Widerbergs is an institution here in Lund, one that is loved and appreciated by all. Among the students this place is firstly a deli and a land mark as such as it was one of the first and few that fed us excellent nourishment for very little money. Among the general public it is a butcher shop of the highest standard where you might find anything in between heaven and earth and at reasonable prices.
Widerbergs well-deserved reputation as a deli is due its most classical baguette sandwich called, so originally I might add, a Widebergare. A medley of spreads combined in such organized and delicate ways you will be taken on a journey. A journey containing a travel pass, a travel among the smooth and creamy taste of cheese to the salty and smoky taste of cold cuts to the sugary taste of sweet canned peaches to the zingy taste of horseradish and more. The same sandwich can also be ordered only to contain cheese and that is also a highly recommended medley. I am pretty sure you won't go wrong with whatever you order from the menu but the spicy chicken or the chicken with tzatziki sauce on ciabatta bread are surly to die for even though the last one is somewhat messy to eat. Also while we still are on the subject messy but yet heavenly to eat make sure to order any of the wraps particularly the smoked salmon cream cheese, or tuna wraps or the egg/shrimp salad bagel.
As far as the butchery goes this is where these guys outshine most other supermarkets or for that matter other more specialized butcheries. As far as game meat and other more exotic cuts go you will never go wrong with Widerbergs. This is a place where you can in fact order horse filet steaks if you like to and not worry it has somehow been sneaked into the lamb or beef mincemeat! You are also welcomed to pick your meat and ask them to mince it in front of you! Do you wish to eat kangaroo or alligator well by now you can guess where you can turn to purchase such.
I am torn here in the end trying to rate Widerbergs and this is due the fact that I still love the place and the quality but I fell in love with it years ago also cause of the prices. Don't get me wrong the prices are still reasonable but I feel that they have increased the prices a little more than they needed to and this has been done because they are such a great success. I would love to give them a rating of 5 but the nostalgic me wants to deduct half a point but yelp won't allow me so it will be a 4 star rating but it is really a 4,5. read more
