About Lyran Matbar

On a corner by the ever lively Jesusparken in Möllevången, Lyran Matbar has established itself as one of the city’s leading spots, in a comfortably relaxed setting, with a wine list nominated for the Best Short List in Sweden at Star Wine List of the Year, three years in a row. The restaurant was founded by one of the city’s most iconic chefs, whose philosophy and cooking have served as a guiding light for many others. The beautiful wine cellar is visible behind a glass wall in the basement and is well stocked with gems from natural and biodynamic artisan producers across Europe, with a focus on quality and personality; these are all carefully matched with the menu.

Lyran Matbar offers a set menu that lists only the ingredients. What ends up on your plate across the seven courses remains a surprise and is part of the experience. Expect grounded, creative cooking based on local, seasonal produce, where the farmer and place of origin are often highlighted. It’s all beautifully presented, often with vegetables taking the lead. A kitchen that puts strong emphasis on craft, with its own preserves, and where juicing, fermenting and pickling are done for the seasons ahead.

There are a few counter seats for those who want a front-row view of the minimal kitchen (close enough for the head chef to hear everything you say, as well as for you to get first-hand insight into what is being prepared), along with a handful of tables. There is more space in the basement, with views of the wine cellar in a warm and intimate setting. In summer, you can take a seat on the benches outside and enjoy a glass of wine – a welcoming option for those who want access to the restaurant’s wines by the glass or bottle without committing to the full menu.

The wine list focuses on Europe, with many well-known natural producers and a strong selection for Champagne lovers, as well as wines from the Jura, Loire, Burgundy and Piedmont, along with Sicily. It also includes carefully selected gems from Spain, Germany and Austria, as well as a few bottles from more unexpected origins, such as Hungary and Switzerland.
