Signum, what a place! Earlier in the week, we visited a top restaurant in central Gothenburg without being particularly impressed, so expectations were divided when we went out to Signum. Enough that you have to pay as much as a trip to Mallorca for a menu and drink package, but you pay for a hard-to-beat evening! The menu package is about 2200 SEK per person where there is a non-alcoholic drink package for about 900 SEK and a wine package for up to over 2000 SEK. We are warmly welcomed, professional but still relaxed and nice, and are escorted out through the hotel reception to the restaurant itself. There, the first snacks roll in at the same time as the evening's champagne is presented, and the snacks were not disappointing! So much flavor in such a small area! When we have received our appetizers, we are led into the dining room through the kitchen and are placed at our table. The dishes that follow are based on fish and seafood in season, in just the right portions so that the nine dishes served in the dining room do not feel overwhelming. Every dish feels well thought out, exciting, innovative and well-prepared. The experience is enhanced by the fact that there is an unobstructed view into the kitchen where you can see when each dish is being prepared. It is noticeable that the ingredients are chosen with care and the dishes are cooked with precision down to every detail. The dishes roll in at reasonable intervals initially, only to become somewhat slow after about half. For the food, we choose non-alcoholic by the glass where both the apple drink with elderberry and cucumber and the beetroot with raspberries and burnt rosemary are simple but spot on! About three and a half hours later, we meet up for lunch where the evening started and are offered a final cup of candy. Both are touchingly in agreement that the highlight of the evening was definitely the crab claw, the homemade bread (where they get a big plus in the edge for really making an effort to develop a good gluten-free alternative) and the dessert which consisted of spruce ice cream topped with strawberries in vodka and sturgeon roe. As I said, with them you not only get spot-on food but an experience and an evening you will never forget!
