First impressions of this place is super positive. I mean, wow what an awesome location. The decor is modern and super cool. Awesome decor inside and nice places to sit outside. Met up with a friend for drinks and the drinks were amazing. Top 5 in Malmö without a doubt. At first the staff member that took our orders was super friendly but when we hasnt ordered food by our third drink she became really unfriendly. Until at last she started to ignore us. The other staff memebers where still very friendly but she was really unfriendly even when we wanted to pay and leave. It wasnt a busy night, lots of places for people to sit and still kind of early so I am a bit surprised by her treatment of us. I would have understood it better if we were taking up a paying customers seat but that wasnt the case. Also we must have bought drink for about 450kr/person so I dont think we were exactly frealoading. Could have been a perfect 5 but Im going to lower that to a 4, not sure if Im coming back even if it was a cool place with great drinks.

We visited this restaurant right after it won the gastronomy award for best restaurant, best bar and best new restaurant in the city. Thus, the expectation was high and, Oh my, Did they deliver! The concept is based on dishes that can be shared, and paired with gourmet cocktails and wine. The industrial location adds to the feeling of being treated
To something unique. The open kitchen with the open fire is truly amazing. Everything we tried was spectacular, with a special for the aubergine dolmas and my eggnog. Really recommended!
