Newcomer List of the Year Sweden 2025
Along the cobblestoned pedestrian street of the picturesque Lilla Torg square lies Lilla Vinbaren, a small wine bar housed in an old townhouse that has been given an elegant yet minimalist interior in white, featuring a wooden bar counter reminiscent of an apothecary's. The flirtation with the old is clear, and wines are proudly displayed on the shelves that stretch up to the high ceiling, signalling that, here, it’s all about wine. Although you can also order some snacks, such as pintxos, shrimp sandwiches, and cheeses. Here, you can sit two by two at high bar tables or take a seat by the...

Address: Brogatan 12, Malmö
Brogatan doesn’t easily fall into the categories of restaurant or wine bar. Offering a wealth of activities, there’s late-night indie concerts and stand-up comedy to basement techno clubs, bistro-style food – and good wine. I enjoy coming here because there isn’t a set list for glass servings and the sommelier is happy to open interesting bottles to serve by the glass. There’s also a great vibe and mix of people, especially in autumn and winter. The owners of Brogatan lead a creative group that has updated a classic venue, transforming it into a bustling living room and cultural hub where gu...

Address: Packhusgatan 31B, Limhamn
The old industrial area in Limhamn has undergone a transformation over the past decade and is now known as Limhamn's “seaside town,” with a harbour promenade and homes boasting balconies overlooking the sea. Here, you'll find the small wine bar Lilla Tabberaset, situated on a sun-drenched corner that is at its best during the summer months but also serves as a cosy retreat when the winds howl. It offers a small yet well-curated selection of beverages that caters to everyone – from those who prefer a classic ‘Super Tuscan’ with a view of sailboats to those who enjoy a playful and trendy pét-nat...

On a side street near Folkets Park, this restaurant and bar has claimed a corner and created a vibrant gathering spot for those looking to enjoy a meal or a drink in a relaxed and lively atmosphere.

Newcomer List of the Year Sweden 2025
In a beautiful red brick building, which used to be a foundry, you'll find La Fonderie – a name that (of course) means “foundry.” The restaurant is located in Varvsstaden, an area that was once part of Malmö's industrial harbour but has now been transformed into the city's newest district, connected to the city centre by a bright red bridge. Here, modern architecture meets preserved elements of the historical heritage, creating a stylish spot for food and wine. And this is a place for Burgundy lovers. The cuisine at La Fonderie, as the name suggests, is French, offering classic dishes like...

Adorned in dark sophisticated colours, Atmosfär restaurant’s aesthetic is both tranquil and classy, making it a favoured spot for business lunches, evening celebrations and quiet dates.

Located on a familiar corner, Atmosfär has been a well-known establishment since it opened in the 1990s. The concept has evolved over the years from an upscale restaurant with a tasting menu to today’s casual but excellent bistro menu, consistently maintaining high quality under the same experienced owner.

Aster chooses to go its own path and sets the bar high as one of the first higher end establishments opened in 2021 in one of Malmö’s most up and coming districts – Varvsstaden in the Western Harbour. Everything is more or less cooked over open flame and influences from the Mediterranean and the middle east are combined seamlessly with produce from the restaurant’s own garden. Even though the concept of “middle dishes” can be found wherever you find yourself in Malmö, this menu feels vibrant and is a welcome addition to Malmö’s restaurant scene. It is, to say the least, well worth the 10-minut...

A cosy and clean atmosphere with a small bar that hosts a generous list of stronger liquors and a smaller selection of cocktails.

Sture 1912 is classic restaurant territory in Malmö, and the walls have housed a restaurant for over 100 years. Under new ownership from the end of 2021, the restaurant was carefully renovated and restored to a more classic brasserie feel. The result is refreshingly elegant and continental. The menu is classically Swedish, with a strong nod towards classic European bistros. Perhaps it appeals to an older crowd, and it is charming in an old-mannish kind of way. In short - a welcome addition to Malmö's restaurant scene, even though the price point is on the higher side. The wine follows the...

BISe has given Malmö a sweet kiss, just as its name implies, with a wine cellar crafted by the passionate Arvid Laban Falk.

Far i Hatten leads a double life in the Malmö Folkets Park. During summer the big outdoor terrace is filled with people.

But both summer and winter you will find sought-after pizza and small dishes and not least, a serious list of famous and lesser known natural wine producers. In the bar Malmö’s natural wine lovers and sommeliers can be found in the late hours.

In the old town of Malmö, two stones throws away from the tourist friendly lilla torg in Malmö, lies Julie – a wine bar established 2018 that borrows its name from the late Beaujolais artisan wine maker Julie Balagny. And just as the winemaker strived to be close to the “more than biodynamic” approach to the wine so does Julie (the wine bar).

Best Medium-Sized List of the Year Sweden 2023
When Alexander Sjögren opened Mutantur at the end of 2017, nobody thought the concept would fly in the long run. Many restaurants have opened with the hope of being able to keep closed during the weekends but have been forced to have open on Saturdays and Sundays. The restaurant also only takes reservations between 5 and 5.30 pm, to make the later part of the evening more spontaneous. The restaurant's name translates into a Latin phrase meaning "change", and the only thing that hasn't changed since 2017 is the restaurant's opening hours. Mutantur is still closed during the weekends, and reserv...

Marie Antoinette is on the corner of Drottningtorget, a small square in the heart of Malmö. One is welcomed upon entrance with a semi-open kitchen, a large bar with an ambitious cocktail program, and an aspiring wine list. The interior may allure a younger audience, but the quality of food, wine and cocktails attract an older and more experienced diner. The restaurant’s signature is a shared menu which varies in expression and price depending on the season and availability of produce. There are also some middle-sized courses for those who want. All in all – the dishes are focused, ambitious...

Ruths is located at a classic dining address previously known as Bastard, a restaurant that gained nationwide recognition in Sweden for its bold menu and unique identity. Bastard marked the beginning of a new era for Malmö's wine and restaurant scene, and played a significant role in shaping the city's culinary identity as we know it today. Under its previous name, it offered a vibrant urban vibe inspired by New York and Copenhagen, with a lively bar, natural wines, hip sommeliers (wow, that was new to the city!) and innovative dishes.

Right between the city centre and Möllan, with a front-row view of the buzzing bike path where locals zip by on a lively Friday night, you’ll find Sauvage. It’s a small, intimate restaurant that greets you with a warm and inviting vibe. Dim lighting, cookbooks on shelves, and personal touches give it that cosy, at-home feeling. Dried flowers hang on the raw brick walls, and even the fake fireplace somehow feels just right. Sauvage has made its mark on Malmö’s food scene with its medium-sized plates, created by David Kjellstenius – a flirt with the French kitchen and international influences t...
