About BISe
BISe has given Malmö a sweet kiss, just as its name implies, with a wine cellar crafted by the passionate Arvid Laban Falk. A known face in the city as a DJ, event manager and the mastermind who turned a sleepy hotel into Malmö’s hottest venue, Arvid opened his first restaurant in 2022 with his partner and chef, Ludvig Fredriksson. The restaurant instantly became the go-to spot for wine and dining with a three-course dinner featuring a southern European touch. Nestled on a corner of Malmö’s old town, it boasts outdoor seating along a bustling street during the summer. Inside, you'll find a bright restaurant dressed in mustard yellow, as well as a small cocktail bar in an inner room aptly named Bar Bisou.
Since opening, the restaurant has evolved from a lively party spot and wine-by-the-glass place to a sophisticated venue with an impressive wine list. Arvid truly puts his heart into the wines, focusing on small producers, natural wines and classic boutique wines mainly from the Old World, with special love for France. Regions such as Bourgogne, Jura, Loire and Champagne stand out, and there’s even a section dedicated to Vin Jaune. BISe has also been nominated for its list of Beaujolais crus.
Something exciting is always happening at this cheerful yellow corner. Look out for winemaker dinners, tastings and an informal wine school. Tastings, typically led by Arvid himself or one of the sommeliers, take place in the cellar — a simple and edgy room in the basement — which just adds to the fun and personal way of enjoying wine at BISe.

BISe opened in late spring 2022 and is a welcome breath of fresh air in Malmö’s restaurant scene. Influences are continental, with a relaxed yet playful vibe behind food, interior and drinks.
The space is split into three main areas; a wine bar with a “living room-esque” feel, a dining room, and a small cocktail bar adjacent to the wine bar. In the wine bar, you can expect an array of a bit more natural wines by the glass and snacks in various sizes. The food is focused around a three-course menu where you choose your starter, main course, and dessert from a few different options. The plates are simple, and the produce speaks for itself without unnecessary add-ons. Well worth the price and extremely tasty is a worthy summery.
Like the restaurant’s concept, the cocktail bar is focused on a few drinks, handpicked and crafted with a lot of knowledge, without becoming overly pretentious.
The wine list is also a more than welcome addition to Malmö’s wine scene, with a natural focus but also with a lot of classic and boutique wines from both the new and old world. There is something for more than every taste, and it isn’t hard to see why this already is a place with a large following of regulars.
