destination
Gastronomic paradise With four restaurants that have been honoured a n
star in the Guide Michelin, very unusual for a city this size, Gothenburg truly is a gastronomic paradise to where a trip is justified just to sample the restaurants on offer.
A visit here without some seafood is a wasted one, n
some would claim. To try them all, head to Feske-körkan or the fish church at Rosenlundsgatan (www.feskekörkan.se), a fantastic indoor fish and seafood market, stroll along the stands and choose your lunch or dinner to go or grab a table upstairs and enjoy it straight away.
For a real luxury experience book a table a n
Fiskekrogen (www.fiskekrogen.se) and order one of their Chef’s Seafood plateau de luxe, you will not be disappointed. Don’t hesitate to bring you children along to even the finest restaurants, Swedes love children, but for a very family friendly dining experience go to Tranquilo at Kungstorget 14 right in the middle of the shopping district (www.tranquilo.se). The food is Latin American inspired and the drinks are mixed to match it. It can be busy but if you’re willing to wait over a drink at the bar a table will usually be cleared for you.
There are so many excellent restaurants in Gothenn
burg that it is an impossible task to mention them all here, but one real luxury dining experience worth mentioning is the star restaurant Kock och Vin at Viktoriagatan 12 (www.kockvin.se), that serves Swedish delicacies made with local produce in season. For a smaller bite or a drink head downstairs to the very popular Björns bar. If you tire of fish and seafood visit the hip Asian restaurant Hello Monkey at Linnégatan 52 (www.hellomonkey.net) or try another Swedish cuisine at Swedish Taste at St Eriksgatan 6 (www.swedishtaste.se).
