The Baltic, served with care
We cook the way we lay the table – attentive to every detail and respectful of what the sea gives us.
Fish comes first: oven-baked halibut, cod in crisp herb panko on beetroot purée, a cabbage roll filled with cod and salmon, and to start, the Elite Cafe fish soup – a tomato broth with seafood. Alongside, Polish classics done properly: breaded pork chop, honey-glazed ribs, potato pancakes with beef goulash and hand-made pierogi – duck, blueberry or potato-and-cheese.
For bigger appetites: beef steaks – US Black Angus and Polish ribeye – served with corn, fries and herb butter. Pasta, burgers, gluten-free pizza and three salads round off the menu, with more than a dozen coffees, a bar stocked with over five hundred spirits – whisky, gin, rum, Polish liqueurs – cocktails with and without alcohol, and beers from Pomeranian breweries.
In summer you'll find us in the garden; out of season, by the fireplace. We are open every day of the year – including the months when most of the Peninsula is closed.

1895
A house from 1895, older than the resort
Elite Cafe occupies one of the oldest houses in Jastarnia, built in 1895 when the village was still called Heisternest and the fishing settlement was only just becoming a resort. The building is under heritage protection: its shape and façade look as they did a century ago.
Inside, the restoration respected the original – old floorboards, a tiled stove, period furniture and lamplight that makes cake taste different from anywhere else on the Peninsula. This is a place for a long breakfast, not a quick lunch.

Finding us in Jastarnia
Ks. Sychty 97 is the main street of Jastarnia, between the railway station and the harbour. The sea beach is a 5-minute walk through the pines; Jurata is 10 minutes by bike along the bay.
Roads on the Peninsula get busy in summer – the train from Gdańsk (about 2 hours, station 400 m away) or, in season, a boat from the Tri-City (check the timetable – most sailings end in Hel) are the relaxed way to arrive.
