A bit out of the city center but it’s worth it.
The place was quite crowded but very good atmosphere. We had the best meatballs in our trip here, tasty and very affordable price.

An excellent Swedish meal! The meatballs were wonderful and everything was so fresh. This is very much a local Swedish bar/restaurant, with very reasonable prices compared to in the city, and a lovely atmosphere that’s very homey. This is definitely worth a special visit, but be warned, the menu is limited and it’s all traditional Swedish fare (meatballs, fish, beef). If we ever make it back to Gothenburg, I’d make a return trip.

The food is as good as it can get (truly amazing), the selection of beer is worthy plus exotic and the atmosphere (owner included) was very human and welcoming. I don't live here, otherwise I would come back pretty often!

Traditional swedish meatballs were amazing. Fish with potatoes also!!! Best restaurant in Göteberg.
