![Interior of Vinmagasinet wine bar, Malmö, Sweden.]()
Address: Pråmplatsen 5, 211 19 Malmö, Sweden
Best Newcomer List Sweden 2026
Slowly but surely, the new district of Varvsstaden is taking shape in Malmö. A meeting point between preserved industrial architecture and new construction, where some of the city’s most interesting restaurants have already taken root, creating a new destination for food and drink. One of the latest additions is Vinmagasinet – a wine bar with a clear and uncompromising focus on wine, opened by two well-known restaurant profiles in the city, Melissa Gardarsdottir Pekkanen and Onni Pekkanen. Vinmagasinet is housed in an old warehouse that has retained its industrial character, with raw walls ma...

![Guests at wine bar Flax, Malmö, Sweden.]()
Phone: +46 76 964 52 59
Address: Sölvesborgsgatan 10, Malmö
Sustainability Prize Sweden, presented by Wongraven Wines 2026
You will find Flax located on a corner of one of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. It’s a café where wine takes up just as much space as cinnamon buns, and sustainability serves as a guiding principle. Owner Buddha Browett is a well-known figure in Malmö and the driving force behind the city’s urban farming movement, under the name Los Perros. The menu is entirely vegan and built around ingredients grown in Buddha’s local urban garden, along with foraged produce from nearby forests and countryside. The result is a personal and thoughtfully curated menu. The wine list is constantly evol...

![Lilla Vinbaren, a wine bar in Malmö, Sweden.]()
Address: Skomakaregatan 12, Malmö
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...

![La Fonderie, a restaurant in Malmö, Sweden.]()
Phone: +46 072-748 44 03
Address: Ångfärjekajen 10, Malmö
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...

![Fir, a restaurant and wine bar in Malmö, Sweden.]()
Phone: +46 073-502 79 97
Address: Karlshamnsgatan 5, Malmö
Sustainability Prize Sweden, presented by Wongraven Wines 2026
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. The crowd is young and diverse, and in the evenings, the venue hosts everything from quizzes and small live concerts to festivals or visits from winemakers pouring their own wines. It’s worth keeping an eye on this corner, where it’s almost always buzzing with energy – and which has become a hub for events centred around wine. Here, the focus is on carefully-selected natural wines from local impor...

![Lilla Tabberaset, a restaurant and wine bar in Malmö, Sweden.]()
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...

![Brogatan, a wine bar in Malmö, Sweden.]()
Phone: +46 070-829 52 13
Address: Brogatan 12, Malmö
Brogatan doesn’t easily fall into the categories of either restaurant or wine bar. Offering a wealth of activities, there’s everything from 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 instead. 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...

![Aster, a restaurant in Malmö, Sweden.]()
Phone: +46 40-818 89
Address: Jagaregatan 6, Malmö
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...

![Atmosfär, a restaurant in Malmö, Sweden.]()
Phone: +46 73-564 34 53
Address: Fersens väg 4, Malmö
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. This is also a great space for a glass of wine with a view of the street, accompanied by some snacks. 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. The...

![Bouchon, a restaurant in Malmö, Sweden.]()
Phone: +46 40 30 68 50
Address: Andréelundsvägen 5, Malmö
Bouchon is the number one destination in Malmö if you crave food based on the traditional cuisine of Lyon, France. The keyword at Bouchon is rich. Rich in butter, meat, flavours and size. They offer both à la carte and a three-course menu but be sure not to miss out on their speciality, the pressed duck, a truly well served classic. Bring your second stomach and eat your heart out! A cosy and clean atmosphere with a small bar that hosts a generous list of stronger liquors and a smaller selection of cocktails.

![Brasserie Sture 1912, a restaurant in Malmö, Sweden.]()
Phone: +46 40-12 12 53
Address: Adelgatan 13, Malmö
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, a restaurant in Malmö, Sweden.]()
Phone: +46 40 643 63 65
Address: Norra Vallgatan 88, Malmö
BISe has given Malmö a “sweet kiss,” just as its name suggests, with a wine cellar created with heart and soul. The restaurant was founded by a well-known face in the city, who has brought life and atmosphere to many venues; today, it lives on through some of Malmö’s most influential and passionate sommeliers, such as like Jenna Lundh, along with a head chef who adds a bit of edge. When it opened, the restaurant quickly became one of the city’s most popular wine bars. Located on a corner in the old town, it has outdoor seating along a lively street during the summer. Inside, you’re met by a b...

![Far i Hatten, a restaurant in Malmö, Sweden.]()
Phone: +46 40 615 36 51
Address: Folkets Park, Malmö
Far i Hatten leads a double life in the Malmö Folkets Park. During summer the big outdoor terrace is filled with people. During winter you have to look for the entrance to the old house and only a murmur and weak lights lets you know something is going on. 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 a small townhouse in Gamla Väster, you step through a wooden door into one of Sweden’s most dedicated wine bars. In the intimate and welcoming space, you’ll find one of the country’s most focused wine lists, with a clear selection of some of the leading producers in the natural wine world. This bar opened in 2018 and takes its name from Beaujolais winemaker Julie Balagny, a prominent figure and driving force behind sustainable wines.

![Restaurant Mutantur, a restaurant in Malmö, Sweden.]()
Address: Erik Dahlbergsgatan 14, Malmö
Step into a corner where small plates impress and a wine list with a classic yet modern side, featuring a well-curated selection by both the glass and the bottle. I love recommending this place to guests – it reveals a different side of Malmö. There is a reason why Alexander Sjögren is a recurring name on the podium in cooking competitions. His cuisine has a distinct identity, where elegance and creativity are presented at a level that feels both accessible and playful – here served in tapas format. It’s where Scandinavian restraint meets influences from countries like Japan and Mexico. Tacos...

![Marie Antoinette, a restaurant and wine bar in Malmö, Sweden.]()
Phone: 040-876 50
Address: Drottningtorget 6, Malmö
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, a restaurant in Malmö, Sweden.]()
Phone: +46 40-12 13 18
Address: Mäster Johansgatan 11, Malmö
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. Now, Bastard has gowned up, rebranded as Ruths, and trans...

Phone: +46 076-008 03 83
Address: Spångatan 32a, Malmö
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...
