Restaurants in Uppsala

  1. A

    Ofvandahls

    Something of an Uppsala institution, this classy konditori (bakery-cafe) dates back to the 19th century and is a cut above your average coffee-and-bun shop. It’s endorsed by no less a personage than the king, and radiates old-world charm; somehow those faded red-striped awnings just get cuter every year.

    Eko Caféet

    This funky little place with retro and mismatched furniture serves some of the best coffee in town. It does Italian-style whole food, turns into a tapas bar on Wednesday to Saturday evenings, and frequently hosts live jazz and folk, as well as changing art exhibits and general studenty goings-on. Things quieten down somewhat in the summer, when it just opens for lunch Monday to Friday.

    Hambergs Fisk

    No need to ask at the tourist office about where to eat: if you’re there, you’ll be close enough to smell the aromas of dill and seafood tempting you into this excellent fish restaurant. Self-caterers should check out the fresh fish counter inside.

    Tzatziki

    Tzatziki will supply all your moussaka and souvlaki needs. There’s cosy seating in the 16th-century interior, and in summer the outside tables by the riverside thrum with diners. Service is fast, the food tasty and there are several veggie options.

    Odinsborg

    Next to the unexcavated flat-topped moun called Tingshögen (Court Mound), at Gamla Uppsala, is Odinsborg, a restaurant known for its horns of mead and Viking feasts (although daintier refreshments are offered at the summer cafe downstairs).

    Domtrappkällaren

    Once a prison, this is now a top-notch restaurant set in an atmospheric cellar (lunch is served upstairs) at the foot of the cathedral. It specialises in gamey dishes and Swedish cooking, such as venison, reindeer and cloudberry soufflé.

    Amazing Thai

    This small, family-friendly spot is popular for lunch thanks to its great-value buffet (from Skr65). The evening menu features a good selection of fragrant stir-fries, noodle dishes and curries, as well as a set menu (Skr139).

    Saluhallen

    Stock up on meat, fresh fish, cheeses and fancy chocolates at this indoor market, or hit one of the restaurant corners for a bite; a couple stay open late for dinner, with pleasant terrace bars available in summer.

    Kung Krål

    In the heart of town, this is perfect for summer lunchtimes, when the umbrella'd seating on Gamla Torget fills with hungry punters. The extensive menu includes burgers, pasta, reindeer, salads and seafood dishes.
