Really gourmet, fusion twist on Classics. Unusual and delicious Pulled Pork sandwich with great gluten free bread, pecan pie with lavender and apple caramel notes, and outstanding Whiskey and cocktail menus I will try another time. Very cosy atmosphere with loft area for board games. How have I missed this having lived here 10 years?

I had the best night here, the spanish server (i think Fernando? ) was so nice and made sure our experience was amazing. The vibe is immaculate

It's expensive, but... The food is great. There's no music on the patio. There are board games and some vintage video games upstairs. On top of that, the staff is absolutely perfect—great and friendly. It's our favorite restaurant in Göteborg.

My girlfriend and I went here to grab a drink after dinner, they have an extensively impressive beer menu (especially for myself who enjoys darker beers). We both grabbed a beer and played some old school 2 player video games until they closed.
