Quite a difficult grade to put. Only been here once and eaten a shrimp sandwich for lunch. The bread and shrimp were 5 out of 5, but otherwise I think you live on old merits.

First of all, it is really expensive. I am used to Stockholm prices and am in shock at how low lunch prices generally are in Gothenburg. But at Avalon you know how to charge. 179 SEK costs today's. Then coffee is not even included. The shrimp sandwich costs 245 kr. Bubble water nowadays tends to come "soda streamed" unlimited in decanter in most places; Something I appreciate because I like to drink a lot of water when I eat. At Avalon you get a Ramlösa in 33 cl plastic bottle for 39 kr. If they are going to charge SEK 39 (for lunch), they can at least serve it in a glass bottle. And a small paper napkin?! With those prices... Not okay.

Otherwise, I think the quality faltered. The tomatoes also did not feel like luxury lunch quality (as the prices indicate), the mayonnaise I find very difficult to see was home-made and the egg I think was a bit overcooked. The service was approved, absolutely no more.

With that said, the shrimp sandwich was very good, but there are many areas to work on for Avalon if you want to get up to the same level as the prices.

När man är i Götet måste man ju käka räkmacka. 😋 Besök på Avalon Hotell, Restaurang & Bar. Kan nog vara Götets största räkmacka. 😃 Räkmackan för 245:-. 100-talet platser i två plan. Bra och snabb service. Avspänt och skönt i lokalen. Mindre bardisk på ena sidan. Fullständiga rättigheter.

This is exactly how I imagine a classic hotel bar. Had it not been for the slightly outdated décor, had instead been full pot of me.
When it was new, and the bar like so, was this really The Place to be! This started the Gothenburg cocktail culture, and if you want really good service, great drinks and a loungig bar experience, then Avalon still one of the city's absolute top-bars.

The atmosphere is elegant, bite-flirtatious and that place is located in the ground floor with large Windows parties against the King's square, makes it even better. During the summer I like to hang here for a long, luxurious vinlunch in the Sun.
