A Postcard from Gothenburg
Greetings from lovely Gothenburg! I am here for the weekend to explore and eat (of course). One day in and I feel so relaxed. I love a second city – really I do! Hello Cork, one of my favourites where I lived for 8 years, and I really did prefer Split in Croatia to Dubrovnik. Hey, I am already wildly off the point.
Gothenburg boasts 5 michelin starred restaurants and lots of mid range. I am exploring the gamut, hoping to get a little bit of everything. I am letting the trip evolve day by day, which I love to do.
Here are some photo highlights of the trip so far. Enjoy!
Some pizza at the end of my rainbow yesterday - pretty!
Can I have this in A3 please?
Smoked quail egg with bleak roe, reindeer and other wonders at Sjömagasinet
Sjömagasinet
Diners at the Central Food Market
Feskekörka (Fish Church) in Gothenburg
Catch of the Day (Plaice) at Restaurant Gabriel, Feskekörka (delicious!)
Superb chocolates from Jeanna Kanold in the Central Market or nearby at Victoria Passage
Fantastic Blueberry & Cardamom Chocolates from Kanold
de Matteo - great coffee
HALLO!

I love the scary monkfish :-)
Isn’t he fab?!
Looks like you had a great time! Fabulous photos :-)
Loving it! Still here so there will be more. :)
Jealous! Sounds like you are all having a brilliant time.
Lady! How can you be jealous when you are travelling *permanently* at the moment?! It is I that am jealous :)
Other than that horrible monkfish at the end of your photos, great pix!! Since we will be in Gothenburg 2 weeks from today, I appreciate so much what you are doing. Heard the food can be quite expensive….could you tell me what you are paying for your meals (I can convert to US dollars)….If you can do this, I thank you in advance! Again, embrace every moment
will do in the actual pieces on the resturants :)
Suddenly craving some monkfish.
Thank you for these fabulous pictures. I visited Göteborg recently, but I must go again and see all the places you have photographed. Very beautiful indeed!!
I don’t even drink coffee but still find Da Matteo amazing! Great pics
Great photos. Looks like there is lots to see.
Just have to say that anyone that is visiting Gothenburg (or Sweden in general) must try out the Hotdog stalls that you can find everywhere.
In Gothenburg this place is a must:
Lasse på Heden
Engelbrektsg. 34 D
411 37 GÖTEBORG
Tel 031-16 86 62
Order:
Hel Special (two hotdogs in a bun topped with homemade mash) with either copped gurkins and dried onions or skagen rora (better version of prawn cocktail)
The Stockholm version is two hotdogs with mash in a flat bread with the same toppings.
Absolutely delish.
Enjoy my home town and let me know what you think.
Best
Lisa
