What has the Pomorskie voivodship prepared for the World Food Travel Day?

Culinary tourism is one of the leading trends that attracts tourists to visit. Regional cuisine of Pomorskie is firmly rooted in its strong tradition, which is willingly used by chefs of local restaurants, who add a modern twist to the local classic recipes. Cooking and all things culinary are important areas of activity of the Pomorskie Tourist Board and the Pomorskie Prestige project, which is aimed at presenting the quality offer of the region.

The highlight of this year’s World Food Travel Day in Pomorskie is a cooking session with Marcin Popielarz, the head chef at the Biały Królik restaurant in Gdynia.
