At a glance
Fisherman by Rafał Koziorzemski is a restaurant at Grunwaldzka 89 in Sopot, focused on contemporary interpretations of Polish cuisine. Its cooking draws on familiar, home-style flavours while presenting them with a more refined and creative approach. Traditional references remain central, but the dishes are designed to offer an element of surprise.
The kitchen works with fresh produce sourced mainly from local suppliers, including seasonal ingredients and edible herbs gathered from the surrounding region. Ingredients are prepared from the beginning rather than relying on ready-made components, and the restaurant follows a zero-waste approach by making careful use of the products it selects. The result is a menu shaped by seasonality, regional character and close attention to preparation.
Fisherman is not positioned as a conventional fish-and-chips restaurant despite its name. The concept instead uses the figure of the fisherman as a reference to daily work, fresh deliveries and a close relationship with nature. Polish culinary traditions provide the foundation, while the presentation and combinations give the food a modern restaurant character.
The interior combines an elegant feel with a welcoming atmosphere. Its dining rooms are suited to relaxed meals as well as occasions that call for a more formal setting. The restaurant caters to tasting-menu experiences, family meals and organised gatherings, with options for celebrations, business meetings, conferences, communal meals and catering. A children’s menu is also available, making the venue relevant to family dining as well as adult-focused occasions.
Fisherman can suit diners looking for a thoughtful take on Polish food, guests interested in seasonal cooking and groups planning a private or semi-formal event. The restaurant also offers confectionery, room decoration, music arrangements and fresh-flower decoration for selected occasions. Vouchers are available as gifts, including themed dining experiences. For diners travelling around the coast, Fisherman provides a destination for a Polish meal with a more contemporary style, within easy reach of Gdynia and central Sopot.
