Malmö Restaurants

  1. Årstiderna

    This is among the most exclusive restaurants in the city, located in the vaulted cellar of Kockska Huset. A sense of excitement is generated by the flaming torches outside, which continues as you descend into the candlelit arches and alcoves. There's a great atmosphere, friendly staff and fine Swedish/continental food - just the place for a romantic dinner.

  7. Lilla Torg

    Lilla Torg is a picturesque cobbled square lined with restaurant-bars, all offering great food at similar prices. Their outdoor tables fairly heave in summer with alfresco diners and drinkers: almost like the Mediterranean, if you blank out the blankets and space heaters!

  8. Rådhuskällaren

    This is in the 16th-century, barrel-vaulted cellar of the town hall. Rumour has it that two members of the Beatles were turned away in 1967 because they weren't wearing neckties - thankfully things have relaxed a little since then! The food is excellent although the traditional menu (marinated salmon, venison, cloudberry desserts) is quite small.
