My wife took me here for my birthday, and it was a very nice experience as we both wanted to visit this restaurant for some time. Lyran is a Michelin guide restaurant focusing on creative takes on mostly local and seasonal ingredients. The formula is that of a 7 course menu for 650 kr, which is fair for what you get. The menu can be made pescatarian or vegetarian. The highlights: a ridiculously well cooked pumpkin that offered the texture of a sorbet, while being warm and fleshy, and some perfectly (like absolutely perfect) cooked cod, which is notoriously difficult to make interesting, and beef cheek. Plus a very attentive and nice service. Things to improve: a few of the dishes (kholrabi, saffron mayo on the cod, topping of the beef) veered a bit too heavily into a marked sourness for my taste, to the point where I felt it really ruined the cod, which was otherwise perfectly cooked (the radicchio leaves are also hard to eat without a knife). They have a wine pairing menu (5 glasses for 650) and an extensive wine list (at a glance, very few bottles under 1000 kr). We opted for individual glasses that were well paired. The main part of the restaurant is in the cellar, which features cork-like panels on the walls that give a bit of an industrial feeling, not necessarily in a good way.

Best non-pretentious (I.e. great food and service with genuine quality - not for show) in Malmö.   You can have an awesome multi-course gastronomic experience here, without the snobbishness of some other Michelin marked places.  Wine package is carefully and well curated.

Lyran boasts of a very fency restaurant in the Malmo City. It offers a buffet with 7 servings. Different than the other done ins. Service is good and servers explain you everything about the food. However the portions are very small, explanations are very large. It charges 650 SEK per person. Which seems too high and does not offer value for money. Also, the restaurant has very limited space, although well decorated.

It took me some time before I could book for the occasion I wanted, but once we got in, it was worth the wait.
The food, the quality of ingredients, the attention to detail, and the taste balance are mind-blowing.
I applaud the staff for not interrupting our meal while remaining attentive and helpful when needed.
This is a restaurant designed to host a quiet, intimate occasion, so no kids nearby. Can't ask for more
