    Had to try the infamous shrimp sandwich we'd heard about lol it was pretty good! Our other dish (catch of the day with potatoes) was pretty good too :) nothing crazy out of this world, but you can't beat the view from this restaurant!!

    Decided to visit for s cocktail after a long and good day of playing tourist. Arrived Saturday night around 8 & sure enough it was busy. There was an opening at the bar-perfect! I ordered a Mojito & it was excellent! 142 SEK/$17 USD was in line given the view & venue. There was a DJ playing some tunes that matched the atmosphere nicely. Bartenders were friendly/service-minded & could tell they knew what they were doing! Great vibe & city views & spot to have a drink!

    One of the famous restaurants in Gothenburg, been open for a very long time. The restaurant is located on top of the Gothia Towers, hence the name. It offers a great view of Gothenburg, but it is really hard to appreciate in the dark. I was able to find a table on Tuesday night, but this was not easy as estuarine was full. The restaurant offers good wine list, with an excellent selection of Austrian wines. I had a glass of outstanding Sauvignon Blanc, and a very good glass of Zweigelt Rosè (wine as over-chilled). One of the most famous dishes in the restaurant is King Size Shrimp Sandwich. You get a large flat piece of bread (similar to pita), with the boiled egg in a middle, covered, really topped off with a small amount of very small shrimp. At around $32, this is one of the most affordable dishes you can get at a restaurant, and I can tell you that every table around me was having this exact dish, with for instance 8 people at the table, all eating the same exact sandwiches. The sandwich tasted okay, nothing amazing. Was there a lot of shrimp? Yes. Was there enough shrimp for $32? I guess yes. Is that a dish I want to eat again or would recommend? Absolutely not. But again, the wines were good. During summer, the view might make it worthwhile to suffer through that sandwich with a glass of nice Austrian wine in hand. During winter, when you can't enjoy the view? Not so much.

    Famous shrimp sandwich!

    I went to Heaven 23 on the recommendation of a friend who insisted I try their famous shrimp sandwich. The sandwich itself was pretty good--shrimp well-cooked and not too salty, good bread, crisp veggies, etc.--but the restaurant itself was the main attraction. Almost every table provides a fantastic view of Gothenburg from the Gothia Towers' 23rd floor, and the staff seemed more than happy to accommodate guests who lingered to enjoy the vista and take photos. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Gothenburg!

    I come to this restaurant every time I'm in Gothenburg. I love the atmosphere and the view over Liseberg Park. There's a nice vibe with friendly staff as well as a nice crowd. The food is refined and creative. I love their shrimp "sandwich" in particul

    This place is fantastic. Great view of Gothenburg and the staff here were extremely friendly. I happened to stay in the hotel here and came up to the 23rd floor and I was very happy that I made that call. The food and drink were not cheap but the atmosphere and the lookout of the city is absolutely worth of it. If you visit Gothenburg, I highly recommend this place!!!

    Great view. That, combined with the atmosphere is why you should visit this place.

    For those staying at the Gothia Tower you must at least ride the elevator and take a drink.

    5 out of 6 of us got stomach flu…read more 5 out of 6 members of our group of childhood friends simultaneously suffered from severe gastrointestinal issues following a visit to a local restaurant. A long night filled with repeated vomiting and diarrhea was followed by a week of sick leave for several of us. We all consumed the same dishes, yet none of us have fully recovered and still struggle with our appetite several days after the visit. The restaurant informed us that the oysters in one of the dishes might have been the source of the infection and that they are now considering removing them from the menu. However, this response feels insufficient given the severity of our symptoms and the fact that all of us were so severely affected. The owner, Björn, has refused to refund us for the meal that led to the illness and has instead offered gift certificates at a lower value to visit Koka or any of his other restaurants. This option is unacceptable to us; we want a full refund and have no desire to visit any of his establishments again. We have filed a complaint with the Swedish Environmental Administration and have informed the Guide Michelin about the incident. We feel it is important that the public is aware of how this restaurant conducts its business. We urge everyone reading this to spread the information further. It is important that consumers are informed and protected against similar experiences.

I especially liked the interior, tables were covered in leather, which basically told a story from every guest. Loved it!

The Elderflower Southside is such a fresh, fruity, and light drink. We were already off to a great start. Both appetizers we got were good but not too memorable; still great for sharing with your table. The main winner here was the Beef Sirloin! It was cooked to a perfect medium and had a nice char crust on the outside. They did an incredible job with preparing it and the side dishes just hit the spot. I loved the fresh tomato & onion salad and the addicting house-made French fries. I just couldn't get enough especially with the béarnaise sauce. The dessert was not your typical bread pudding; it's much lighter and softer. If you dine at Dinner22, definitely get something off their meat menu! You will be happy you did.

When I arrived at around 7 pm on Thursday, I pretty much got lucky scoring the last table left without the reservation. Decided to go with a fixed dinner menu, containing appetizer, entree, and dessert. There was also recommended wine selection, so I discussed it with the server, and he suggested that if I don't want to drink dessert wine, I would be better off just getting wine pairing for the first two dishes. Perfect. The first wine was Pinot Noir from New Zealand, and the first dish was deer Carpaccio. Both were excellent in its own right - good wine, tasty dish, the pairing worked together. Second wine poured was California Ghost Pines Chardonnay, which by the glass costs there as a whole bottle back in the USA. Okay, but then this is a mediocre wine, and while the cod was made very well, the pairing really didn't work. The dessert was advertised as chocolate ganache or so, but the actual dish had a large serving of the gelato in a middle, with tiny mounds of chocolate around. The most captive part of the dish was some chewy candy bits on top of the ice cream, in appearance resembling the salmon caviar, but an overall combination with gelato was excellent. Each chocolate mound had a piece of caramel inserted into it, which was really annoying as it was getting stuck to the teeth. So far the food was good, the wines were okay and not, but the worst part was service. Got half a glass of water poured, no pitcher left as on all other tables had to flag someone down to get more water despite sitting across from the bar where someone was constantly at. Nobody really cared if/how I liked the food etc., which, considering the food prices in Sweden was rather annoying. So we have food at 4.5, wines at 3 and service at 3. All in all, you decide if you want to eat there or not.
