Hot restaurants in Malmö
Trendy restaurants in Malmö you don't want to miss.
Southern European influences
Begin or end your evening - or stay the whole night - at BISe. The team here promise they'll miss you when you're not here. They've gathered together a restaurant, wine bar and cocktail bar all under one, international roof. Flavours and influences come from all over the world, with an extra emphasis on southern Europe - the name is an abbreviation of the French word for kiss.

Seasonal Michelin-starred restaurant
With an open mind, creativity, and ambitious tasting menus, Vollmers aims to take Skåne's gastronomy to the next level. What they serve is determined by the season's produce, but expect clean, well-composed flavours from local ingredients. The interior follows the same elegant and slightly stripped-back style.

Lunch and brunch in Frihamnen
Inspired by Italy, Mygel serves rustic lunches during the week, which are replaced at weekends by delicious brunch dishes with flavours from both Europe and the Middle East. Occasionally, they host dinners as well as guest appearances from various chefs and food personalities.

Spontaneity and small dishes
At Mutantur, you can create your own tasting menu, or just drop by for a glass of wine along with a few small dishes. The inspiration in the kitchen largely comes ingredients from the Nordic region and Skåne, but influences from further afield also have their place on the menu. Drinks-wise, the focus is on classic wines, with a wide selection available by the glass or bottle.

Quirky cottage in the heart of the park
What draws people to a little wooden cottage in the middle of Folkets Park in the evenings? It could well be the summery wood-fired pizzas, the delicious medium-sized dishes and the impressive choice of natural wines. Or it could just be for a simple glass of wine or beer. Far i hatten works equally well for a whole evening of great food and wine as for a nice stop-off on a Malmö night out.

Street food, Hong Kong-style
Inspired by Hong Kong's lively streetfood scene, Köket Lu opened up their doors in 2019 to great fanfare. Dedicated foodies and ordinary Malmöites alike embraced the concept immediately. Their specialty is whole-roast duck, but don't miss their other dishes, including what may just be Malmö's most delicious dumplings.

Rustic French-inspired food and a warm atmosphere
The food and flavours at Bouchon feel a little like a loving hug - and who doesn't love a nice hug? One of the best steak frites in the city, foie gras with brioche or macaroni and cheese with chantarelles, anyone? The wines - French and otherwise - pair perfectly with the food. Pick up an old cookbook or some of their own-made chicken liver paté to take home with you.

Welcoming home from home
In the mood for a spontaneous meal in Gamla Väster? Their laid-back atmosphere and no-reservation policy make Julie an obvious choice. You're always welcome here, whether it's for a glass of red with a good book for company or a blow-out meal with the gang.

Culinary journey to Latin America
Cantina Otro Más, inside the Clarion Hotel & Congress Malmö Live, is as much a place for festive post-work drinks with pals as dinner with the family or perhaps a date. The menu and atmosphere both follow a Latin American theme, with street food dishes such as tacos, burgers and enchiladas.

Welcoming living room
This modern Italian restaurant has created a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere around something that most of us like - pizza and pasta. They make their pizza in the Genoese way and top it with both classic and innovative toppings with options for everyone, both vegan and meat. Everything revolves around the delightful atmosphere that makes the restaurant feel like a living room where everyone is equally welcome.

Meeting place in Gamla Väster
Modern and trend-conscious, MJ's boasts cutting-edge bartenders, a rising-star chef and a stunning dining room with a high glass ceiling and masses of greenery. The menu is based around the best ingredients available in season, with dishes served in smaller sizes making them ideal for sharing. A hotspot for Malmö's movers and shakers.

Popular posh pizza
This well-known pizzeria, which can be found both in and a little outside of town, quickly became the talk of the town. The concept is simple: Neapolitan artisanal pizzas made with one hundred percent Italian ingredients and well-honed recipes, served in a casual way. You can sit and have a glass of wine with your meal in the Saluhall branch, while the Bulltofta and Erikslust branches are more takeaway-oriented.

DINÉ
SponsoredMade on site
DINÉ began smashing burgers in Gothenburg in 2014 and they can now be found in several cities around Sweden, of which Malmö is one. If you'd rather eat burgers that are made rom scratch, from Swedish ingredients, this is the place to head. Choose from classic, vegetarian and vegan burgers and combine with sides such as mixed fries and coleslaw.

Scanian magic
Date night or night out with pals? Lyran is always a great option when you're in the mood for creative flavour experiences using the very best regional ingredients. Sit in the cosy basement dining room or by the open kitchen watching the chefs work their magic.

Dumplings and dim sum
A warm summer's evening is the perfect time to drop by Dubbel Dubbel's charming inner courtyard. But you may find that others have had the same idea and are already sitting enjoying dumplings, steamed vegetables and Malmö's best mantou burgers, possibly accompanied by a refreshing drink. It never hurts to take a chance, but book a table a few days in advance to be on the safe side.

Tropical heat
Take a gastronomic journey to Thailand at any time of year via Soi 29's kitchen, which serves up streetfood classics such as green papaya salad and pork brochettes. The menu changes regularly as dishes are based around locally-produced seasonal ingredients. The holiday vibes are heightened with an exotic cocktail list.
