 Pleasant place with plenty of seafood |
Linnégatan 52 Gothenburg 413 08 Sweden +46 31 12 5211 |
12-52 is situated quite far up on Linnégatan, near Linnéplatsen. The restaurant is bright and inviting and the large terrace has a nice view of the often-crowded street. There is plenty of seafood on the menu; the starters especially being made with marine ingredients. But a selection of game is also available, including deer. The cheaper bistro menu offers a large variety of dishes. Lunch is served every weekday, as is usual in Sweden. There are two dishes, one that goes by the name of Swedish Tradition and one called Nytt o Lätt (New and Light), with fewer calories. There is also always a soup of the week. The nearest tram stop is Linnéplatsen, where lines 1 and 2 stop, but the walk from Järntorget isn't exceptionally long, and more trams stop there. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Take home the cheese |
Götabergsgatan 28 Gothenburg 41134 Sweden +46 31 20 2161 |
28+ is a gourmet restaurant and cheese shop located right in the center of town, a stone's throw from Götaplatsen. The food is expensive, but the restaurant is well known for its superior cooking. Seafood predominates, but one can order dishes like fillet of beef or duck liver. Of course, there is plenty of cheese. The name 28+ refers to the optimal storage temperature for this delicacy. The ambience is low-key and both the restaurant and shop are invitingly. Trams 4 and 5 stop at Berzeliigatan. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Dining area with mixed menu downstairs, bar upstairs |
Kungsportsavenyn 29 Gothenburg 411 36 Sweden +46 31 20 6087 |
Babar has a pleasant dining area with large windows overlooking Avenyn. The menu is mixed, with selections of vegetarian dishes, seafood and roasts. Both traditional dishes and modern ones are on offer. The dining room has a very different ambience from the bar; it has a sense of intimacy and cosiness. Upstairs, the bar sports a games area and large windows, also overlooking Avenyn. These make the bar seem larger than it actually is. Every day the bar offers a two—for—one deal on most drinks until 10pm, and on Sundays the offer is valid all night. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Gourmet food away from the city noise |
Lasarettsgatan 5 Gothenburg 411 19 Sweden +46 31 711 7290 |
Not a well-known restaurant in Gothenburg, Bistro 1965 nevertheless offers fine, modern Swedish cooking in a hip yet rustic environment. The guests are seated beneath a starry ceiling of lamps, and are able to look through the window into the kitchen, or out over Kungshöjd, a central part of Gothenburg untouched by the hustle and bustle of city life. The restaurant can be hard to find. The closest tram and bus stop is Grönsakstorget, but for those not familiar with Gothenburg, a taxi or explicit directions are recommended. The dishes are well prepared and on the expensive side, but on the other hand, the restaurant has received much praise. The chefs are young and adventurous. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Exclusive gourmet restaurant |
Götaplatsen Gothenburg 412 56 Sweden +46 31 81 2580 http://www.fondrestaurang.com/ |
Owned by one of Sweden's most famous younger generation chefs, Stefan Karlsson, Fond sports several other award-winning chefs, among them Chef of the Year. The food is expensive, suitable for businessmen with expenses accounts. But Fond is a definite must for someone with a lot of money to spend and an interest in gourmet cooking. The dining hall is modern with a typical Scandinavian design, the eating area is non-smoking and the guests command a majestic view of Gothenburg's pride, the Avenue. If you are dying for a smoke, you may sit at the bar, where cigars are also available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Exclusive, homely feeling |
Haga Nygata 12 Gothenburg 41301 Sweden +46 31 13 4090 |
Right in the middle of Haga, Hemma hos (the equivalent of Chez) has a nice view of the cobbled street and the passersby. Hemma hos emphasises a familiar yet exclusive atmosphere and has a selection of well made, tasty dishes. The décor is simple but at the same time very romantic. The food is better than oher restaurants in Haga generally offer, and therefore also more expensive; but there is also a bar menu with a number of dishes. Nearest tram stop: Hagakyrkan (lines 1, 3, 4 and 9). Review © 2007, Wcities |

Exclusive and expensive with cheaper bar menu |
Djupedalsgatan 2 Gothenburg 413 07 Sweden +46 31 12 1031 |
Hos Pelle has been awarded an environmental diploma by the City of Gothenburg because of its eco friendly services. The food is modern and expensive and includes a lot of seafood, at least in the starters. There is also duck, several meat dishes and a vegetarian dish that varies according to the season. Hos Pelle is an exclusive restaurant with high standards, holding its own against the competition. There is also a cheaper bar menu for those who would like to sit in the bar area.

Local celebrity DJs |
Viktoriagatan 1 Gothenburg 411 25 Sweden |
Patrons wear black and have long, loud discussions. Tuesdays are reggae nights, on Wednesdays, local celebrities act as DJs. On weekends it tends to get loud here but the atmosphere is merry, not aggressive. The restaurant is the savior of many a poor student as it is possible to order large entrées at reasonable prices. The bouncers are some of the nicest in the city. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Good wine, great food and flowing conversation are perfect ingredients for a rocking timeout. All this and much more are assured at Kock and Vin. The menu promises to tickle the palate of every gourmet with sea food and meat preperations. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Established Gothenburg restaurant |
Vasagatan 58 Gothenburg 41137 Sweden +46 31 13 7988 |
Kometen has lived past its heyday. But its central location between the Avenue and Heden still makes it easy for people to find the restaurant. There are many different starters and several fish and meat dishes to choose from. And even if most of the à la carte dishes are available in children's portions, there is a children's menu. All kids are offered ice cream after their meal. The nearest tram stop is Valand, where trams 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 stop. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Restaurant with high ambitions |
Aschebergsgatan 22 Gothenburg 41127 Sweden +46 31 20 1595 |
Lagom is a Swedish word that doesn't seem to exist in any other language. It means just right, or just enough, and has come to have almost negative connotations. But restaurant Lagom certainly strives to be more than just right: it is much better than that. The menu offers a selection of seafood dishes with a twist, but there are several salads, meat and pasta dishes for those who don't eat fish. The word lagom does suit the interior, though, which is quite commonplace. It is nothing flashy and the walls are not completely bare. The nearest tram stop is Vasaplatsen, for lines 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Exclusive restaurant and antique shop |
Tredje Långgatan 13 Gothenburg 413 03 Sweden +46 31 24 2003 |
Exclusive restaurant in Linnéstan where the guests get to take the table home with them—if they pay for it. The restaurant is famous among the people of Gothenburg and it has figured in several books and been seen in a couple of movies as well. Right next door is the antique shop, which collaborates with the restaurant. It is possible to buy the furniture you are using. The food is expensive and top-notch, and the guests always come first. For example, they are allowed to keep their own private wines in the cellar, which anyway already contains several hundred bottles for diners to choose from. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Exclusive and expensive modern restaurant |
Södra vägen 32 Gothenburg 41254 Sweden +46 31 16 1183 |
Linnéa is on Södra Vägen, not far from Götaplatsen, and is one of Gothenburg's finest restaurants. The dining area is divided into several different rooms and decorated in a modern yet simple style. There are several different menus to choose from, apart from the regular dishes. Set three-course meals in different price classes, are available, as well as special menus composed by the chefs using the ingredients of the day. The business dinner menu includes a starter, a main course, coffee and truffle. The daily lunch is expensive and exclusive but always includes the choice of a low calorie dish. The wine list is never-ending with a wide assortment at varying prices. The nearest tram stop is Berzeliigatan, where lines 4 and 5 stop. It is not a long walk from Avenyn and Valand, where many more trams stop. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Modern restaurant with set menu prices |
Magasinsgatan 8 Gothenburg 411 18 Sweden +46 31 13 3000 |
Choose from seafood and pasta starters, two course and three course menus here. Go for starters, such as chicken liver parfait or risotto with parmesan, portabello and truffle salami, and proceed to main courses made with an immense amount of ingredients, and a variety of tasty desserts. The restaurant is quite small, with a square bar in the middle of the room and a loft filled with large cushions above the cloakroom. During summer the courtyard seating area opens, and then there is a bar outside as well. The closest tram stop is Grönsakstorget. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Eastern Asian kitchen with Thai touches |
Viktoriagatan 2B Gothenburg 411 25 Sweden +46 31 13 8800 |
Noon is located in Vasastan, an area in Gothenburg famous for its Southeast Asian restaurants. Noon is among the best of these. The menu consists mainly of Thai food. There are a variety of dishes to choose from, but the portions are not that generous. The décor is minimalist, as it is at most modern restaurants. The outside terrace is very popular during the summer, as it is situated on the sunny side of the street. The bar is also quite popular, especially on Friday and Saturday nights, when they have a DJ. The nearest tram stop is Vasa/Viktoriagatan, trams 2 and 3 stop here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

International restaurant |
Södra Vägen 20 Gothenburg 412 54 Sweden +46 31 16 0345 |
Restaurang?, or Frågetecknet (Question Mark), as it is really called, offers a variety of dishes from many countries, some with a Swedish touch. There are also several pasta dishes, which are available as starters, in smaller portions. The menu is international: the Bosnian speciality cevapcici shares the menu with the Italian dessert tiramisù. The reason for the questionable name is mainly due to all the problems that delayed the opening of the restaurant. Many questions were left unanswered and hence the owners decided to name the restaurant after them. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Turn-of-the-century setting |
Linnégatan 32 Gothenburg 41304 Sweden +46 31 24 0890 |
This building is over a hundred years old and was decorated in a style typical of that period. The owners have striven to recreate this environment with hand-printed wallpaper, benches stuck to the walls, panels and mahogany furniture. The menu, however, is not outdated; in fact the restaurant strives to be innovative. It is a sister restaurant to the more exclusive 28+, but uses simpler ingredients and has lower prices. The large veranda is extremely popular in the summer. The view of Linnéstan is magnificent and the antique setting inside a perfect complement. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Experimental French |
Götabergsgatan 28A Gothenburg 41134 Sweden +46 31 18 1473 |
Rôtisserie Rodi is run by Frenchman Yves Rodi, who spends a lot of his time experimenting with high-quality foodstuffs. These experiments have resulted in a faithful group of regulars. The food is of course French, with prices to match. French and Swedish dishes are on the menu, but English translations are also available. The restaurant itself has a modern design with a bar in the middle and lots of open space. Review © 2007, Wcities |
