The Grand Prix Dobry Smak award is a distinction given to the best restaurateurs at each edition of the Jarmark.
During the previous edition, exhibitors prepared their dishes in two elimination rounds. They were judged by: Andrzej Polan and Sebastian Cichy, authorities in the world of gastronomy, as well as the Grand Prix Chairman, Gdańsk City Councillor Piotr Dzik, and the Vice-President of the Gdańsk International Fair, Paweł Orłowski.
The Grand Prix Dobry Smak was presented by the jury to: Azima – for pilaw, and Piwnica Rajców – for fried herring. The Grand Prix was awarded to the representative of Cuban cuisine, RC Reinaldo – for ropa vieja, or pulled beef with yellow rice.
Rivalry will also return during this edition, this time as part of the new Gdańsk Flavours Festival.
