During two weeks work experience in Sweden, six catering students visited Kock & Vin and had a fantastic experience. We went in and booked previously and were sent a text message to confirm. The restaurant was welcoming- service friendly, helpful and spoke excellent English- they were very attentive whilst not over-bearing. The food was interesting- beautifully presented and well cooked-... More

Our first night in Sweden and I had booked a table here several weeks prior. No idea what to expect but was relying on fellow Tripadvisors. The meal was awesome. We did the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Mussels in a Mallo broth, mushroom toast with puréed artichoke, anchovy bruschetta, smoked kipper toasts, and chicken liver pâté with risky... More

Have just visited this trendy top class restaurant with my girlfriend, we had the "Stora resa", a 9 course array of exciting dishes, flavours all combined very well with a well thought out wine package. Brilliant from start to finish and highly recommended.

Björns Bar is a place I keep returning to. It is housed in the cellar of celebrated restaurnat Kock och Vin in a nice part of Gothenburg. The concept is quite ease to grasp - a limited menu (due to a limited size kitchen) based in local and seasonal produce. There is an a la carte menu but 9 times... More

We had a tasting menu which comprised of a series of amuse bouches followed by four larger plates. food was very interesting and beautifully cooked and presented. Highlights were the reindeer, cooked perfectly rare and served on a lovely rich sauce with celeriac and spruce - and the excellent pudding around a theme of berries. Wine was lovely and matched...

All the appreciation visible on Restaurant guide are fully in compliance with the food scenario that... More

My husband and I went here on the recommendation of the staff at another nice restaurant, Avalon. We were not disappointed! The food was upscale, delicious, and fun. Wine pairings were great, and when one of the courses came with a beer made by the restaurant which I did not like, the waiter pleasantly replaced it with a Vouvray instead.... More

I had a business dinner in the highly acclaimed restaurant and we were not disappointed. The food is very good but a bit too "technical" for my personal taste. The wine list on its own is well worth a visit. The Sommelier is highly engaged and energetic. However the restaurant is understaffed for its ambitions.
