Our choices for dinner (day before reservation) were seating at 6:15 or earlier or 9:15 or later so reservations well in advance are recommended. We started with cocktails (& they had a few creations) & had a "Buried in Sand" and a "Holy Mule-" Both excellent! Our server was helpful & made some wonderful suggestions once she found out it was our first visit. All the dishes (small & large) are great for sharing. As it seemed a staple of the menu (that changes daily) as well one of their specialties we decided to start with the Bastard Planka. A nice variety of house cured ham, salami, chorizo, pate & pickles-one of the best I've ever had. Also ordered the Klemmings Oysters as our second starter. So fresh, salty & exquisite! For main we ordered the Cod & the Munka Pork (as Pork is their specialty). Cod was cooked to perfection and the Pork had a crust that took it to another level. Both dishes were amazing! We finished with the Pistachio Ice Cream and Paris -Brest. Loved them both but the Paris-Brest is a must try! My only regret is not getting here sooner. Wonderful vibe with great service! They also have a bar area (open kitchen) where you can grab a seat to try some of the entrees or just have a cocktail, beer or glass of wine if they are fully booked. Will definitely be back. Michelin rating well deserved!

A bar in the middle and mixed seating with table cloths gave it a fine dining feel. They are known for their extensive Wine and Champagne list and that definitely lived up to the billing. We ordered a bottle of Zuccardi 2021 Torrontes-light, fruity and paired perfectly with Brunch. Extensive list of Brunch selections that came out as a Seafood tower- Shrimp from Smögen, king crab, prawn salad, crayfish in garlic, seafood salad, cured fjord salmon, herring, fish pâté, smoked salmon, langoustine, cucumber and horseradish salad, eggs, bread, sauces-all so fresh and delicious! Fish and Chips were tasty and we finished with a White Chocolate Mousse. Service was friendly-that said, could've been more attentive. We did have a chance to speak with the owner and he shared how they've recently redesigned their interior. For our party of four, about $60 USD or 600 SEK per person for a Seafood Lover's Brunch. Lives up to "the city's coolest Sunday Brunch" billing!

Stylistically, this is an upscale seafood restaurant. This was also my first dining experience in…read moreSweden, so I guess this review should be taken through the prism of that fact - food is expensive, wine is very expensive - for a foodie/oenophile this is not the best news. The wine list looked okay - with a minimum price per bottle probably close to $60. Any wine can be had by the glass, with the price of the glass simply a quarter price of a bottle - don't know how big the pour is. As the result, my choice of drink was sparkling water. The restaurant offers the tasting menu with 3 dishes, but somehow I didn't feel like dessert (one of the 3 dishes), so I decided to create my own tasting menu. My first dish was seafood soup, some sort of a bisque, which was good but not necessarily a standout. For the second dish I was looking for something reasonably priced, so I ended up with the white asparagus creation, which again was okay, but rather small for the entrée dish - I guess you get what you pay for. Service was friendly but rather slow. No recommendation on this one - may be someone will make better choices.

The food continued to be exquisite and presenting creativity while showcasing locally sourced ingredients. Great to taste new items in addition to their regular/standard dishes. I can easily have the potato soup and 100 year bread for lunch any day of a week for sure! :) The service remained excellent - those three servers had individual characters which provided professional, elegant, yet warm and friendly service throughout the course. As I described in my first review, they treat you as if you were invited to their personal residence. I wasn't aware they were extremely busy that evening due to group/function booking in the other section, but they did not show any signs of that. They still allowed me to say quick hello to the executive chef in the kitchen. I'll look forward to returning again!

I came into this restaurant just looking for somewhere to have lunch. I didn't know i was going to be confronted with seafood soup and two types of beef tartare as the main entrees.

Food is mostly vegetables, although not all vegetarian. There's a definite farmer feel to the cooking. Plates are on the smaller size, ranging from 80-120sek, and they offer a chefs choice of 4(out of 6) dishes for 300sek. Even though I really liked the cooking, what Kv åkern really has succeeded with is atmosphere. The decor is simple, lightning is great, seating is cosy and there's plenty of variety from bar seats to farmer table. This place has a very welcoming feel to it, and although it was difficult to get the waitress attention, we'll be back :)

Thanks, Yelpsters, for recommending Ihsiri. We had lunch here today. After three weeks of tasty but…read morespice free Scandinavian food, it was a pleasure to break out of the spice free zone at this Thai restaurant. I don't know how Ihsiri would do in Bangkok, but it compares well with Thai restaurants in North America. We shared papaya salad and crispy tofu with cashews. Both were great. And two draft beers of course. We ate in the interior courtyard on a sunny day. It was lovely. And the service was great. Lund is a university town with enough international students that it can support restaurants from around the world. If you're in Lund and you like Thai food, don't miss Ihsiri.

The menu changes frequently based on current local ingredients, and everything has an Asian influence . I has the sweet and sticky spareribs that were tasty and plentiful.

Food **** service - This is an awkward review of such a…read morecelebrated restaurant. My whole company just left this restaurant utterly confused. How could a restaurant that deliver such playful food offer such a terrible experience? Can't say much about the food other that it's an experience, playful and curious. Beautifully laid out. The ambiance is ok. There's not a feeling of a "crowd" people clearly come here for a one-off experience. The sad part is that I leave this restaurant tainted by the terrible service. And I've lived in nyc, so my bar is high. The head server thinks he's funny. As in, he's clearly enjoying making fun of people. Everything we answered a question he had a snarky comeback. At first we thought we'd just ignore him - but seriously those comments just kept coming. Plates were cleaned while guests were still eating. Wine pairing arrived without asking clearly what we wanted. Coffee took 20 min to arrive. No one asked us if we were happy with the food. No one cared really. Here's the strangest bit of all; No explanation was given to what we were eating. As much as I can appreciate delivering a concept. Giving us a QR code to google a menu that had almost no detail about what we ate is utterly unsatisfying. Final words; go if you're interested in playful food, don't go if you want a nice evening out

It's the now common local source, farm to table, blah blah. What's different is the no menu, tasting menu--which is what intrigued us enough to try it for one of our precious few dinners while visiting Malmö. We liked the "you don't know what's next" omakase format, but we don't generally like wine pairings and did not appreciate the "no wine list--trust me" approach. When I asked for a bottle of white I had no idea whether the server would bring Gallo swill or a $1K Montrachet (it turned out to be an average Gruner Veltliner--but that wasn't revealed until the bill). And the server was clearly annoyed that we declined the pairings. The food was good but the plating-style dated. Our first course was a genuine "you would never guess what it was" surprise (that we loved). Second was an odd "soup" with an egg yolk over diced purple potatoes in an herby green broth. Next were straightforward Haddock, Venison tartar, and grilled Venison dishes that were fine, good and very-good, respectively. Dinner closed with two deserts, although the penultimate course may have been intended as a cheese course. The menu is provided via a QR code when you pay. The setting is in a rustic building lake-side in one of Malmo's many parks. Overall it was a somewhat unique experience that was appropriately priced but we wouldn't go back.
