GRAND MALMÖ

Along Monbijou Street (that's already a poem!), in the old knitting factory of Malmö, here is a surprising hybrid place. As you climb the iron steps of this imposing brick building, you feel like you've been teleported to Brooklyn, so you push the door open and discover a sublime setting, somewhere between a 1950s diner and an old jazz club. The Asian-inspired cuisine is as refined as the cocktails. On weekends, musicians and DJs come to electrify the adjoining concert hall. Exotic!
