I was actually on my way to a different nearby coffee shop. The seating area had a classy ambiance and was well-decorated. The Latte was one of the best I had during my Gothenburg visit. I was also so impressed with the Pain au Chocolat. It was flaky and soft on the inside with a subtle creamy component on the inside. I brought my laptop here too; it was a very comfortable place to get work done as it wasn't too loud. Great cafe; come by for a fika!

Andrum is a centrally-located, 100% vegetarian restaurant in downtown Gothenburg. It's small but…read morehouses an equally as intimate and quiet atmosphere, if you come at the proper time. Come during the lunch rush, however, and it will likely be packed. Diners can choose from various entries or eat from the buffet, which (as I've been told) is relatively the same from day-to-day. What the actual foods are is a bit unclear if you don't speak Swedish, but nothing I had was bad. And everything in the restaurant is clearly labeled as to whether or not it's vegan, which is a huge plus. The pricing is acceptable (79 SEK, or $12, for the buffet) for Swedish standards. It's not a place I'd frequent on a regular basis, but it's worth going back to more than once. My meal was unique, tasty, and filling.

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!!

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!

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!

Arrived around 1:30 and there were a couple of parties waiting on the steps for a table. The greeter asked me if I wanted a drink while I waited-Tried the draft beer (local Pilsner-can't remember the name) and it was excellent. About 20 minutes later a spot opened up at the bar. I wanted to try the soup but the portion is enough as a meal alone so I asked if I could have a 1/2 portion. One of the servers offered a shot of the soup instead and I happily accepted. It was delightful-creamy, rich, salty with a variety of seafood. A full serving would have definitely been enough for lunch. For lunch, decided to go with the warm Shrimp Sandwich Gratin (the guy on my right really enjoyed it). The shrimp mixture is really creamy with mayo & heavy and would definitely go with the warm vs cold and the Au Gratin potato was excellent! It was entertaining watching the guys prep the dishes while sitting at the bar. Cutting up lobsters, preparing seafood towers and creative desserts, these guys are culinary artists! I ended up having a great conversation with one of the gentlemen behind the counter who I found out is the owner. Great vibe, excellent food and service and worth the minor wait. Oh and the guy sitting to my left was raving about his Poached Halibut-hmm next time.
