Iyoshi Cola
武居ビル 5 Chome-29-12 Jingumae, Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0001, Japan
A hand-brewed cola from a plastic bag that made me, someone who barely touches soda, want more.
This is the cola that gave me goosebumps in the middle of a street in Tokyo. You could say this is the cola equivalent of a great grower champagne. I don't really drink soda, and I'm not a big fan of it either. So a cola giving me goosebumps was the last thing I expected. But…

Sowado
リバーサイドビル 1階, 1 Chome-12-15 Hiroo, Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0012, Japan
Behind an anonymous facade in Tokyo hides one of those izakayas you keep talking about long afterwards. Sowado is a small place with great care, and an evening here truly left its mark. Tokyo is full of places that look like nothing from the street but open up into something…

Bar Bulot
Kungstorget 15, 411 10 Göteborg, Sweden
A small, pleasant spot in the Saluhallen with a steak tartare worth talking about.
Bar Bulot has been on my radar list for quite a while, and the reason is simple: the steak tartare everyone talks about. The one that is often given the title of "Gothenburg's best steak tartare." Naturally, something like that sparks both curiosity and a little healthy…

Hasselsson tusenlager
Stora saluhallen, Kungstorget, 411 17 Göteborg, Sweden
A really great sandwich in Stora Saluhallen serving up flavor and a little something extra.
I've tried several of Hasselsson's eateries over the years, and one thing that consistently stands out is that they really know what they're doing. It's the kind of thing you learn to trust. So when I found Hasselsson Tusenlager in Stora Saluhallen by Kungstorget, expectations…

Glou Glou Vinbar
Storgatan 54, 582 28 Linköping, Sweden
En ruffigt charmig vinbar med bra naturligt häng, härlig värd och smårätter som sitter fint till glaset.
Mitt i centrala Linköping, på Storgatan, ligger Glou Glou Vinbar. Det är ett sådant ställe man gärna söker sig till när man är sugen på ett bra glas vin och något gott att äta, utan att kvällen behöver bli särskilt uppstyrd. Här finns en avslappnad vinbarskänsla som snabbt gör…

Kampanilen Ice Cream & Chocolate
Karl Johansgatan 5, 414 59 Göteborg, Sweden
Ett litet glassställe i Majorna med hög nivå på kulorna och riktigt bra bemötande.
Jag svängde förbi Kampanilen Glass & Choklad på Karl Johansgatan i Majorna, granne med Kampanilen Konditori. Namnet lovar både glass och choklad, men under mitt besök var det glass, kaffe och dricka som gällde, någon choklad kunde jag inte se. Det spelade egentligen ingen roll…

Hasselsons
Drottninggatan 26, 411 14 Göteborg, Sweden
Ett trevligt och prisvärt ställe i centrala Göteborg där fisk och fritös står i centrum.
Hasselssons har funnits i mitt matminne sedan starten i skärmhamn, och deras fish and chips lever fortfarande upp till ryktet. Nu finns de även centralt på Drottninggatan. Anledningen till att jag ville hit var enkel. Jag har tidigare varit på Hasselssons restaurang i Majorna…

Mackbaren Nobelplatsen
Nobelgatan 2, 416 57 Göteborg, Sweden
Från food truck till en av Göteborgs bästa mackor.
Mackbaren has gone from a small trailer to multiple permanent locations in Göteborg, and it's easy to see why. They serve thoughtful, well-made sandwiches that are worth a detour. I tested their restaurant at Nobelplatsen. I’ve followed Mackbaren since the beginning, when they…

Brogrillen (Grillbaren)
Bro Centrum 31, 197 30 Bro, Sweden
Brogrillen in Bro lives up to its reputation as a high-quality, classic fast-food stand. I have been here several times before and the experience has always been the same: really good food, generous portions, and consistent quality. This time I went for their famous…

Pat's Place
Folkungagatan 140, 116 30 Stockholm, Sweden
After previously visiting and reviewing the newly opened Pat’s Corner, I was very curious to try its older sister restaurant, Pat’s Place. The question was whether the original would maintain the same high level or perhaps even surpass the younger newcomer. We hadn't booked a…

Tonari Ramen
Folkungagatan 67, 116 22 Stockholm, Sweden
Tonari Ramen on Södermalm is a really nice spot for anyone who likes ramen. The restaurant has a relaxed and welcoming feel, and the staff is sharp, attentive, and friendly. The service flows well and the food arrives quickly, making for a smooth visit without it feeling rushed…

Bamba Gatukök / Bambabilen Foodtruck
Skärgårdsvägen 271, 139 30 Värmdö, Sweden
From the outside, Bamba Gatukök on Värmdö looks rather nondescript. It’s perhaps not exactly the kind of place that at first glance suggests it serves really good birria tacos. Instead, you get the vibe of a classic Swedish snack bar, simple and relaxed. But sometimes, those are…
