On the first floor there's a quite big restaurant with good food - priced very reasonably compared to the other rather top-end prices. We ate shrimp open sandwiches and build-your-own burger - the latter cost 129 SEK incl. free sparkling water, coffe and cake. All of it was good quality, but not great gastronomy. It was perfect for us - four adults and four children - because the childrens burgers only costed 10 SEK for each year, they were old. Great offer. Top tip: you can walk into the huge old ceramics ovens - it's a special treat!

Review #870 2025-042…read more City Gross Sverige is a family-owned supermarket, operating since 1993 at competitive prices with fresh Swedish meat that's cut & packed in-house, fish & seafood from sustainable sources, & fresh baked pastries & breads from internal bakery (depending on baking times... you can smell the delish baking scents wafting in the market). We typically stop here after shopping at Handelsplats Höganäs Outlet just down the road. Every time I'm back in Sweden, my husband says I'm like a kid in the candy store at the market, shaking his head & rolling his eyes, & telling me that I'm excited over a Ralphs (supermarket brand in the U.S.). Yes, it's essentially the same... meat, seafood, produce, dairy, cereals, snacks, sodas, etc., but the brands are different & tastes different too. I'm not a fan of yogurt at home, but I love the pourable yogurt, Arla Yogurt Jordgubb (strawberry), over a bowl of mixed berry muesli. I love fresh baked breads at prices equivalent to the preserved bagged breads, spread a little Becel butter or add some ham & cheese, & it's a simple delish breakfast! What's common is the amount of candy that's available in Sweden, including in the supermarkets... there's a large bulk candy section in addition to another area of boxed & bagged candies near the registers. My favs are the sweet & sours belts, & sweet peach gummies, my husband's is the licorices, & my kids just love all the sweets! LOL I hit the jackpot on our recent visit... a fresh, sweet basket of strawberries & its quality is in-line with Harry's Berries at 1/3 of the price. Wowza!! There was a Skånsk Spettkaka (aka "cake on a spit") at the bakery that looked interesting; it's the Swedish version of the European-style spit cake & similar to a meringue. It's frequently served with coffee, vanilla ice cream, &/or port wine. And a hacksaw blade is used to saw the dessert into serving-sized pieces because it crumbles/shatters if a regular knife is used. The aisles are spacious & well-stocked. Staff seem friendly enough. At check-out, there's 2 conveyor belts with a divider to split the customers' purchases; the cashier places the divider to allocate your items before ringing up the groceries, & you bag your items. If you're still not done, the divider will push the next customer's groceries to the other side & s/he will load their groceries opposite from you... a sort of efficient way to handle more customers quickly, but also dependent upon how fast one bags the groceries, which is fairly fast since this is common practice here. They used to require a coin to "borrow" the shopping cart (at least they did in my previous trip in 2019), but have done away with that, yet I still see customers diligently returning the carts to the designated housing areas. I know, I know... it's just a grocery store except it's in Sweden, but I love the experience & good food available at City Gross Sverige!
