1911 Restaurant

Hidden behind an unassuming façade, you'll find this smart modern bistro with a team that’s eager to please and food that offers fabulous value for money. The concise menu makes sure the kitchen doesn’t overstretch but instead packs heaps of flavour into every unfussy dish, be it herring toast or fried skrei cod. Desserts are a highlight, with the kitchen’s creative streak coming through in the likes of milled cornflake ice cream.

Vinissimo Restaurant & Wine Bar

The clue’s in the name: wine takes centre stage at this simply styled and bang on-trend bar-cum-restaurant. On-sale bottles can be glimpsed around the room, while the list contains plenty of great options by the glass. The menu is filled with good value dishes which both deliver bags of flavour and show a wise restraint from the kitchen team. Instead of throwing unnecessary ingredients into the mix, they focus on a clean, balanced style of cooking.

L'Entre Villes

This beautifully elegant villa dates back to the turn of the 20th Century and sports interior décor that mixes the traditional with the contemporary, chandeliers with modern art – while its bright orangery is the most in-demand dining area come the summer. The neatly laid tables hint at the formality of the place, with dishes arriving under cloches and the smartly aproned team occasionally donning white gloves to serve. The French-inflected cooking demonstrates sound classical skill from the kitchen.

Café Xander

Housed inside a hotel but with a separate entrance and a feel all its own, this elegant restaurant is worth the short walk out from the city centre. Start with a cocktail while you study the concise à la carte, where the Polish cooking comes with a Mediterranean influence that's noticeable in the occasional pasta or risotto. Top produce is clearly a priority, with the quality of the ingredients evident across the dishes. Attractive presentation and a touch of formality in the service enhance the experience.

Fisherman by Rafał Koziorzemski

Just 300m from the beach and with a name like Fisherman, it’s no surprise that seafood is the focus of this cosy, candlelit restaurant, which also boasts an attractive terrace if you prefer to dine alfresco. Produce from trout to catfish is used in unfussy, flavoursome dishes – including a knockout paprikash – that are often adorned with sea herbs and hedgerow flowers foraged by the team. It sits within Villa Sentoza, so there’s rooms available if you want to stay the night.

Petit Paris

As its name suggests, this classic brasserie feels like it’s been flown in from France, with its framed French posters and brass railings. The menu’s Francophone base is blended with some home-grown influences, like the traditional rabbit with mustard sauce coming in a pierogi format, or zander in champagne sauce enlivened by a Żubrówka vodka vinaigrette. For dessert, look no further than crêpes Suzette flambéed in front of the guests.
