Elementor #5

The 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

Bouchon

Not 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

Jalla Jalla

Fast food

Always 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

Dubbel Dubbel

Home 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

Lilla Kafferosteriet

Fika

It’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

Lyran

So 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

Solde Kaffebar

A cozy place where even new people will feel like regulars. A spot in one of Malmö’s nicest areas, come sit for a while and just chill. Sankt Knuts Torg 16

Yalla Trappan

Fast food

Start 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

Bastard

A 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

Falafel Baghdad

Fast food

In the outskirts of the city center lies Baghdad, always packed with big families. We understand why they come here, this place is simply awesome. Take your falafel and sit down in the park next to it, there’s always something to look at. Annelundsgatan 57

Di Penco

Pasta, pasta, pasta! Hearty meals with magical Italian bread! Their menu also gives you an easy choice, vegetarian or not! Roskildevägen 3

Bars, Explore

There’s a motto at Boulebar; freedom, community and a glass of Pastis. Fun fact: boule is actually called pétanque. Drottningtorget 8

Oppoppa

Pizza 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

Here, 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
