A cozy little pub by the pond that had just resently opened. The waitress and waiter were very attentive and friendly.  They offer a selection of beers and liquor along with tea and hot chocolate! We order lamb soup and enjoyed it very much.  For dessert we had cinnamon scruddle.

A trendy little cafe with interesting customers and friendly staff. The cafe looks out over the Tjornin and is close by to the city hall. Upstairs is a music venue I believe but it wasn't open in the day.

The soup with bread and hummus was really tasty and fresh. I had a filter coffee that was an interesting blend.

Food was good, staff friendly. Decor is an old style saloon or drawing room layout with fresh flowers on each table. Typical cafe stuff with some snack food like pan fried veggie dumplings and fries. The drinks were nice and the atmosphere calming. Right near city hall and the park pond if you would like have a easy exploration on a sunny day.
