I had the Hake special with melted butter and topped with shaved horseradish and little shrimps. It also came with the typical, and delicious, swedish potatoes. It was all very, very fresh and expertly prepared. My wife had the salmon with dill mustard and dill cream potatoes with a small salad of greens on the middle. This is a very typical swedish dish and the freshness was, again, very apparent. For dessert I had the creme brûlée and the wife had the dark chocolate cake with a raspberry compote. We were both scraping our plates for the final morsels. The staff was extremely nice and helpful (we don't speak swedish... Yet). This is a surprisingly fantastic find on this beautiful, peaceful island. Get the Gothenburg city card for free public transit (such as the ferry to the island) while visiting.

But it is best known as where you park your car and catch the ferry to the car-free islands where people have their summer homes or rent one. There's a trolley to Saltholmen. Don't forget: it stays light very late in the summer in Sweden. Salthomen was beautiful at 9:30 pm (21:30 for Europeans) as the sun slowly set.

The best "beach" in Gothenburg! You'll find ferries to take you to the island (via your västtrafik…read moreticket) and to the west are some small areas you can sit by the ocean. It's not a typical beach with sand, but there are rocks and ladders you can use to jump from and climb out. There is a huge parking lot but in high season expect to come early to snag a spot, else you'll have to find street parking a few kilometers away. There's only a few restaurants and some are only open during the summer season, so plan accordingly!

Nice upscale restaurant serving local fresh seafood…read more Offers coat check upon arrival. Walking distance to most of the downtown hotels. Started with some entrees for apps - cod balls and mussels. Cod balls were meaty and tasty. The mussels were in a light white sauce. For my main, went with the buffet of seafood. The great part of this is that they bring you refills. Smoked shrimp, shrimp, crab claws and langostines (think giant crawfish or baby lobster). I didn't care for the smoked shrimp (too Smokey for me) and the regular shrimp were a little on the small side for the effort of taking off the shell. The langostine tails were full of flavor, claws were hard to get at. Highlight of the meal was the local crab claws. Reminded me of stone crab, but not a sweet. For dinner had the creams brûlée with rum and violet ice cream instead of the sorbet. The rum vanilla was tasty, the violet was too strong for me. Great restaurant, great service, will return on my next trip.

I for one didn't know what I was walking myself into when we were invited here and am so glad my…read morehost did. The atmosphere is undoubtedly with its cozy Swedish design charms: sophisticated, delicate details, modern, and old world. I don't know how else to describe it. The host graciously ordered for us and recommended the blini with löj caviar as the starter. It's a perfect bite of creaminess (from blini) and crispness of the löj caviar mixed with the sour cream, chives, shallots, and dill. Next came the seafood platter with lobsters, crawfishes, mussels, and Swedish shrimps. Everything on the plate were cooked simple and the way it is suppose to taste, fresh and sweet. For the main course turbot with fresh beets and soft poached egg over fresh wasabi roots were divine (as if I had any more stomach space)!! The turbot was surprisingly thick and meaty, fresh beets had an unforgettable crisp clean finish, and when I was expecting the running yolk of a poach egg to spread into the wasabi root, the yolk instead was creamy soft that together with the fresh wasabi roots were perfectly harmonized. Just when I thought the meal was over, came more Swedish (and European) hospitality to finish the meal with cheese plate, coffee or tea. I wish I knew more about cheese to tell you the experience. The meal was so wonderful that I have to write about it; however, before I end, I must tell you about the drinking culture too :) The evening started with a glass of Champagne and another. With the starter, we toasted to glass of schnapps with the blini and löj caviar. Move to a bottle of Bourgogne Chardonnay (oaky flavor...tres interesting) since we were eating the turbot. Later came 3 more glasses of wine to pair with cheese plate, and we finished with Berta grappa and tea but not before bottomless Champagne throughout the meal. Toast to the host , this was an unforgettable meal!!

The staff was so nice and fun, the food was great, fresh and delicious. We stayed at this place for hours just enjoying the view and the food and people.

Recommended by a friend who studied in Gothenburg as one of the best burgers he's ever had (and…read morewe're American). Will say that I agree with him. The burgers come with an optional schnapps which we didn't end up trying, but they're tailored to each burger. Played American music and had the rustic wooden farmhouse vibe. I loved how the menus looked like newspapers. Will definitely recommend to others.

I come to find walking in to the Barn is not the norm as tables are in high demand. I definitely can see why. With this food, ambiance and beverages, who wouldn't want to eat here.

We were looking for good Swedish cuisine, and after reading reviews, we settled on this place, and boy, what a great decision. The outside tables were full, so we got a table inside, which was fine as it was a bit chilly that evening. We were greeted and brought to a table and given menus. We ordered wine, a both red and white for the table, we ordered the charcuterie plate, as well as Swedish Meatballs. Our friendly server brought the wine, the red was perfect (I love how they let you taste it first here), and then this huge plate of charcuterie! The wine paired perfectly with it, so good. My meatballs arrived and first, the plate was a work of art, and they were spectacular! Everybody else's meals were also spectacular, especially the fish soup- Incredible! We had a great time, the staff were friendly, and the restaurant itself was like a work of art. I wnet back a couple of days later and had meatballs again, but this time I sat outside and enjoyed the atmosphere. I will be coming back again before I leave.

We came in with no rsvp and were unable to get a table (I recommend you rsvp!) but the staff was super accommodating and gave us two seats at the bar, which almost made the experience better! We had plenty of service at the bar and it was quiet enough to talk normally. My fiancé and I got the artichoke soup with bacon and croutons appetizer with a side of what I'd call "Texas Toast" which was amazing. I ordered the Schnitzel (I'm a Schnitzel fiend) because someone else on Yelp recommended and I second that recommendation! I've been all over Germany and tested the original stuff but Tildas Schnitzel rivals the best I've had! my fiancé got the fish bake (Gratäng) and loved it! The drinks were good as well! Overall, this place and incredible and can't be recommended enough!
