Welcome!

Hi, I'm Capucine, and I've been living and working in Malmö as a designer for over 3 years. I decided to write these travel guides to share my favorite places in Skåne, and more broadly, Sweden.

Here I have been collecting for you all my favourite food & drink places, so foodies like us know where to go!

Bon appétit :-)

Bageri Leve
@capucinegorenbouh
The empire of filled donuts! They usually have seasonal flavours (check their social media). You might want to order them in advance if it's a Friday special flavour! Also there is no room for you to eat them inside, it's a take away thing.

Scandwich
@capucinegorenbouh
It's hard to understand what a Scandwich is before tasting it. It is a giant sandwich with amazing toppings. A Scania (Skåne) regional thing.

The canteen inside the museum offers a great variety of dishes - the menu changes everyday if I am right.

A very modern Italian restaurant, with a fancy-meets-graffitis style. I love their truffle pasta. They define themselves this way: Always Cocktails. Apertivi. Fresh Pasta. Hand-Crafted Pizza. Weekend Sounds. Vino Veritas. Dolci. Vita.

My fav food hall - to suit all tastes!

Malmö Saluhall
@capucinegorenbouh
Malmö Saluhall is an obvious destination for those who love good ingredients and good food. In this market hall you can either do your food shopping or eat on site: enjoy a coffee with a pastry, have lunch (I recommend the noodles or falafels!), or buy yourself a delicious ice-cream.

Fancy fancy

Occo Restaurant
@capucinegorenbouh
Lebanese cuisine with captivating live entertainment, such as belly dance shows or concerts. It is very regularly fully booked so book in advance!
Add to

Riket
@capucinegorenbouh
Riket looks and feels fancy, but prices are pretty reasonable. They have a pretty short menu offering unique meals in small plates: ideal for sharing, or I'd suggest to take 2 plates each. We have enjoyed the fried cauliflower, the pork brochette, and the feta & tomatoes with leche de tigre. The menu changes quite often to adapt to seasons and local ingredients.

Marie Antoinette

Wine and dine with the most creative food sharing concept made by chef Rasmus. His ever-evolving seasonal menu will give you a Scandinavian touch of dishes from all around the world.
