Cała Naprzód

Cała Naprzód, whose name means Full Speed Ahead, is a seafood-focused restaurant at ul. Tokarska 21-25 in Gdańsk, on the fourth floor of the Maritime Culture Centre beside the medieval Crane on the Motława River. The restaurant is reached through the Maritime Culture Centre building and is known for a terrace that looks across the water toward the Old Town skyline and the old port. The cuisine is Polish with a strong emphasis on seafood, and the menu centres on Baltic fish dishes, which reflect the maritime character of the building and the city. Typical preparations include pan-fried or baked local fish served with potatoes or seasonal vegetables, fish soups and starters based on herring, and prices are in the moderate range, with mains generally in the PLN 45-95 band. The dining room is modern, bright and open, with large windows, and the mood is casual but a little more polished than a fish bar. Dress is relaxed, with no formal code, and noise levels are moderate, rising on busy summer evenings when the terrace fills. The drinks list is expected to include Polish craft beer, wine and soft drinks, though the venue's own listing should be checked for the current menu. Because the restaurant sits above a visitor attraction, trade tends to peak at lunch and in the early evening during the tourist season from May to September. No formal reservation policy is published, but visitors wanting a terrace table at sunset, groups and those dining on weekends should try to book ahead, ideally a day or two before in summer. The location suits visitors combining a meal with a visit to the Maritime Culture Centre, the Crane or a walk along the Long Embankment, and the Old Town is a few minutes away via the ferry or the Motława footbridges. Opening hours are not confirmed in the listing and should be checked locally.
