Dinner with a skyline view. Treinta y Tres turns a simple night out into a Spanish food and view show, high above TriCity. I especially like the Bib Gourmand set dinner (appetizer, main, dessert) and the way the room rewards you with serious sightlines over the Gdańsk Bay.

One thing to think about first: getting oriented can take a few minutes. You’ll meet at the ground-floor reception, then ride up to the 32nd floor and finish your way to the 33rd floor, so it helps to arrive with time and clarity about where to go.

Key things to know before you go

Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor - Key things to know before you go

  • Treinta y Tres on the 33rd floor of Olivia Star, about 140 meters up
  • Spanish set menu: appetizer, main, dessert plus one glass of Spanish Cava
  • Chef leadership from Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri, both credited with major Michelin recognition
  • Skip-the-line access via a separate entrance
  • Panoramic views built for lingering, not just eating fast
  • Languages on hand: English and Polish at the meet-and-greet

Treinta y Tres on Olivia Star: Spanish dinner, sky-high Gdańsk views

Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor - Treinta y Tres on Olivia Star: Spanish dinner, sky-high Gdańsk views
If you’re the type who likes your meals with a side of perspective, this is a smart pick. Treinta y Tres sits on the 33rd floor of Olivia Star, and you feel it the moment you look out. Gdańsk Bay, the wider TriCity area, and the coastline feel unusually close when you’re that high up.

What I like most is the combo: the dinner is a complete, structured Spanish experience, and the height makes it feel like something you can’t replicate next to your hotel. It’s not just a viewpoint. It’s a viewpoint that comes while you’re eating.

The “why this matters” part

A lot of city dinners are either great food in a windowless room, or good views with generic menus. Here, you get both. And because it’s a set menu, you’re not stuck guessing what to order. You know what you’re getting: an appetizer, a main course, dessert, and a glass of Spanish Cava.

What you actually get: appetizer, main, dessert and one glass of Cava

Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor - What you actually get: appetizer, main, dessert and one glass of Cava
This experience is built around a straightforward format. You’ll be served a Spanish dinner menu with three courses: appetizer, main course, and dessert. Included with the meal is one glass of Spanish Cava.

That sounds simple, but it’s good value logic. You avoid the common trap where the “cheap” part is the menu price and the bill balloons once you start adding drinks. Here, the drink piece is already handled at least for the Cava glass.

What’s not included (so you don’t get surprised)

Signature cocktails are not included. Also, there’s no promise that the full wine catalog is part of your price. The info you’re given points to a big wine collection, but your inclusion is specifically the one glass of Cava with the set menu.

A practical tip if you care about pairings

If you want something beyond that included Cava, be ready to ask directly. Some people prefer to keep it simple and enjoy only what’s included. Others want wine help. Either way, it’s better to ask early rather than waiting and hoping someone reads your mind.

The chefs and the Bib Gourmand stamp behind the meal

Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor - The chefs and the Bib Gourmand stamp behind the meal
Treinta y Tres carries the Bib Gourmand distinction, which usually signals strong cooking without the typical luxury-food price chaos. In this case, the restaurant is described as run by true culinary masters: Paco Pérez and Antonio Arcieri.

What’s useful for you to know is not the trivia for trivia’s sake. The chef story matters because it explains the style of the menu: it’s Spanish food through a Mediterranean lens, shaped by warm-climate influence. You’re not looking at a “Spanish theme” menu with random tapas. You’re looking at a coordinated set of courses intended to feel cohesive.

When chef credentials are more than marketing

I like places where the cooking approach is consistent. Here, the set-menu structure helps with that. You won’t have to build your own itinerary at the table. The chefs do that work for you, and you just follow along.

The view from 140 meters: TriCity and Gdańsk Bay, best enjoyed slowly

Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor - The view from 140 meters: TriCity and Gdańsk Bay, best enjoyed slowly
The big selling point is the setting: panoramic views from 140 meters above the ground. This is the kind of height where the city stops being flat. You see the edges of the harbor, the shape of the water, and how the TriCity area connects.

What to look for during your meal

I’d treat the first course as your “orientation moment.” Use the time between bites to scan. Look for:

  • The coastline lines around Gdańsk Bay
  • How the TriCity areas spread out as they recede
  • The way lights and shoreline contrast in the evening

Even if you’re not a serious skyline photographer, you’ll get that wow feeling because you’re high enough to see the geography, not just buildings.

A small reality check

Height is great, but it’s still a dining room. If you want a perfect photo, you may need a quick pause to adjust where you sit or how you angle your phone. If you’re traveling with someone who gets distracted by views, this place can work well because the scenery gives everyone something to focus on.

Getting to Treinta y Tres inside Olivia Star without stress

This part is worth planning. Your meeting point is the reception of Treinta y Tres on the ground floor of the Olivia Star building. From there, you’re taken by elevator to the 32nd floor, then you take stairs or elevator to reach the 33rd floor.

That sounds easy, but in practice, buildings with split elevator routes can confuse people. I’d show up with a buffer so you’re not rushing through crowds or sprinting to find the correct lift.

Skip-the-line means you still need to find the right start

You get skip the line through a separate entrance, which is a win if the main lobby is busy. Still, skip-the-line helps only after you reach the correct meeting point. So:

  • Check the ground-floor reception area first
  • Confirm you’re in the right entry flow before you move upward

Quick note on directions

If you’re relying on your phone map, verify the building entrance you should use. Some visitors find direction details could be clearer, so give yourself time and keep an eye out for the reception area.

Service style: what’s strong, what to watch, how to get the best night

Gdańsk: Spanish Cuisine and City Views From the Top Floor - Service style: what’s strong, what to watch, how to get the best night
Service is a big part of whether a set menu feels special or just efficient. Here, the experience includes table service as part of the dining format, and many diners focus on how the meal and service feel.

At the same time, a few practical issues can show up in any restaurant at this style of setup. One is drink prompting. If you want additional drinks beyond the included Cava, don’t wait for a gentle nudge. Ask. Another is food texture consistency, which you can handle by paying attention to what you’re served and speaking up if something isn’t right.

My straightforward game plan

  • Start by telling the team about any allergies you have
  • Decide your drink approach early: included Cava only, or ask about wine options
  • If something about a dish feels off to you, flag it right away rather than powering through

Restaurants at this level usually want to fix problems quickly. You’ll get the best outcome when you speak up early.

Who this dinner fits best (and who might want a different plan)

This works best for you if you want:

  • A one-day experience in Gdańsk with a clear, set structure
  • A dining night that includes both food and a skyline view
  • A Spanish meal format where someone else handles choices for you

It may be less ideal if you want to fully control your order with lots of custom add-ons. The set menu is the point here. You’re not building a giant tapas spread from scratch.

Accessibility and restrictions in plain language

The venue is wheelchair accessible, and there’s staff support at the host/greeter level in English and Polish. Pets are not allowed, so plan for that if you’re bringing an animal companion.

Also, note the route up inside Olivia Star: elevator to 32, then stairs or elevator to 33. If you’re mobility-limited, this won’t automatically stop you, but it’s smart to be aware of that step-up route.

Value check: is $81 for a Spanish set menu actually good?

At $81 per person, you’re paying for three things that tend to cost extra separately: a high-quality Spanish meal, a defined drink inclusion (one glass of Spanish Cava), and a top-floor city-view setting around 140 meters up.

If you’ve ever tried to get a comparable view plus a full three-course dinner in a major city, you know how quickly the bill rises when you add cocktails and wine. Here, the pricing logic is clearer: the core meal is included, and the Cava glass is included too.

Where the value gets even better

  • The Bib Gourmand distinction suggests strong cooking value
  • Chef names and the restaurant’s pedigree imply serious technique, not just theme food
  • The view is not a bonus afterthought; it’s part of the experience design

Where value depends on you

If you’re planning to spend heavily on extra drinks or wine beyond the included Cava, then the final cost can climb. If you’re happy with the included drink, the price feels easier to justify.

The booking moment: what to do once you decide

The experience is valid for 1 day, and starting times depend on availability. You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund, and the setup allows reserve now and pay later to keep plans flexible.

When you book, I’d also make a note for yourself:

  • Your meeting point is the Treinta y Tres reception on the ground floor
  • You’ll go up to the 32nd floor first, then reach 33
  • You should share allergies during your visit

It’s small prep, but it prevents the most common stress: walking into the wrong place on the first try.

Should you book Treinta y Tres at Olivia Star?

Yes—if you want a Spanish dinner with the kind of view you remember for years, this is a strong choice. The set menu structure removes decision fatigue, the Cava inclusion keeps the drink math simple, and the 140-meter perspective turns dinner into an event.

I’d book it with a calm mindset about orientation. Go with a buffer, find the ground-floor reception, and be ready for the 32nd-to-33rd-floor route inside the building. And if you have allergy needs or specific drink preferences, speak up early so the night stays smooth.

If you’re searching for a fully customizable, tapas-and-cocktail-and-more kind of evening, you might feel limited by the set-menu design. But for a well-paced Spanish night with big city views, it’s a practical win.
