Telephone: (031) 128 805.

Joe Farelli's

Price: Moderate

Is all that gorgeous Swedish food getting to you? What about tucking into a rack of ribs, a good old-fashioned burger or an extra large pizza for a change? If that's what you're after, Joe Farelli's is just the ticket. This Italian American restaurant on Avenyn offers all the classics in very pleasant surroundings, and at reasonable prices. There is live sport on TV, tables outside and a kid's menu. Ideal for groups, and it's open on Sundays.

Hos Pelle

Price: Moderate

This elegant, spacious Gothenburg restaurant serves Swedish gourmet cuisine at reasonable prices. The ingredients are typical of the classical Swedish kitchen, and many of the dishes have a rustic quality, but the context of it all is modern and contemporary.

Address: Djupedalsgatan 2, 413 07 Gothenburg, Sweden
Telephone: (031) 121 031.

Wasa Allé

Price: Expensive

This superb gourmet restaurant offers a modern take on Swedish cuisine, with a strong emphasis on organic and locally sourced ingredients. Think crayfish terrine with pear purée, white cheese and cumin bread for example, or pan-fried cod and cod brandade with broad beans, roasted turnip, and sweet potato and pork dumpling. Most diners opt for the ‘surprise menu', which changes daily and makes the most of seasonal produce. There is a solid wine list featuring some 250 labels (organic or biodynamic), and the service is spot on. One of our favourite restaurants in Gothenburg.

Address: Vasagatan 24, 400 16 Gothenburg, Sweden
Telephone: (031) 131 370.

Restaurang Fond

Seasonality is a key word at Fond, and flavours from Sweden's culinary traditions are prominent, but most dishes come with a creative, contemporary twist that adds a modern edge to the traditional elements.
