A guide to a wonderful not so royal Swedish city
Never satisfied
Ever debated
Always engaging
Malmö is a character of its own; a visionary city with a strong will and the confidence to move forward, and go its own way.
Creative people, companies and students are thriving in the sharing is caring-culture, and in 2013 Malmö ranked fourth on Forbes list over the most innovative cities… in the world. Kind of great for a city with 300 000 inhabitants.
Malmö might be small but it shares the features of big metropolises with a vibrant urban life and a rich cultural life. It is the city of youth and diversity. 50 percent are younger than 30 and collected, there is 175 nationalities in Malmö and around 120 languages are spoken. This makes Malmö the most ethnically and culturally diverse in the nation.
FIKA? FALAFEL? RESTAURANT?
Dubbel Dubbel
Fine diningHome to Malmö’s finest dim sum and dumplings, Dubbel Dubbel boasts with a cosy backyard garden where you can sip on cocktails. It is located a stone’s throw away from Möllevångstorget. And if that’s not enough, they offer vegan options for everything on the menu. Simrishamnsgatan 14
Kaffebaren
FikaA meeting place! With it’s diversity of people, it’s like a big living room on the Möllevången square. Kaffebaren på Möllan is Malmö on 10 square meters! Claesgatan 2
Lilla Kafferosteriet
FikaIt’s easily forgotten that you’re in the city center while you sit down in the garden for a Swedish ‘fika’. Try some of the home-roasted coffee. Fun fact: Filip, owner at Lilla Kafferosteriet has written the world cup rules for coffee roasting. Baltzarsgatan 24
Solde Kaffebar
FikaFreshly made coffee from their own roasting house. A great place for a quick escape from the ruckus of city life. They have a good amount of regulars so, if you’re in the mood, try chatting one of them up. Regementsgatan 2
Bouchon
Fine diningNot the first place you’ll find just strolling around the city, Bouchon is well-hidden on the corner of the city hall. Steak frites is always on point, and if you book in advance, you have the opportunity of ordering the Canard à la presse! Andréelundsvägen 5
Västergatan
Fine diningThe four course menu is updated according to the seasons (and is also affordable!), and is served in a small and warm atmosphere. Located in the neighborhood Gamla Väster in the center of Malmö it is open Tuesday till Saturday. A must go for food lovers! It’s the best thing since sliced bread! Västergatan 16
Jalla Jalla
Fast foodAlways a candidate for the best falafel in town. Constantly a number one when it comes to falafel tests in social media. Went viral with several party videos on Facebook, worth looking up! Bergsgatan 16
Via Napoli
Fine diningThe Little Italy of Malmö, and the only members of the Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napoletani. Wood fired pizza and Italian-speaking staff makes you wonder if you’re still in Malmö. Sergels väg 11
Lyran
Fine diningSo good. Promise. Creative food from personal farmers. That’s right. Personal farmers. Located in a quite unexplored part of town, this place feels real, tastes good and looks beautiful. Simrishamnsgatan 36
Saltimporten Canteen
Fine diningMalmö’s best lunch. Maybe even the world’s best lunch? The food is just plain amazing. Grimsbygatan 24
Shamiat
Fine diningOn the main boulevard of Möllevången you’ll find Shamiat, the best Syrian fast-food in town! We would normally go for a variety of small dishes, but the classic shawarma is also worth a try. Try the hummus, it is said to be the best in the city! Bergsgatan 5
BEER? WINE? AKVAVIT?
Belle Epoque
BarsCocktails, cocktails, cocktails in a 20s retro atmosphere. Also, in the same area you’ll find lots of other bars! Södra Skolgatan 43
Oppoppa
BarsPizza slices, canned beer, natural wines and cocktails. What can go wrong? Nothing, because they also have DJ’s playing every weekend. This hidden gem is located just by Möllevångstorget and has one of the coolest beer selection. There’s a rumour some people even take their empty beer can home, they are THAT good looking. Slogan: […]
Far i hatten
BarsHere, time stands still (LITERALLY, the clock is stuck at 8pm). Come here for a game of table tennis or foosball or enjoy one of their amazingly stone oven baked pizza whilst sipping on quality beers. In the middle of Folkets park, circa Amiralsgatan 35
SKINNY DIPPING? FARMERS MARKET?
Ann-Katrin Braf Studio
Art GalleriesThe genius behind Saltimporten Canteens plates! In her combined studio and gallery Ann-Katrin creates amazing ceramic sculptures, plates, lamps and more! Västra Rönneholmsvägen 35
AB Småland
ShoppingAB Smålands LITERALLY have everything. You can get Fika and shop amazing interior at this place. In Sweden we call ́Smålänningar ́ (people who come from Småland) a bit greedy, but at this place this couldn’t be more wrong. Södra Förstadsgatan 25-27
Malmö Konsthall
ExploreThe city-run art gallery. One of the most serene and beautiful places in the city. Entrance is free! Also, it houses the great lunch restaurant Smak. S:t Johannesgatan 7
Ping Pong Gallery
Art GalleriesSince its foundation in 1996, by the mailman Gert-Olle, this gallery has always been a keen supporter of new artists from the city’s art university. In 2013 Gert-Olle quit his day job and moved to a bigger space right next to Moderna Museet. Stora Nygatan 4
