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?
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
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
Limhamns Fiskrökeri
Fine diningIn the old fisherman village Limhamn, now a part of Malmö you’ll find the best of everything Öresund can offer. Grab lunch or dinner and check out the old houses called, ‘fiskehoddor’ in the harbour. Strandgatan 17B
Bastard
Fine diningA reason to travel to Malm of its own. Great atmosphere every day of the week (except Sundays and Mondays, when its closed). Make a reservation, or come early and get a seat by the bar overlooking the open kitchen. Save some room for dessert, it’s always delicious. Mäster Johansgatan 11
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
Bosniska Cevapi
Fast foodThis is a dream come true, served just like in the Balkans! The distance doesn’t matter, people from all over town travel to Nydala just to get a taste of this. Our tip, ask for extra kajmak, it’s the best! Eriksfältsgatan 72
Nguyen’s Sandwiches
Fast foodIs there anything better than a freshly baked baguette? Probably the Bánh mì, a fresh Vietnamese sandwich served at Nguyen’s Sandwiches. This place will make you think you are in Hanoi. Round it off with some Vietnamese coffee, tea or ice-coffee. Engelbrektsgatan 19
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
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
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
Di Penco
Fine diningPasta, pasta, pasta! Hearty meals with magical Italian bread! Their menu also gives you an easy choice, vegetarian or not! Roskildevägen 3
Yalla Trappan
Fast foodStart the day with a breakfast or lunch at Yalla Trappan! This co-operative women’s movement combines Middle Eastern cooking with craftsmanship. Both food and handmade gifts can be bought next to the restaurant, well worth the trip! Von Rosens väg 1
BEER? WINE? AKVAVIT?
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
