Or, the weather sucks outside and you don't want to get cold or wet. Having said that, the food here is average. It can get pretty crowded, especially if everyone thinks one of the above reasons. They have different cuisines with menus that change everyday. They have global, an international menu of some sort, local, typically Swedish food and salad. So, you have some choice to choose from. I like the Caesar salad here. It's often my fallback choice if I don't see anything particularly appetizing. Overall the restaurant is okay. Although you can't help get the feeling that it's too canteen-like.

I just recently found this Turkish themed restaurant and decided to try it out tonight. What a gem!…read moreI cannot believe I've missed it. This is posh compared to many others. It is located on a slope giving a terrific view of church and park. It is tastefully oriental decorated - stucco in the ceiling and walls with mosaic and wallpaper accordingly. The staff is so professional, attentive and serviceminded. The menu has a wider selection than most restaurants around. We went for the starter with 13 (!) of the chef's choices. Mostly consisting of dips like tsatsiki but vey tasty. The main course portions are HUGE so go easy on the tasteful bread if you want both starter and dessert! The only down side might be that dishes with a distinct flavors might be a little too much with such huge portions. Maybe offering meze (small plates) not only for the veggies could be an alternative. We couldn't resist having dessert even if we were full. The chocolate fondant was perfectly sized - meaning smaller - after this mastodont dinner. The pastry with cream and mascarpone is large. They are both really lovely. I can't wait to go back. They accept AMEX.

This place definately has feeling! Great athmosphere and the design, bar and view is also nice…read more They have big candle chandeliers standing in the corners and crystal chandeliers hanging at several places. Service was great and we got everything on our plates explained for us. We ordered the meze plate and four wonders if the sea and splitted them between us two for a total of 480kr. I can recommend to do that. The meze plate is good but it was mostly cold bread and sauce dishes. We were satisfied because we shared it but it would have been disappointing by it self. Overall a nice experience. Take the mussels, they were really good!

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.

I for one didn't know what I was walking myself into when we were invited here and am so glad my…read morehost did. 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!!

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.

Fantastic dinner with amazing Italian food…read more I had the steak tartare with truffles. They were generous with the truffles. Delicious. Then the pork, beautifully prepared with a rich pork flavor. Finally blackberry ice cream for dessert. Among the three of us we polished off every plate eagerly and happily. The restaurant clearly hosts locals regularly as many were recognized by face with their name and "usual table". Dogs were welcome. Additionally reservations seem like a must. We got very lucky a table was open but people after us were not as lucky.

We were in Gothenburg on a Sunday night and looking for a place to eat. Our original destination…read morewas NOBA across the street, but when we arrived we were told they stopped serving good. We wondered across the street and stumbled upon Franco Bruno, a small pizza shop with two tables outside. This was one of the best meals I have ever had and the best pizza I have ever had. The owner of the restaurant took great care of us and went above and beyond. All of the staff was extremely friendly And we were very impressed. They had only been open two weeks, but it was as if they had been making pizza for a century. I am excited to see how this business will grow because their food is second to none.

Their website says they do everything to be "gemytlig, stimmig, och ombonad" or chatty, cozy,…read morenoisy, and warm like in Italy but having their women dress in calico dresses isn't enough to play a convincing performance. The rating is so low because whole the food was good: interesting combinations done competently, the service pretty much ruined the food and left a bad aftertaste so I will never go back nor recommend this place. First of all, it is on Avenyn, a place known for people who want to meet and have a festive time and ready to pay a little more. It also draws alot of tourists as it is advertised as the parade street of the city. So when I saw the prices, well double at other "cozy, casual" Italian places in the city, I thought, "OK I am paying for hopefully good food and the ambience" Also this was our first meal out since returning home after being away a year and we do love Swedish pizza over American. When we walked in, on time, we were told we had the table until 8pm. No problem. To get in they have the receptionist table blocking and very narrow to pass to our table with staff standing in front chatting. We couldn't get past them to our table. The hostess told us, you're blocking the way for others to come in and get seated. The staff, 3 of them looked at us and continued to chat not moving. So we squeezed past and sat down. We ordered drinks and food and enjoyed talking with each other catching up on a year. The food arrived and was tasty but when we were reaching the end of our meal, our waitress never asked how our meal was or if we wanted anything else, never smiled, was quite unfriendly if you compare how they describe themselves. We did not order dessert and were sitting and talking, when a fat woman came up and told us quite rudely that she knows we were told we had to leave by 8. We looked up, she was visibly annoyed and giving off Karen vibes and judging by her flowered dress we could tell she worked there but didn't know if she was the chef or manager. We looked at our watch, it was 730pm. We said yes, we were aware and it wasn't going to be a problem. She then made it a point to come past us from 3 different directions giving us stink eye and making faces and noises as she went past. The waitress had not been seen or asked if we wanted the bill. We hadn't paid. So it is kind of hard to leave when you haven't paid. After about 20 minutes we flagged her down, asked for the bill, paid and left. Again, no smile, no thank you, no come again. I have to add that there were empty tables and no line out the door...so no need for us to be rushed out of there. I think they should change their description on their website, or do training but it really ruins a dining experience when you knowingly pay extra for ordinary food and get treated like a dirty peasant by the staff. So that's a big L, Bellora!

Awesome cozy atmosphere, fun brunch, and interesting food…read more We went here with the intent of going to the drag brunch, however were confused as to how to reserve a place for that so ended up just being seated in the brunch area- but they do have drag bingo brunch. They have a deal where you pick three dishes and that they serve small bites. We each ordered three dishes and I ordered their Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary was great! The food was hit or miss, some were great and delicious, some was a bit simple. The service was a bit slow but super friendly, and the atmosphere stared to liven up during the morning brunch crowds. Our favorite were the fried potatoes and fried mushrooms . Might be a good option if you're around for brunch!
