EATING AND DRINKING
Between Malmö's many
eating places
you're bound to find something to whet your appetite. Over recent years the influx
of immigrants (and second-generation Swedes) has created a demand for all types of cuisine, not just traditional Swedish.
Most of Malmö's restaurants, brasseries and cafés are concentrated in and around its three central squares, with Lilla torg
attracting the biggest crowds. For cheaper eats and a very un-Swedish atmosphere, head south of the centre to
Möllenvångstorget, the heart of Malmö's immigrant community.
four-course Swedish menu with whitefish roe, herb-baked
reindeer fillet, Västerbotten cheese and finally cloudberries
with ice cream is 595kr.
Mon-Fri 11.30am-midnight,
Sat 5pm-midnight.
