Savor seven natural dishes perfectly paired with six original cocktails crafted on-site

An 11-course tasting experience in Gdańsk where seven dishes pair with six specially matched cocktails, all made from natural ingredients and original recipes created by the head chef and bar director. The meal takes about two hours. You can choose between the standard tasting menu or a vegetarian version, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible with guides available in English and Polish. Minimum age is 18.

The experience

Eliksir built its reputation as one of Poland's first restaurants to pair food with cocktails designed specifically for each course. The seven dishes arrive as tasting portions, each one followed by a cocktail the bar has created to complement it, not just to wash it down, but to deepen the flavors you've just tasted. The kitchen works entirely from natural ingredients and original recipes, which means the combinations you'll encounter aren't pulled from a textbook. The head chef and head of the bar work together on the matching, so every pairing reflects both perspectives.

The menu balances traditional Polish flavors with modernist technique, so you're tasting something rooted in the place but executed in a way that might surprise you. The cocktails themselves are the bar's main focus: classic drinks and inventive ones, all served in a distinctive way. Over roughly two hours, you move through the seven courses and six cocktails at a pace that lets each pairing settle before the next one arrives. You can book the standard tasting menu or choose the vegetarian version at checkout. Both follow the same pairing structure.

The restaurant sits in Gdańsk with public transportation nearby and is fully wheelchair accessible. Guides lead the experience in English or Polish, and the space suits all fitness levels. You're seated for the entire meal.

Is this one for you?Book this if you have an evening free and want to taste how flavors work together rather than simply eat a meal. The two-hour pace suits a first-time visitor to Gdańsk who wants to understand the city's food culture without committing a full night, and the vegetarian option means both omnivores and plant-based eaters can experience the same pairing concept.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English and Polish.

What's the difference between the standard tasting menu and the vegetarian option?

Both versions include seven dishes and six matched cocktails served over the same two-hour experience. The vegetarian menu replaces the meat and fish courses with plant-based dishes, while the cocktail pairings remain the same structure and quality.

How long does the entire tasting experience take?

The meal runs approximately two hours from start to finish, which includes all seven dishes, six cocktails, and the time between courses.

Is there a minimum age requirement?

Yes, the minimum age is 18 due to the alcoholic cocktails included in the pairing.

What does "tasting portions" mean? Will I leave hungry?

Tasting portions are smaller than full entrée sizes, designed so you can experience multiple courses without becoming too full to taste the later ones. The eleven courses (seven dishes plus six cocktails) are structured as a complete meal, though the pace and portion size differ from a traditional dinner.
