Tuna Restaurant in Warsaw is a unique culinary and design project created by chef Martin Gimenez Castro and Australian designer David Racchi. Located at 2 Elektryczna Street in Warsaw, the restaurant presents a seafood-based menu that celebrates the principles of zero waste and responsible fishing. The restaurant’s speciality is a creative approach to serving fish and seafood, exposing not only their taste but also the variety of ingredients, which are sourced from trusted, sustainable sources.

The restaurant’s interior harmonises with the marine theme – it is designed to reflect the atmosphere of the ocean depths. The décor is inspired by the natural shades of water, which are combined with minimalist interior elements. The most distinctive element of the interior is the finish of the walls with 25,000 tin can lids. With this simple treatment, the space takes on an elegant and unique character. Medusa Group and David Racchi are jointly responsible for the design concept. Our collaboration expresses a passion for high-quality culinary experiences and modern design, which gives the restaurant a unique character and atmosphere that introduces guests to the underwater world of culinary travel.
