The best restaurants in Linnéstan

Martin Moses, Chef of the Year 2019, is one of driving forces behind Human Restaurant. He creates luxurious and relaxed fine dining using local ingredients in season and Nordic flavours. The concept is called New Nordic and can be experienced in the form of both elegant business lunches and dinners with friends, partners or family. Drinks packages with hand-picked wines from all around the world can also be added to the tasting menus.

Björk och Bambu offers a unique restaurant experience in minimalist, harmonious surroundings. As the name, which means "birch and bamboo", suggests the owners have roots in both Sweden and China and they've created menus with Nordic flavours, cooked using Asian techniques. Ingredients are seasonal and whether you're in the mood for a light supper or their nine-course set menu, Björn och Bambu serves up a true gastronomic experience.

Walk in the Park on Linnégatan serves up parklife vibes all year round. Step into an inviting world of leafy plants, park furniture, blankets and lanterns. Roman pizzas take centre stage on the menu, served in various sizes, but they also offer selected natural wines, locally-brewed beers and cocktails made with organic ingredients.

A welcoming bistro that revolves around the large cast iron grill in the heart of the kitchen. You'll find plenty of good wine, delicious cocktails, cheese and charcuterie and, naturally, an extensive grill menu. Come by for a drink or fabulous dinner, with friends and family or colleagues.

Colourful Alba focuses on modern dishes prepared with fresh ingredients in season, paired with exciting wines. Come in for a glass of wine and some snacks or enjoy a full dinner with interesting flavour combinations. Don't miss their little sister spot Röda Rummet, which combines a bar with patisserie.

All the tables at Tant Anton i Stan have their own style and feel, and the dining concept is along the same lines. They offer an exciting mix of smaller dishes for sharing - but they don't want to call them tapas or meze, they're simply called sharing dishes. Come by for a cosy dinner, a relaxed post-work drink or weekend lunch. The drinks menu includes beer and wine, as well as several fabulous cocktails. The outdoor dining area can also be enjoyed all year round.

During the summer months, Hagabion's Café, part of Hagabion cinema, is one of the city's most popular outdoor seating areas. Guests have an excellent vantage spot over Prinsgatan and the coloured lanterns hanging overhead give off cool Berlin vibes. The kitchen creates vegetarian versions of classic Swedish homecooking dishes, regarded by many as the best and best value in the area. During the colder months they move inside into small, cosy rooms on the first floor of the cinema building.

In the mood for hearty, authentic central European dishes? Manfred's Brasserie serves classic, top quality dishes from Switzerland and Austria. Many people come here for a traditional Wienerschnitzel and Swiss raclette but the menu also includes fish and vegetarian options. The drinks list is carefully thought-through and, not surprisingly, includes primarily wine and beer from the same regions.

Ramen Ya, one of the first spots in Gothenburg to specialise in ramen - Japanese noodle soup, is as close to Linnéplatsen and Slottsskogen as you can get. Soups are made in the traditional way and broth is simmered for at least 12 hours to develop its characteristic flavour. Noodles are made on site, from scratch. Ramen is usually made with meat broth, but Ramen Ya has several other options if you'd rather eat meat-free.

Many would describe this little bistro on Olivedalsgatan as small but seriously delicious. Bistro Odette has 18 covers and if you want to guarantee a seat, booking is definitely recommended. Intimate and homely are the keywords here; the owner couple do everything themselves in the restaurant and make sure all guests feel right at home. Odette is inspired by Paris in the most unpretentious ways; the menu is short and classically French, ingredients are carefully selected and the wine list is extensive.

Books a private evening here and your group will get the whole dining room to yourselves. This concept that the atNordhem crew calls 'social dining' includes a personal chef and service staff, along with the option to request a specific kind of food. They also provide set menus ranging from three to nine courses, paired with suitable wines – or feel free to bring your own drinks if you prefer.

Coco Orangerie on Linnégatan is a modern lifestyle restaurant with a passion for both food and design. Eat lunch, brunch and dinner, or enjoy a cocktail in the bar. Part of the restaurant is completely glassed-in, just like an orangery.

At DINÉ Burgers they serve hamburgers made from scratch from Swedish ingredients. Meat is ground on site every day, burger buns are baked at a local bakery and the dressing is made to their own recipe. The decor flirts with classic American diner style, but with an industrial twist. There's also a classic bar here with an emphasis on beer.

Gyllene Prag is a true Gothenburg institution. Long before Linnéstan became the foodie mecca it is today - in 1973 to be precise - this Czech restaurant opened its doors, becoming one of Linné's two restaurants. Much has happened since then, but their legendary fried cheese is still served in the same way. Beer, homemade Eastern European food in hearty portions and a warm, welcoming atmosphere are the order of the day.

At this little wine and pintxos bar, whose name means mixture, it's all about wild assortments. The menu consists of a wide range of pintxos where influences from Spain, Italy and the Middle East mix freely. The wine selection is extensive and includes several natural wines, and if you're in the mood for beer there are plenty of optons, always served as cañas, in small glasses in classic Basque style.

Locally handmade sausages are the order of the day at Würst, accompanied by other tasty small dishes. You won't find the sausages they serve here anywhere else - the butcher who makes them only supplies Würst. Choose one of the complete dishes on the menu or pick and choose your own meal with accompaniments. Either way, the food is best washed down with a German lager, and there are plenty on offer here.
