About Ruths

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 transformed into an all-day destination serving breakfast, freshly-baked goods, lunch and dinner, as well as a deli. Under the same owners and head chef as before, Ruths has retained its distinctive style in the kitchen, loved by so many: a blend of Spanish, French, and Italian bistro influences are used on local ingredients sourced from nearby farms.

The wine list is defined by natural wines from small-scale producers, with a particular focus on Europe. While France dominates the selection, there are intriguing offerings from Austria and Australia – the latter really showcasing an exciting up-and-coming wine region. Wines by the glass are served on-tap, featuring a range of natural wines, from the more bold and edgy to the softer and more approachable.

With high ceilings and an open kitchen centrally placed in the restaurant, surrounded by a blue-tiled bar, Ruths offers a choice of bar seating with street views or tables set further inside. In summer, the inner courtyard becomes the go-to spot for an evening of wood-fired pizza. Ruths has perfected the art of creating a space you’ll want to visit, no matter the time of day.
