The best restaurants Gothenburg

This neighborhood canteen opened in the 1970s is a real institution. It is the first vegetarian restaurant in Gothenburg, and the manager and the staff are the same since the beginning of the adventure! Rather calm and warm, the interior also remained in its juice. Above all, the quality/price ratio is unbeatable: you choose among three hot dishes and have access to a delicious and very varied cold buffet. The food is simple but wonderfully seasoned and generous. A real good plan in all simplicity!

The restaurant in Gothenburg to discover traditional Swedish cuisine: elk steaks, meatballs with cranberries, biff greta, fish gratin at very reasonable prices.

So there is something for everyone and you won't be disappointed by a dinner at Smaka! Varied clientele, relaxed atmosphere and friendly service.
