Seafood restaurants abound in Gothenburg, so it's difficult to make a choice! However, after…read morereading reviews and speaking to the locals, I settled on this place for dinner one night- and I am so glad I did! It was a bit of a trek from my hotel, but an enjoyable walk nonetheless. Upon arriving, the place was busy, but we managed to snag a table outside. Although the inside looked very cozy, I was happy to sit out in the cool evening air. We were given menus, and our server told us the specials. We ordered beers for now, but planned on ordering wine with dinner. Asking the server for his recommendations, we decided to share the Garlic Gratinated Langoustines. For mains, I ordered the Fish au Gratin, as he said they were known for the dish, and my dining partner ordered the Catch of the Day, Cod Loin. We received our beers and then ordered a nice bottle of white to be served with dinner. They brought the langoustines, and they were absolutely incredible! Fresh and large, and tasty! We were also brought some yummy bread and butter. Our mains arrived and boy, was he right- the Fish au Gratin was absolutely delicious, the sauce creamy and not overwhelming the fish. The wine paired perfectly, and we enjoyed our dinners immensely. We ordered one dessert to share, as well as a glass of port wine. The dessert was odd; it had a cucumber taste to it, not a fan, but hey, it's nice to try new things. Overall, this was one of my favorite meals in Gothenburg, the restaurant was great as was the old town neighborhood of Haga. Highly recommended!

I think this restaurant has potential. I read some positive reviews, but my dish was off balance. I…read morethink it's an inconsistency issue because another table ordered my same dish and it looked different. Mine had an overdressed mustard vinaigrette which overpowered the fish. Also, the English menu was not correct in stating it was going to be a Bernaise sauce. There was something like it on the side. Fairly priced portions

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.

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 place is a bit of a trek from the more frequented parts of town, but I would come back to try their other offerings.

Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, exposed brick walls, and tons of plants/greenery and natural light in the back covered outdoor area. In addition to being a cafe, they serve food and beer/alcohol, as well. The Caffé Latte was made well with a creamy and warm taste. The Morotskaka was dense and could have been more moist. The cream on top definitely helped with that but made each bite way too sweet. I ended up scraping off the cream and taking a little with each bite instead. Overall, great spot for fika!

If you like more meat than "gross stuff" in your hot dog you will probably love this place. The selection is plentyful and it is hard to choose. A lot of garlic alternatives. But I will be honest and admit these hot dogs are not for me. The dogs are fried and the bread is good. There is more than just one or two mustard types, there are at least five. I cannot say I fell for the Rhum & Orange flavour though. The thins are SEK25 and the thick ones are SEK35. If you want just bread. You can have it just about any way!

Once you enter this restaurant, you'll immediately feel like being in another country (not India or…read moreany other country in Asia for that matter). The jazz playing in the background is fantastic. It was on a pay day right before Easter. I was greeted by a seemingly stressed non-Indian waiter. My table was set within 5 seconds with water, table cloth and the rest... but also a small glass filled with crayolas (???) . at first I thought my table was a children's table. I soon realised that all tables had their bunch of crayolas in glasses. While waiting, I was offered a fantastic tiny portion of ginger tomato soup with creamy coconut. I was delighted! While I was waiting for my main course, an extra spicy hizz frizz (#14 on the menu),a young woman asked "what is Ocra?" to the staff. The waiter invited her to try the soup while explaining. What a great tactic to lure in hungry customers! Having that soup to begin with, might either be a manipulation or a fair announcement of what is coming next. Anyways... I was anxiously waiting for my meal. It finally arrived 50 minutes later. It wasn't bad but nothing special either. And most of all, it didn't taste like Indian food normally does. So was it worth the waiting while slurping a spoon of soup and playing with crayolas? ABSOLUTELY NOT! The reason why this place doesn't deserve a 5 star is mainly because : - it isn't very clear about being exclusively vegetarian and vegan. As a meat lover I was fairly disappointed when realizing that no meat was on the menu. I regretted on why I ended up there. - the time I had to wait for having my meal.... Half hour is okay but a whole hour? Come on. - the size of the portion. It's quite small. A main course isn't enough to quench your hunger. You need several starters to go with it. - the non-Indian waiter's arrogance. I was treated like air, which I didn't appreciate. - the price! It's way too expensive.
