The guide to Malmö's best brunch

Lebanese flavours

This Lebanese buffet restaurant lays out a generous brunch buffet each weekend. Traditional Lebanese hot dishes, mezze and freshly-baked bread are served alongside brunch favourites such as waffles, cheeses, salads and fruit. Accompany your meal with fresh mint tea.

Boules and brunch

If you want to up your activity levels after a long lie-in head to Boulebar and combine a game or two of boules with a French-inspired brunch. Naturally, croissants and fromage feature heavily on the buffet table, but there's also plenty of charcuterie, desserts and other hot dishes.

Family tradition

Brunch is taken seriously at this family-owned restaurant as it's something of a family tradition. Every Sunday they lay out a simple but delicious buffet including American pancakes, croissants and bread with homemade Skagen prawn mix and other accompaniments. Table reservations are advised, otherwise they accept walk-ins after 2pm.

Lovely views

This neighbourhood restaurant in the recently-built Victoria Park residential district serves brunch to both locals and anyone out for a Sunday stroll in the area. Pick and choose from a table laden with hot dishes, cold cuts, salads and desserts before taking a seat and taking in the views over the Limhamn chalk quarry.

Classic Italian

If you want to spend your Sunday afternoon eating good Italian food in laid-back surroundings near the beach in Malmö, Via Napoli is the place to go. Sunday brunch is a served in buffet form with a wide selection of classic Italian dishes such as lasagne and pizza. Popular, particularly in the summer. Accompanied by live piano music.

All-in hotel brunch

A serious brunch buffet is served up every Saturday on the ground floor of Scandic Triangeln. You'll find everything from simple breakfast favourites to hearty salads, charcuterie, fried chicken, corn on the cob, nachos and sausages - to name just a few options. Fresh smoothies and mixed juices are among the drinks and a sky-high ceiling and views over the city's hustle and bustle add to the atmosphere.

International influences

The buffet table at Eatery Social, celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson's dining concept in the Clarion Hotel & Congress Malmö Live, is full of classic brunch options. Think crisp waffles, charcuterie, sweet pastries and plenty of Mexican-influenced dishes. As well as non-alcoholic juices and smoothies, you can order mimosa pitchers and cocktails.

A proper city brunch

With its prime people-watching spot on Gustaf Adolf's square and a top-notch buffet, the brunch at Café Gustav Adolf has a proper big city buzz. You'll find hot, cold, sweet dishes and fruit and everything else you could want from a classic brunch buffet and naturally you can luxe things up with a glass of bubbles. Book a table on the café's website.

À la carte with bird's eye views

High up on the 25th floor of the Clarion Hotel & Congress Malmö Live, Kitchen & Table serves up a combination of brunch classics, cocktails and spectacular views over Malmö each Saturday. The menu includes favourites such as Eggs Benedict, croque monsieur, French toast and a pancake bonanza, along with the cocktail of the day.

Post-sinning Sunday

MJ's fulfils all your brunch desires with a recovery package in two servings. Count on something savoury, something sweet, something meaty, something green - and, naturally, something eggy and Instagram-friendly. Wash it all down with a perfectly mixed Virgin or Bloody Mary, accompanied by laid-back tunes.

Energy boost

Raw-food interpretations of well-established favourites fill the brunch plates at The Raw Kitchen, with the likes of aubergine "bacon" sandwiches, filled peppers and avocado "eggs". Round off with a slice of cheesecake made from their own cashew cheese.

Living-room recovery in Gamla Väster

Sometimes your brunch fantasties simply involve a perfectly made Eggs Benedict and Bloody Mary. Your wishes can come true at this great little wine bar. Come early to ensure you don't miss out on the brunch special, otherwise you can choose from rotisserie dishes, cheese and charcuterie and other tasty tidbits. And a fabulous wine list, of course.

Jazz brunch

You won't find many brunches in Malmö as fun and lively as the ones at Mineral. A complete vegan brunch plate with both savoury and sweet elements is accompanied by jazzy live music from local bands. The drinks list includes mimosas and natural wines. Booking is recommended.

Plant-based and Insta-friendly

Malmö's own avocado café is a top brunch spot, not least because their colourful food and drinks make it particularly photogenic. Choose from two menus which include a substantial bowl, a shake, toast with a topping and something sweet.

Eco-conscious Italian

Good food is accompanied by a great atmosphere at this charming eco-friendly Italian restaurant just around the corner from Rönneholm park. Every Saturday and Sunday afternoon Osteria Qui serves a special Pranzo Italiano lunch consisting of an antipasti buffet, a main course and dessert. The buffet and main course options vary, but dessert is usually a classic tiramisu.
