The best bars and cafés Sweden

It's just a few minutes away from the hotel. It's just a few minutes away. Slightly cheaper also. There is nothing like this to take a break and take a coffee and a brownie. Lighting lights create an intimate environment that you feel better by standing on the floor, far from the eyes of passers-by. Also owned by a chain, you will find other Crisp Cup in Nybrogatan 15, Hamngatan 37 or Birger Jarlsgatan 9.

A traditional English pub, the most British of all, here in northern Sweden. It has a very Swedish atmosphere, a perfect mix of the two cultures. To drink a beer or eat an English speciality that will perhaps change you from the reindeer and elk that can be found everywhere. On the menu: Caesar salad, fish & chips, hamburger, classic! It is in any case here that you come with colleagues or friends, to share a good time in a nice and subdued setting. In the summer, we don't refuse a place on the terrace.

This is probably one of the most surprising bars in Gothenburg, not only because of its name, which, if you understand Spanish can be striking... What is most surprising is its decoration, directly inspired by a brothel in Tijuana that belonged, in the 1900s, to an ancestor of the family that now owns the bar. The cosy atmosphere, the period paintings and photos on the walls and the red curtains make this place a pleasant intimate bar where you can chat for hours over a drink.

This open-air bar-restaurant offers a concept well appreciated by the French and now by young Stockholmers: play pétanque while enjoying a delicious cocktail! Relax around the court with friends before dining: one of Sweden's top chefs, known for training culinary stars, runs the kitchens! The bar is open-air, just like its little sister Boulebar Tanto, and is ideally located on the shores of Lake Malaren, in the heart of Rålambshov Park and only a few minutes from the city center. A perfect place to spend a relaxing moment.

The atmosphere of this place is quite unique and very representative of the spirit of Gothenburg: Dirty Records is both a used record shop and a vegetarian café! The border between the two is so porous that you can get up to browse the record boxes while your coffee cools down a bit. It's the perfect place to have a fika after browsing the neighborhood thrift stores, but you can also have lunch there (a unique dish, but different every day) or a glass of wine in the evening.

The Sjätte Tunnan is recognized by its entrance with a medieval and gold medieval banner. A stole of steps transports you directly to medieval Sweden: a vaulted cellar, happy lurons disguised as Vikings, knights or knights of the king, special beer (test Gambrinus)… In short, an atmosphere like nowhere else where local language pads often conclude well-watered evenings. Guaranteed, but we won't spend all night. To try also, some dishes inspired by old recipes.

Pharmarium is a must-see cocktail bar in the Old Town, inspired by the first Swedish pharmacy, which opened to the public in 1575. The choice of cocktails determines the choice of food. Signature cocktails as well as well-prepared medium-sized dishes are served, consisting of seasonal ingredients and traditional medicinal herbs. Just like its first pharmacist Anthonius Busenius the owners have created a place of medicine, beauty and magic. Warm atmosphere, like a scene from The Great Gatsby.

In winter, you can come and warm up by the wood stove, in summer you can enjoy the green oasis of the terrace.

This place is a temple of good taste, but also of good coffee and good food, and you can count on an extremely kind staff!

In the heart of the Trädgårdsföreningen garden, this charming café is housed in a building built in 1874.

It is an ideal place to take a break between two visits and to cut yourself off from the hustle and bustle of the city for a few hours. It is also possible to have lunch or to taste pastries.

A lively restaurant and bar at the top of Skrapan on the 26th floor and a more sober restaurant on the 25th floor, this is one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Stockholm. The bar is rather chic, the drinks a bit expensive, but the special atmosphere that reigns there and the privilege of having Södermalm spread out at its feet are well worth a visit! The place is also a restaurant! Recommended address for a romantic meal, with a table overlooking the illuminated city at night, or a beautiful colored sunset, a romantic experience guaranteed.

It may seem strange to come to Sweden to rediscover French charm, but it's the atmosphere of the place that's worth the detour.

In summer, the capital's inhabitants come here to spend a good time together, so it's a great place to relax and socialize!

A little piece of paradise in the middle of Gothenburg, that's what the owners of the place have tried to create.

The bar is open late, so you can spend a long time contemplating the view or making new friends!

Nestled under its red brick façade, this popular little establishment in the heart of Vasastan serves some of the best coffee in the city, with hearts in the hollow of a beautiful milk foam. Mouth-watering sandwiches fill the smallest of appetites, and the kannelbullar is delicious. A great fika address, with an outdoor terrace ideal for sunny evenings until sunset. You will see the locals meeting with friends. This café may become your go-to address when you don't want to look too hard.

Experience a must at - 5 degrees all year round. The interior of the bar is completely made of ice, including the glasses, from the Torne River in northern Sweden. One of the cocktails is named after it, the Torne River, but try the Jukkas or the Northern Light if alcohol is not your thing. You have to pay an entrance fee, but it includes a drink. Beware of the side effects though, the maximum time you can stay inside is 45 minutes.

Bought in 2002 by Andy Beerson and his family, this ^19th century building, a former brewery, has been renovated over the years to become an institution in Malmö. Behind the high brick walls is a concert hall and club, and now a pub and brewery that produces its own beer filling the place with hop flavors again. In all, there are seven beers brewed on site that you can taste, hard to find a shorter circuit!

The café is located in the ruins of St. Hans church (13th century). White stone walls and an old, untouched archway shelter a garden where round wooden tables and wrought iron benches are shaded by elder and apple trees. From this very romantic setting, there is a superb view of the old houses embedded in the rock face overlooking the garden. The food is quite traditional Swedish, and you can come here for brunch or for a fika.

Mejeriet, Lund's old red-brick dairy(mejeri means "dairy"), is located at the entrance to the public gardens. It is another famous venue in Lund, with a large concert hall and a tiny cinema showing non-commercial films.

Right on the big Stortorget square, this bar-restaurant is the trendy place in Lund. Metallic decoration set with black and white photographs of jazzmen and movie stars. It is a meeting place where the inhabitants of Lund come to relax at the end of the day and make new acquaintances. The cuisine is original and tasty, with chefs following the " mash it up " trend. This means mixing different cuisines and recipes while using seasonal ingredients from local farmers and producers.

Located behind the cathedral, Ariman is a cult place in the city frequented by a clientele of students, musicians, poets and artists who like to chat, play chess and read newspapers (sometimes even Le Monde diplomatique!). They serve hot sandwiches with olives and melted brie, chocolate cakes and coffee with milk in large glasses. On weekends, the bar turns into a nightclub with an atmosphere that varies according to the evening: reggae, raï, soul-funk, swing... A highly popular place!

The Stadsparken park is located 500 meters south of the train station and has a small red wooden house with white tables and umbrellas in front of it. The park is surrounded by majestic avenues lined with oak, beech and elm trees. The place, very quiet, is ideal for reading and playing chess.
