 140 meters above the ground, on the 33rd floor, looking out over the TriCity and Gdańsk Bay. The view isn’t just “nice.” It’s the main ingredient in the atmosphere.

For planning, this is the kind of place where the lighting can shift between courses. In early evening, you’ll often catch a mix of building lights and sky glow. Later on, the city tends to turn into a more dramatic pattern—especially around the water and coastline directions.

What you’ll likely do without thinking is follow the plate pacing with your eyes: one course lands, you look up, you notice another angle of the city, then you come back to the food. That rhythm is part of the fun.

If you’re coming with someone who cares more about scenery than cooking details, this is still a solid pick. The meal gives you enough structure and quality to justify the ticket, but the view is what sells the experience.

Service Levels: Where It Shines and Where You Should Stay Alert

Most of the value here is the total package: great chefs, a Bib Gourmand-validated restaurant, a structured Spanish menu, and the big-city view. On service, the stronger signals I’d carry into your expectations are table support and overall attentiveness.

Still, there are weak points to keep in mind. Some guests have said the first person at the desk made them feel uncomfortable. Others have noted they weren’t asked if they wanted to order something to drink along with the meal. That suggests the welcome experience may not always match the smoothness of the dining room service.

So here’s my practical advice:

• Be friendly but direct when you arrive. Ask where to go and confirm you’re headed to Treinta y Tres on floor 33.
• If you want another drink after the included Cava, make sure the server knows early.
• If you have allergies, bring it up right away so nobody is guessing later.

This is the kind of place where small communication fixes can protect your mood. The food and the view can carry you, but you’ll enjoy it more if expectations are clear at the start.

Price and Value: Is $81 Worth It?

At $81 per person for a one-day experience, the question is simple: are you buying a dinner with good food, or buying a view with a basic meal?

From what you’re actually getting, it’s closer to the former. Your ticket includes a three-course Spanish dinner plus a glass of Spanish Cava and the panoramic 33rd-floor views. That combination is the real value: you’re paying for a full evening, not just one course.

What helps the value picture is the Bib Gourmand context. Bib Gourmand tends to price experiences where the cooking matters. And with chefs Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri involved, you should expect technique and flavor balance rather than generic “Spanish theme dinner” plating.

The biggest value risk for you is if you’re the type who wants to order lots of extra drinks or expensive add-ons. The package doesn’t include signature cocktails, and the big wine list isn’t included. If you expand the bill, the $81 can become only part of the real cost.

Still, for a set menu + included drink + a true skyline view, this is a reasonable splurge in Gdańsk—especially if you pick a time when the scenery will be at its best.

Who This Experience Fits Best (and Who Might Feel Underwhelmed)

This works best for you if you:

• want a special dinner in Gdańsk without booking a complicated multi-stop evening
• care about Spanish food done with real credentials (not just flavors you recognize)
• enjoy skyline views and want a restaurant where that view is part of the meal, not a side attraction
• like set menus that keep the night simple

It might not be ideal if you:

• dislike fixed menus and prefer a lot of ordering flexibility
• expect a huge drinks program included in the ticket price
• are extremely sensitive to first-moment service friction (like a less welcoming desk experience)

Also, this isn’t a place for pets, and it’s a one-restaurant experience. So it’s designed for a calm, adult-feeling dinner rather than a long wandering “day plan.”

Practical Tips for a Smooth Evening at Treinta y Tres

A few things will make your visit easier and more enjoyable.

First, meet at the right spot. You’ll check in at the reception of Treinta y Tres on the ground floor of Olivia Star. Don’t be surprised if the elevator doesn’t take you directly to 33. Plan for the elevator to 32nd, then a short move (stairs or another elevator) to reach floor 33.

Second, think about what you’re wearing and bringing. There’s no data about dress code, but when you’re paying for a view-and-dinner night, you’ll probably feel better in smart casual than in gym clothes. Bring a light layer if it’s cool outside; restaurant temperatures can be more stable but buildings can swing with weather.

Third, communicate early about allergies. The menu is the core experience, so you want the team set up for you before the kitchen and table timing get busy.

Finally, if directions in the first moments feel confusing, don’t panic. Confirm you’re going to Treinta y Tres and ask where to wait for the elevator route to reach 33rd floor. That one question can save you a lot of standing around.

Should You Book This Spanish Dinner With City Views?

I’d book this if you want one strong evening plan in Gdańsk that combines serious Spanish cooking with a real skyline payoff. The included three courses, included Spanish Cava, and the 33rd-floor TriCity and bay view make it feel like a complete experience for the money.

I would hesitate only if you’re very particular about service details from the moment you arrive, or if you want a highly flexible ordering style. The fixed menu is part of the bargain, and the drinks program beyond Cava isn’t included.

If you’re looking for an evening that feels special without turning your day into logistics, this is a solid pick.
