Trendy restaurants in Malmö you don't want to miss.

They've gathered together a restaurant, wine bar and cocktail bar all under one, international roof.

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.

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.

Their specialty is whole-roast duck, but don't miss their other dishes, including what may just be Malmö's most delicious dumplings.

Bermuda
SponsoredTry something new
Bermuda was the first not only in Malmö but in the whole of Sweden, to introduce deck shuffleboard. The game, which is basically shuffleboard on a larger scale, can be played both individually and in teams, making it an equally fun activity for a date as for corporate events, after-work drinks, and hanging out with friends. There's also a restaurant that serves classic pub food, and you can quench your thirst with cocktails, wine, and beer in the bar.

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.
