This Restaurant is from the head to the toe absolutely magical and cosy. Unfortunately it's more expensive then the other Restaurants. But the meals are very tasty and so it's okay to pay more money for it. The Service people were also nice, too.

The day’s menu is just 130 sek. The atmosphere is very cozy and the food is just great. Bread, fresh salad, bottle of water and coffee come included. This is a place to take it easy, regardless that the service is very fast. The staff is very nice and friendly. I will definitely come back.

We had the menu and the portions were just fine and the prices were reasonable. I highly recommend Köksbaren to anyone looking for a pure and amazing fusion food experience in Umeå as it is probably the best restaurant in town

Köksbaren exceeded all our expectations! The food was absolutely phenomenal—each dish was perfectly prepared with rich flavors and beautiful presentation. From the appetizers to the dessert, everything was simply outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. Our waitresses Kristian and Sissela were exceptional—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, adding a special touch to the evening.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the full menu with wine pairing at Köksbaren, and it was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was spot on – thoughtful, seasonal, and full of flavor. The real highlight, though, was the wine pairing. Each glass matched the food perfectly and really elevated the whole experience. You can tell they truly understand what they’re doing, both in the kitchen and with the wine list. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, with friendly, knowledgeable staff who clearly care about what they serve. Whether you're in Umeå for a quick stop or looking for a memorable dinner, Köksbaren is a must. I'll definitely be back!

The best food on our Scandinavian tour. Very nicely furnished, friendly and attentive staff. Excellent cuisine with great ingredients. All the dishes we had, such as oysters, caviar, bread and steak tartare, were superb. The kroppkakor were a particular highlight in terms of flavour. The wine list was also very fine. Thank you for a pleasant evening.

Everything at this restaurant was perfection. This place really knows food, plus if you ask any local what the best restaurant in Umea is, they will say here.

Been there both for dinner and lunch (soup + hot dish incl) at two separate occasions. The decor makes you feel like you're invited in to someone's home kitchen. Cozy. The fish was nothing special, especially considering the meat. WOW that was worth the price. Very tender and savory. Small tones of simple spices. The dish lasted a long time. Also the sortiment of wines along with the warm-hearted employees deserves a 5 star and a recommendation.

We went here to celebrate my birthday with my husband, service was amazing! they were very kind and attentive, the waitress even recommended us wines to pair with the food. I'm a vegetarian, and they had quite a lot of options for me, about half the menu was vegetarian friendly. Will definitely go back for special dates like that!

Top notch! Food was outstanding. We could not decide so took four courses to split on two. Each course were better than the one before. Truly great food! Among the best I have had in a very long time. Exciting and unique flavours combined with great wine. Service is great too and the chef describes each course in a very interesting way.

Today, while in Umeå for the upcoming Rally Sweden, I had the pleasure to have a Lunch at a remarkable restaurant that I highly recommend. The food was exceptional, with the highlight being beef tartare I enjoyed a starters; it was truly delightful. The ambiance of the restaurant is both welcoming and unique, featuring an impressive display of wines for connoisseurs. What stood out the most was the owner, who attended to us. He was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and kind. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a super experience.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful culinary experience, look no further than Tapas Bar Deli. Nestled in a vibrant area, this spot offers an extensive menu filled with mouthwatering tapas that are perfect for sharing or enjoying solo. The atmosphere is lively and social, often featuring larger communal tables where you can mingle with fellow diners. The service here is commendable; the staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring your dining experience is enjoyable from start to finish.
Very very tasty and interesting tapas! Recommending burrata and artichokes, super yum. Nice to have several non-alcoholic options on drink menu too.
Maarit T — Google review
The most ridiculous restaurant I visited among more than ten countries in the past ten years. Here is my experience: we sat there and waited for one hour for the starter (a piece of bread with salsa and olives), and waited another hour for the main course (mass potatoes and green peppers, ONE SMALL piece (3cm-cube) of pork and four small shrimps). Then we waited another forty minutes for the dessert (two vanilla ice cream scoops, and yes they “invent” to add salt to it and so ask for 100kr). Everything here costs at least five times more than it worth. If you are looking for some good food (not salty potatoes or green peppers) or don’t want to throw money (pay hundreds kr plus tips for breads and potatoes) or don’t want to sit three hours in a dark bar with uncomfortable chairs, STAY AWAY from this bar. I bought a MAX burger (much more tasty than their food) after my 3-hour marathon dinner at this bar.

Three course birthday dinner with a company of five people, including two vegetarians and one of us with a long list of allergies; they adjusted without question and without impacting either taste or presentation. Expensive, but worth it and then some! Will absolutely visit as often as my wallet allows it!

Cozy dinner experience! Food was well cooked and prepared. Some dishes were not to my liking, but I’m sure some people would enjoy it.
Petter N — Google review
Went in with high expectations, yet left a bit disappointed. Plates are a mix of different flavours, yet forgetting the essence and purity of local flavours. Service was even not to the standard of the food. Plates were put on the table and 1 minute later taken away to bring to another table. For one of the courses they even forgot to add sauce to the dish. Very dark setting, yet is subjective and some might like this. For the price you pay, should be better…
Yannick R — Google review
Undoubtedly the food was great. Small servings per course were expected. It was a little bit pricey. The only down fall was the whole course was served in a span of 3 hours. I imagine the setup was optimized for people who ordered 7 course meal and the drinking package. We only ordered 5 course and waited for eternity every other meal. I can imagine the waiting time for those who ordered only the 3-course meal. I went there hungry expecting to enjoy the food. Imagine myself hungry but was served with small portions of food every 30 mins. The main dish came after more than 45mins. The waiting time ruined everything. I totally lost my patience and was not enjoying the moment anymore after the second course. This restaurant is probably good for people who have lots of stuff to catch up with but not for people who are hungry and just want to eat and leave.

I had 3 course with drink package there. Food tasted great, drinks are amazing and matching. I had alcohol free variants that was amazing and surprised me. Service is outstanding and food/drinks explanations was great. Background music levels are just right, lights are great. Simply an amazing place to visit. At the moment of writing, it is top 1 in my list in Umeå.

Amazing food and wine. The staff are real pro's and very dedicated. We had 6 courses and 6 wines and spent in total 4 hours here. Hours that we enjoyed a lot! Taste combinations were exceptional in every dish. The sommelier gave us wine that suited very well with 5 out of 6 dishes, and good with 1 of the dishes. Which is still rare to find in up north Sweden. Simple plating and clean tastes in the dishes but cooked very well. We were surprised by the overall high quality and sense for small details here. Im definitely coming back next time im anywhere nearby!

BASTA - Italiensk restaurang Umeå offers a delightful dining experience with its warm ambiance and delectable dishes. The restaurant's interior is beautiful, and the staff is attentive and friendly. The food, especially the pasta and mushroom risotto, is highly praised for its amazing flavors. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the service being overwhelmed during busy times. Despite this, it's recommended for those looking for a great meal in a lovely atmosphere.

Great interior and even better service. Convenient central location with the option to eat both outside and inside. We only had some smaller bites, which were okay for the somewhat expensive price. They took quite a while to arrive, even though it wasn’t busy during our visit. However, the important thing is that the Aperol Spritz was top-notch! ✨🌝 In my humble opinion.. this is the most crucial part of an Italian restaurant.

We stayed for one evening in Umea and checked google for restaurant. We followed the feedback and we had one of our best dining experience in Sweden. The sea bass was exceptional. The mix of savor was unique experience. Even though we were stuffed we decided to share a dessert. Another great experience. Their wine selection is outstanding too.

The food was delicious and well-chosen. The staff was friendly. However, when it comes to the atmosphere, the tables on the top floor feels really noisy, likely due to the reflecting walls. The owners tried to put some curtains to dampen the noise, but it feels insufficient for my taste. It was rather hard to have a conversation with the people at the same table.

Wow! Bodega really left me speechless. The interior, the music, the drinks & the food - it’s really a miracle to be in this awesome restaurant. I got a pretty cool seat and was able to look at what was goin on in the restaurant and loved the music that was played. My dinner started perfectly with a delicious Campari which was soon accompanied by delicious crispy bread with salted butter. Right next to me sat a Swedish lady who was talking to one of the waitresses regarding how delicious the food was, so I really got a excited. Soon after followed my appetizer: Thin sliced beef with cheese and some extremely delcious sour sauce. The dish really was heaven, it was creamy, hearty, sour and truly amazing. Also the main dish was really delicious. I had some fish, which had the perfect consistency and was served in a delicious & creamy white mushroom sauce. They even brought my extra bread so I was able to get every last bit of sauce out of the plate. The servers were really friendly and made this evening an amazing experience. They also recommended me a very delicious gin from Norbottens Län and a good local beer. This was probably one of the best meals I have ever eaten. If your are close by Umea, you really need to eat at Bodegan once.

I was looking for a local Swedish restaurant and I found this one but was disappointed to discover that the reviews were very different then the experience. The food was too expensive and wasn’t seasoned and sour. I gave the place 3 stars because it’s a great place to go and have a drink with very warm environment for a luxurious bar. I can’t say if all the food is like that as I tried only a starter and main course. I add the photo of the starter, a smoked reindeer heart, I didn’t feel much the reindeer but was nice. And for me what make the experience as well is the waiter that was rushing me a bit for the whole dinner. It says that the place closes at 1:00AM and around 10:30PM it felt that they want to close and rushed ppl to get the bill.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful dining experience in Umea, look no further than Shanghai Restaurant. Tucked away from the usual tourist spots, this gem offers an impressive buffet that is both affordable and filled with fresh options. While it shines with its delectable Chinese cuisine and attentive service—thanks to the charming host Lala—the restaurant does have a few quirks, such as limited vegetarian choices and additional charges for tap water.
Great buffet, a little off the beaten track but we'll worth a look. Cheap dinner buffet at kr 149 and very fresh food.

The chinese restaurant that's run by the Chinese, that's check out. The food is not 100% Chinese they have some asian mix to it. The weekend price (about 200) and the weekday price (about 130) is very different so keep that in mind. But the weekend buffet menu is quite worth the price with duck meat. Genuinely, the restaurant is not up to Chinese's normal standards but this is Sweden so I will give them a pass, not a bad restaurant in Umeå.

For years I wanted to find a place where they really grill and to my surprise, it was right under my nose. Great atmosphere, ordered the chef recommendation which was a grilled chop with fries and berneise sauce. Delicious!

Then I also have to mention the staff! So nice and incredibly service oriented, can really recommend this place! (Original) Vilken pärla!

McDonald's, a renowned and enduring fast-food establishment recognized for its burgers and fries, recently encountered an incident where an order was inadvertently overlooked. After patiently waiting for approximately 25 minutes at the designated parking spot, a staff member acknowledged their oversight and promptly provided the forgotten food. Unfortunately, it arrived cold but upon expressing this concern, McDonald's sincerely apologized and not only replaced the order but also generously supplemented it with additional items like an apple shake, extra fries, and more dips.
The best McDonald's ever. Quick service, for the first time on my life I was asked by the Staff if order is fine, if three is anything else we need.

I just got McDonald's McCrispy Chicken and fries, and wow! The chicken was so fresh and flavorful. Their fries? Best in the fast food game, (I'm a little biased, lol). And that Banoffee milkshake? Amazing, though maybe a tad too sweet for me (my sweet tooth ain't that strong, haha). Seriously, great meal!

I am extremely outraged by the service at this McDonald’s! I have never experienced such rude behavior before. The staff was completely unprofessional, the service was terrible, and basic standards of customer interaction were completely ignored. When I asked for a glass of water, I was refused – which is absolutely unacceptable for an international chain. I came to this restaurant expecting quality and respect, but instead I faced complete disregard. This is not just unpleasant – it’s a disgrace for the company. I demand that management address this issue immediately. If the situation does not change, I will file complaints through all available channels and on official brand resources.

They forgot to make my order, but nobody told me that. I waited for half an hour and when i asked to check it, nobody answered what had happened. When my order came, it was with a new order number and actually nobody even told me it was ready (the screen didn't work properly) so i had to separately ask for it again. On top of everything, nobody apologized! Mistakes happen but the first thing you do then is apologize and explain the situation!

(Translated by Google) Fine dining with Asian flavors! Chose the sharing menu! The scallop with browned butter, ginger and chili is among the best I've ever eaten! However, the tuna sashimi was not popular with anyone in the group. Would not eat it again. Would have liked more attention from the staff to constantly wipe the table, throw away napkins and change dirty plates from time to time. Since there are several small dishes that are shared, it can easily get a bit messy. If you pay ~800 SEK/person, it's a given, we think. Either way, overall, many good taste experiences, exciting interior design and a good atmosphere. (Original) Fine dining med asiatiska smaker! Valde sharing-menyn! Kammusslan med brynt smör, ingefära och chili är bland det godaste jag ätit! Däremot var tonfisk-sashimin inte populär hos någon i sällskapet. Skulle inte äta den igen. Hade önskat mer uppmärksamhet av personalen att löpande torka bordet, slänga servetter och byta smutsiga tallrikar då och då. Eftersom det är flera smårätter som delas blir det lätt lite kladdigt. Betalar man ~800 kr/pers så är det en självklarhet kan vi tycka. Hursomhelst, överlag många goda smakupplevelser, spännande inredning och god atmosfären.

(Translated by Google) Good location by the river. Even when it is windy, there is good wind protection in the outdoor dining area. Inside, it is nice and airy. The menu is not big but makes sense. The meat on the sandwich could have been better cooked (it was a bit tough), otherwise the sandwich was really nice. Plenty of toilets, fresh ones. (Original) Bra läge vid älven. Även när det blåser så är det bra vindskydd på uteserveringen. Invändigt är det fint och luftigt. Menyn är inte stor men vettig.

(Translated by Google) Nice location but unfortunately that was the only positive thing. The sandwiches were generally tasteless and their special "shrimp me up" we didn't even want to eat, watery shrimp mixture with barely any shrimp. The party fries were good so we in the group shared them instead. Seeing that others have written positive reviews regarding the sandwiches, maybe we were there on a bad day, I don't think that excuses it. (Original) Fint läge men tyvärr var typ det enda positiva. Mackorna var generellt smaklösa och deras specialare "shrimp me up" ville vi inte ens äta upp, vattnig räkröra med knappt några räkor. Partypommes var god så vi i sällskapet delade på den istället. Ser att andra har skrivit positiva recensioner gällande mackorna så kanske var vi där på en dålig dag, tycker dock inte det ursäktar.

IMPORTANT NOTE: this place is card only. They do not accept cash! I was about to forget this, but it's very important. A honest place to eat pizza, pasta and salad. The prices are not too bad. I tried a Filleto di manzo and it was really good. The hazelnut made a excellent combination with meat and mushrooms. Also there is some beers (good, but not too many... It is a restaurant, not a pub) and coffee. I wish I had room for dessert, but this will happen in the next time.

Very tasty pizzas for a reasonable price! The portions seem small but due to the thicker pizza dough, we were more than satisfied afterwards. You order and pay at different “stations” (pizza, pasta... like self service), so the food might not be ready simultaneously- but they do inform you about this beforehand. The place is cozy but the tables are not cleaned regularly. I will definitely come back to try more of their menu!!

No fault about the food, can honestly say I've had the best calzone so far here and the other food seems good as well. Getting the food though seems to be the issue. Terrible service and it wasn't at all clear upon entering the restaurant how to order. Neither greetings by the door nor a marked menu by the counter, the staff didn't seem to notice us standing in front of them until we called to attention. While eventually waiting for the food I've also noticed every person entering the restaurant having the same confused look upon their faces, wandering about until they somehow managed to order.

One of the unique features of this bistro is the singing chef Christian who takes over at 4:00 PM, entertaining guests with his interpretations of Cornelis Vreeswijk's songs.
I've been a regular at this place for 5 years, so about time I write a review. Amazing food and absolutely delightful, friendly staff. Also very good prices for the quality and quantity of food (especially the 3-course menu)! The ambiance is cozy, elegant but also relaxed. It's family friendly but at the same time perfect for a romantic date. Some of the best things about the food: Mostly locally sourced meat, amazing vegetarian and vegan dishes(although let them know ahead of time for vegan), and the menu changes seasonally so there's always something new and exciting to try out. This is my favourite restaurant in Umeå and I truly recommend anyone to try it! I have also ordered catering for a bigger party from them and again great price for quality and quantity of food!

Opretentiös fine dining i Umeå / Unpretentious fine dining in Umeå. English will follow, below! [ Premise ] Took my mother to this restaurant as a delayed "80th Mother's Day gift" and invited one of her close friends to join us. Got some knitted, amazing TV-socks, Swedish "1970s-1980s style". I just love them and have them on whenever I get home from work. I was not impressed by my mother's choice of resturant, but ... [ So about "Bistro Le Garage" ] ... I was very surprised about the whole place; it doesn't look like much from the outside. So when it came to the first drinks, I also asked the waiter/waitress to just pick the best alcoholic/non-alcoholic choices according to our food choice order. And yes, we had the same waiter/waitress the whole evening. So I had no "big" hopes for it. But damn... I got an awakening when the dishes and the beverages started to roll out. And the waiter/waitress started to do the same as in Michelin-star restaurants, telling us about the dishes they were serving tonight where the meat was locally sourced. They also told us about where the beverage was from, local or not. So I give this resturant 5/5 for Food and Service it was excellent! [ Suggestion for "Bistro Le Garage" ] 1a) For the seating, nothing much to do about the room, but I could suggest some more flamboyant / Extravagant curtains in the "BIG" windows. Thick fabric :) 1b) Could also dampen the noise with big parties, since the Resturant was fully booked :). Was Okay noise level, we could talk to each other, when we arrived at 17:14.. But was a bit noicey in the end before we left 19:03. This when the group of 20+ collegues that had single colleague to celebrate I could not hear much across from the other side of the table. So this might have be a one off.. So I will not let this affect my review of the total score :D. All the best, Andreas

The restaurant offers a mix of traditional and modern Indian cuisine, with options for both buffet and à la carte dining. Visitors can expect a variety of flavorful dishes, including the popular lunch buffet known for its diverse and tasty selection.
The customers were actually more than expected when we were there in an early weekday evening, but the restaurant was clearly understaffed. The only waiter was polite friendly considerate and professional, which brought a pleasant beginning to this dinner. We were amazed by how many dishes here in the menu and the food I ordered was REALLY good. With the mango lassi I was so full in the end. Maybe the only thing that was not that satisfying was the waiting time. It was a bit longer than expected. Overall was a nice experience.

Lovely restaurant/bar on the river with plenty of space and the option to sit both inside and outside. They often feature live music for a more lively atmosphere if that's your thing 🎶🎸 Ordering is easy through the WEIQ app, which ensures food and drinks are delivered directly to your chosen table, depending on the area where you're seated. I visit once a year while visiting family just for the shrimp sandwich, which is packed with hand-peeled shrimp 🦐✨ However, it can get really busy, which may increase the waiting time for orders.

We wanted to get the experience of dine in a boat. It was congested. When it’s crowded and people talk very loudly it is not a quiet place to eat peacefully. People with claustrophobia and motion sickness have to be careful. Food was not value for money. Had a different taste. But portion was small and not delicious so as to match the price. There are other restaurants in Umeå which provide delicious food for better prices. Burger bun was cheap. The crust of the pizza was burnt and useless. The provided water bottle, no cold or lemon or mint or anything. Just normal. If they charge expensive, it’s appreciated if they could provide an exceptional quality. Service staff was good. But they had only one English menu. We had trouble with the sun rays directly fall into the face and high voices of other customers as the space is limited. This is only my personal experience. My preference. Not a repeat customer.

I recently dined at this unique restaurant located on a boat by the river, and the setting was truly the highlight of the experience. The views were stunning and provided a lovely backdrop for a meal. Unfortunately, the food was just okay - nothing spectacular, but it did the job. The service, however, needed some improvement. Our waitress seemed to rely heavily on the app for resolving issues, which didn't quite cut it when everything on the menu was in Swedish and I needed some assistance. It took a bit of time to get help, and a more hands-on approach from the staff would have made a big difference. Despite this, the atmosphere and location made it worth a visit.

Really great food and super tasty. Like a Tapas bar but self service. Sadly you can’t pay in cash, you can only order on an app and you need to verify with a text message. We’re Visiting from the UK and did not receive a text. It’s been 6 hours since I requested a verification code and still not received. Was told normally takes 5-20 minutes. Luckily we are visiting Swedish friends and we’re able to order from their phones, If we did not we would’ve had to leave and find someone else to eat. It’s a Very bad system, it needs some sort of verification via email as an alternative. I can recommend that you visit, but make sure you download and verify the app in advance so you don’t waste time until they fix the issue. I wanted to give 5 stars but 3 stars for the extensive amount of time wasted and useless app and no alternative to ordering.

It's a very particular place to enjoy your dinner. Meals are composed by special and delicious tapas. Concept is fantastic, especially if you love circus theme. Prices are a little over the city standard.

It was really a pleasure to be there. The food was really good and I also like the concept. I came really late (some minutes before the kitchen closed) because I just arrived from the airport. But the staff was really really friendly and kind. Since it was my first visit at Pinchos, Jessica (i hope I spell it right) took her time to tell me detailled how to register and use the app. So overall excellent food & drinks and a very nice and charming staff. Visit you again when I'm in Umea the next time.

The service and food at Sen Street Kitchen Avion Umeå is good. The staff is friendly and helpful. The Hanamii is gluten free and contained spirals of crisp cucumber and plenty of radish ”noodles”. There were plenty of edamame and various other components. There was plenty of salmon in nice cubes. The dish looks close to the one shown on the menu. The Hanamii served at Sen Street Kitchen Skellefteå is seriously lacking and a huge disappointment compared to the Avion experience. We ordered take away. Plenty of very soft rice and mayonnaise but no cucumber at all, a sad and very small pile of radish that were cut poorly and not in nice spirals. Smaller cubes of salmon and not as much salmon either, a few edamame a small pile red onions and very few salad leaves. Didn’t look at all like the picture on the menu. The only part of the dish that had the same measurements as in Umeå were the rice, the mayonnaise and the pickled ginger. So you end up with a mush of rice and no crispness or other textures to balance it off. Over priced. Dumsnålt. Not as good service as the Avion location either. I’ve contacted Sen Street Kitchen Skellefteå about my issues with the Hanamii but haven’t heard back from them. Avion Umeå: Food 5 stars because I’m happy to find something gluten free and the potion size and presentation was really good. Staff 5 stars because they were really friendly and super helpful. Sen Street Kitchen Skellefteå, Based on the gluten free options I’ve tried I wouldn’t recommend it at all. The other gluten free dish I’ve tried besides hanamii didn’t taste much and had pieces of over cooked chicken breast that was extremely dry. 👎🏻

Assaf W — Google review
I had risotto with shrimps, that were both overcooked and slightly too salty. A risotto must be "al dente". In addition, the size of the portion was rather a starter than a main dish. My Co had a starter with ravioli which was micro-size, and the chanterelle seemed to me from the can. However the bread was very good.
Muschek — Google review
Visited last week - we ordered starters. Angelini's Anti Pasta plate was disappointing from a cost to value standpoint; 2 small blocs of cheese, each divided in 4 small cubes, 2 slices of salami, 4 olives, one soup stick and a small piece of pickled 'carcioffo'. What did we pay for it? Sek.155. I'm not a big fan of XL starters but this was clearly on the other side of the generosity spectrum. As this was an indicator we skipped main and dessert, so we cannot comment about it. But In my opinion not worth revisiting. On a positive note, friendly staff and pets are allowed in the lobby/bar area.

We went here on after work and wanted to watch the football live and looked for a place with a nice atmosphere. It’s was alright, big screens. However the service was a bit slow and they forgot my French fries order. Quite expensive food here to be honest… Got a “chili n jalapeños burger” for 209kr and it was bland, not spicy, nothing special. No happy dance there. Food was 3/5. Come here for the football but maybe not food. Appetizers might be ok… the chicken quesadilla with cheese was burnt and barely had any filling!! 1,5/5…. Enjoy :)

The restaurant was more or less empty, but it took them more than an hour to serve our lunch. We had ordered two portions of garlic bread, but only one ever arrived. We had to insist ourselves on a discount on the bill for the tardy service, and only received a 10% discount. When the food finally arrived, it did taste lovely, but the portions were on the small side (especially the vegetarian dish). It's a pity because the location and rooms are lovely.

Over priced and basic. The restaurant is furnished like a school dining hall. For the price I'd expects to be seated by a waiter by a white cloth table, not to order at the bar. Asked for kids menu, they offered fish n chips... we paid an "adult price" but portion was very small. Salmon soup was announced as fish soup when served... Couldn't find a piece of salmon in it. Also ordered "Avocado and tomato salsa with garlic bread and tofu pesto"... It was a salsa with tomatoes but mostly some type of sauerkraut on top of what I'm guessing was supposed to be garlic bread, very thin and crispy. Topped with sliced half avocado and a large chunk of pesto, plus rocket salad. Would been good as side dish... in a very small portion. Had to ask to refill the bread basket and butter - under staffed and not very friendly. The location is nice, situated next to the sea the view can be great, but the surrounding area is not very nice... The restaurant been there for at least 5 years, but it never seem to be finished. No grass, trees or plants... Mostly gravel, dirt and construction site when you look around. If you go there I think it's safer to order prawn sandwich or fried herring... I think it might be worth what you paying. Sorry but I won't go back there again.

Wonderful location by the water (the part of Östersjön called Kvarken), with the possibility to either sit and eat outdoors, or indoors in light-filled rooms with large glass windows/doors. The main dishes were great and well-priced – there were four different fish dishes to choose from – and the wild salmon, tataki style, was particularly delicious! The Kalix caviar starter I felt was a bit overpriced; served with deep fried "bread sticks" rather than Swedish potato pancakes. The dessert choices were a bit disappointing as well. Lastly, they could include a small children's menu for the families with kids.

We called ahead of time about an outside table due to a vulnerable person in our group to Covid. They said no worries, come on out. We arrived and the place is way overpacked, absolutely no physical distancing, and you have to wait in a crowded line ***inside, with people just cm from each other*** It was like a "get your covid right here" party. It made me mad that A) we drove from town 1.5 hours in total to get there and back B) They don't seem to care about the safety of their customers, and C) I didn't get to try the apparently amazing fried herring. Please clean up your act Kvarkenfisk. Fortunately, or 2 year old is into helicopter and got to see this happen, so we got that going for us!

Good location near the city centre and train station. Dinner is included in the price and is fine, but with only two options (default or vegetarian). Breakfast is nothing exciting but overall good quality. The rooms are spacious and mainly well-kept but I was annoyed by the larger-than-usual gap beneath the door which let in light and noise from the corridor. Bathroom floors are heated, which is nice, but the material was extremely slippery when wet. I was here for a work event and they seemed a bit unused to serving even a small-ish conference group.

I had their lunch buffet. Good variety from chicken, beef and fish. Vegetarian options as well. Several curries, naan and rice. Salad variety is also decent and tasty. Achar was nice as well. Juices, tea and coffee added value. I suggest adding doodh Patti to give a lovely good bye.

Horrible experience, we ordered take away to have dinner at hotel. We drove all the way to the main city, but the mixed veg & both rice boxes were stale, naan was undercooked. Complete disaster food, we couldn’t eat most of the food. It is the responsibility of the chef to check the quality of the food before packing. Chicken & lamb taste was still OK & we could atleast eat some but we had to make rice at Air B&B & the naan was not eatable even after heating up. Being tourists we had to rely on the take away food but it is not good at all & how can they serve old stale food. Never had such an experience before. Waste of money. Not recommend at all, seems it was Sri Lankan restaurant, there were no customers inside.

Fantastic!. Easily can say it was my best indian cuisine experience in Sweden. Chef Soboj's Tikka Chicken (chili) with Mexican fajita style serving will blow your mind. Very delicious Naan bread (garlic). A tiny tip: Even during lunch, order your food from the menu instead of open Buffett. Their open Buffett is also good but if you want the real experience of Indian cuisine, menu is the key. Restaurant is quite clean, but it's an underground restaurant without windows yet Ambiance and the location is perfect.

I tried a dish I've never had before, so it's hard to compare it to other restaurants in Umeå where I (before this dinner) had a dish I eat regularly. But the food was good and I was very satisfied. The restaurant wasn't very elegant in its design, so if you find that sort of thing important I'd go elsewhere. But Ghandi seems to be a great place for food, a nice staff and great prices. You get a lot of quality food when you order, something I found to be missing at the other Indian restaurant I went to during my stay in Umeå. So I'd recommend you to at least try Ghandi once. And make sure to say hi to the owner, he's very friendly, something I value when dining.

I'm reviewing the restaurant regarding the New year's eve dinner. The food that was served totally ruined our night. I was really looking forward to trying all the dishes but they were just terrible. We barely got through the appetizers. What especially shocked me was that there was no bread or anything served with the tartare - honestly how you are expecting a guest to just go through a plate of just raw meat? Very weird choice, but nevertheless we hoped that the main dishes would be better. To our disappointment they were even worse. Just inedible. We didn't even eat half of the fish and I only ate a piece or two of the venison. The fish was just so bland, especially the sauce paired with it was so disgusting - just made the whole dish flavourless. Were there any spices used during the cooking? The venison was awfully undercooked. It was so gummy that I couldn't chew through it without gagging. I don't understand why the staff didn't ask us for the preference regarding the meat? To be honest I have made a better one at home recently, so the texture of the meat itself wasn't the problem. The last disappointment was the cake, which I hoped would save this disaster. It was few dry crumbs of brownie with a bit of ice cream. Just laughable. Somehow it was a fitting ending to this whole flop, that this "dinner" was. It was one of the most expensive dinners in my life, but somehow it was the worst. A cheap vietnamese restaurant in Prague was a Michelin worthy dining experience compared to this. I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to eat here. The chef should be fired for composing this menu.

(Translated by Google) The dream is to have a dining room all to yourself. We have the pleasure of being served by a newly hired waiter who does a brilliant job all the way. I ask for a cheese/charcuterie plate with a little extra as a main course and really get extra everything; bread in two different ways, seed crackers and other hard bread. Three different kinds of cheese and three kinds of charcuterie. Good tomato(?) marmalade with vanilla. The wine in the glass is Italian with a smiling indulgence from our French head waiter. My company eats rigatoni with wild boar ragù; good and well-prepared home cooking. Thank you for a nice evening. (Original) Drömmen är att ha en matsal helt för sig själv. Vi har nöjet att få service av nyanställd serveringsperson som gör ett strålande jobb hela vägen. Jag ber om en ost/charktallrik med lite extra som huvudrätt och får verkligen extra allt; bröd på två olika sätt, fröknäcke samt annat hårt bröd. Tre olika sorters ost och tre sorters chark. God tomat(?)marmelad med vanilj. Vinet i glaset blir italienskt med ett leende överseende av vår franske hovmästare. Mitt sällskap äter rigatoni med vildsvinsragú; god och vällagad husmanskost. Tack för en trevlig kväll.

We were two times in this place and both visits were great - tasty food and satisfaction. And now about our insights: > Not so many options with food but all of them are great and tasty; > You can sit in outside or inside (first or second floor); > Lunch buffet all you can eat is great and cost only 70 SEK (food quality and price is great); > Recommendation to come before lunch (many people will come before and during 12am). > I always say if you will see people eating in place who work as builders or any other heavy physical work that means you will find in place good price and food quality ratio. > Three sorts of refreshing drinks + coffee > Yes, maybe there could be 4 stars just because they are not offering ice cream but for this price we could not ask more > Good place, recommendation for other and keep your food and price ratio - thank you for this experience

Very friendly staff in a beautiful spot. I really enjoyed the beautifully decorated patio directly in Umeas city center. The local gin tonic was great ( thanks to the lime), fruity and strong enough. The beers were also really delicious ( I preferred the sweet brew-team IPA). As a starter I had the smoked Bürste which tasted extremely good. Smoky, creamy and a little paprika touch made that simple dish extremely good. Unfortunately they didn’t serve bread with the Bürste (would have been good to empty the plate). The smashed burger was good, had a nice spicy touch thanks to the jalapeño and enough cheese on it. But it was fairly small. Also the patty could have been cooked a little less long. The fries & sauce tasted good, but the dish was a little to small for that price. The restaurant is easily accessible for people in wheelchairs, is perfectly located and nicely decorated. It really makes fun to hangout there. The staff were very friendly (gave me a paper menu cause the website is in Swedish haha) and knew a lot about the gin & beer. I really enjoyed the evening and can totally recommend this place. Especially for the awesome, interesting & local drinks!

Always a good vibe at Guilty Pleasure Café! The menu is fresh and relevant. If you’re grabbing a quick bite.. hear me out the sticky chicken tenders are a must try. Drinks are really well made (big shout-out to the Bloody Mary and the ghost of prince!) and the service is consistently quick and friendly. It’s no surprise the place is always buzzing with people it hits the sweet spot between cozy and cool. A real gem in Umeå. Definitely worth a visit!

A very popular place in town that perhaps doesn't quite live up to it's popularity. The interior is nice enough and the staff is very relaxed and friendly. The 'order digitally at the table' thing drags down the overall feeling of the service a bit, even though it probably is much more efficient. The wine comes in a small 15cl standard, with the option of 25cl or an entire bottle. The food is fine but not great. The Ceasar salad came with crispy fried chicken which seems like an odd although interesting choice. It perhaps doesn't really improve upon the tried and true recipe but at least is a bit playful and has the right intent. Overall seems a bit hyped up if you compare the quality to the length of the queue outside.
Linus L — Google review
The non-alcoholic Bloody Mary and jalapeño grilled cheese close to perfect. Everything else “meh.” Wrong sides delivered, chips cold, salad drowning in vinaigrette, blueberry pancakes had been sitting for a long time. Plus miserable Swedish approach to service, unnecessarily long wait outside because there’s only one person bussing tables, no menus; whole restaurant full of Ellen staring at their phones. 👎
James B — Google review
As others have mentioned it’s touch and go with the staff members. Some are more lively and welcoming than others, but both serving personal pushed in the building door as I was going outside. I know Sweden is not great on smiling and greeting, but restaurants should teach kids to give way for customers and make eye contact. Letting people out a door before you go in is basic manners. We also asked for the shade to be drawn when the sun moved onto us, a staff member answered “yes” and disappeared forever. We didn’t order deserts and left. The food was interesting- tuna salad was mostly grains and little greens, my eggs royale was renamed to salmon Benedict which made me chuckle. The sauce was cold. The English muffin wasn’t really that and instead some very soft bread that wasn’t enough of a base for all the protein. The lemon water was out. All in all it’s a nice enough place in a nice location.

This place has a great vibe and is what I sould call "casual upscale". As a vegan it's risky going somewhere where you don't know the menu, but the staff was super helpful and I got a yummy paprika soup with nuts, and my partner had the vegan avocado ginger salad (YUM!). Fair prices for quality and location, alright cocktails too. Only problem was that new staff seemed to need more training, but they were still very nice. Recommended!

A bit hard to find inside the shopping centre, this cafe has a nice and relaxing atmosphere with some of the better interior design in town. Unfortunately the food isn't on par with the furnishings as is readily apparent from the photos taken during my visit. The Ceasar salad was fine but had some questionable sandwich meat instead of bacon and quite dry and tasteless croutons. For the price it was one of the more disappointing Ceasar salads I've had. The house white wine was very good though and the service was fine. I visited during lunch hour on a Saturday, so the cafe was quite empty. From reading other reviews this might vary quite a lot. I probably wouldn't eat here again but would definitely go for the relaxing atmosphere during off hours and a glass of wine.

What a horrible experience I just received. Ordered food, and arrived at the restaurant around 10mins just after ordering (came 5 mins early before the food was supposed to be ready). Yet upon receiving the food, felt it with my hands as I noticed it wasn't hot, nor warm, but cooler. So straight after did I forward this complaint to staff who kindly bought my food to the back for another, but I did not receive another fresh order as one arrogant manager took over and was already irate that someone would even dare to make a complaint about the temp of the food. His way of handling things was to dump a little meat and sauce on top to hide the food from before, then blame me and throw words at me in attempts to deter me away without allowing me to answer back or elaborate further, to the point he caused a scene and I had to talk to another member of staff. Just because you can't manage how many customers you have doesn't mean that I as a paying customer should receive the heat of your stress. Unprofessional and made me feel very uncomfortable. The manager's arrogance couldn't care less if he lost a customer anyway. The food itself was bland despite the copious amount of sauce on top.

Not a very extensive menu but it changes ever so often. Everything tasted good and felt worthwhile ordering except the rhubarb dessert which I’m sorry to say was... gross.

Some of the best food served in Umeå coupled with a nice and minimalist interior makes Tonka Strandgatan worth a visit. The food is very well put together and the ingredients simple but very high quality. Unfortunately at the time of this visit the service was a bit so-so. Staff that seemed very new or inexperienced and some questionable choice of glassware and tableware took down the experience somewhat. The placement of tables also made it difficult to get in and out of the seats, making the entire place feel a bit cramped. The wines were fine but nothing special. We also had pre-dinner cocktails, one of which were very nice; called Jalla Jalla with mezcal and chili. We were all very happy with our food so overall it was definitely worth a visit.

Sticky floors had me as soon as i entered the restaurant/seating area. (Feet stuck to the floor when standing still, whilst walking it sounded "clack clack" When we got our table, old nachos and other crumbs were all over the floor around our table. The drink station had ants on it. The meat (Oxfilé) was below average and not really tasty at all, every piece was either close to raw or to well done. From the taco buffet the nachos where soggy. In general a very very poor presentation, and food NOT worth the 300 SEK you had to pay. I will never go back and i couldnt really recommend anyone else going there either.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful dining experience, look no further than Harry's! Every Saturday, they serve up a scrumptious brunch platter that caters to all tastes, including vegetarian options and an enticing dessert table. During my visit, I stumbled upon this gem while searching for vegetarian and vegan fare. The menu outside caught my eye with three dishes that piqued our interest. Despite the bustling atmosphere, we quickly found a table and ordered at the bar; our food arrived in no time!
Surprisingly, we ended up eating here while looking for vegetarian and vegan restaurants. On a whim we checked their menu outside the door and found 3 dishes that the 3 of us wanted to try. Even though it was quite busy we snagged an empty table and after a short wait ordered food at the bar as directed. The food came quickly. The food itself was very good! Highly recommend checking out their veggie options for anyone so inclined.

The taste and setup is definitely italian, I will say their pizza is pretty legit italian with nice dough and nice stretching technique, olive oil is always ready for you 👌. Overall in Umeå you cannot ask for more than this if you're an Italian imo.

Best pizza in Umeå. They take their stuff seriously and deliver with the same quality every time. And sometimes they have very young people at the service desk and they provide excellent service, im impressed. I only tried 1 pizza di avola (or something) and 1 pasta because Im scared of not getting something as good! But been there 10+times.

During my recent visit to Umeå, I had the pleasure of dining at Bastard Burgers for the second time, and it certainly did not disappoint! Known for their delicious burgers made from fresh, homemade patties, this place stands out in the burger scene. The atmosphere is unique and inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal. I highly recommend trying their dips—especially the outstanding Bastard and truffle mayo.
At Bastard Burger for the first time and tried their own Bastards Burger meal. Great meat patty and perfectly assembled burger, very tasty. Loved the fries too. This place lives up to the other positive Google reviews, even on a slow Sun afternoon.

The food was amazing and personally love the Oreo Shake. Bathrooms are clean and the atmosphere in the restaurant is very unique and well executed. Only downside this time was the self serve stations that have apparently been causing issues with the orders which caused the friendly staff to assume my order had been wrong and tried correcting it. It all worked out in the end tho and the food was great

Nestled in the heart of Umea, Ramen Kafe is a delightful haven for lovers of authentic Japanese cuisine. This charming eatery boasts an impressive menu filled with freshly prepared dishes that transport you straight to Asia.

The standout items include their crispy karaage and delectable sushi rolls, which are hard to find elsewhere in Sweden.

Unpopular opinion: While this is one of the most liked places in Umeå and with that I thought to try it. I took the Vegan Ramen bowl, it was not bad but not over the top either. The soup/curry had some mix taste but you have option to enhance the spice level if you want. Since it is small place, it could feel bit congested to some. But with all said, I may not go again. However, don’t judge as it was Vegan and you get some strong taste with tofu and all but other than this they have so many options like Non-veg bowls, Sushi and others which could be tried as well

I thought the ramen was actually quite good and being able to eat it outside in the chilly weather made it even more enjoyable. The buzzer system was a bit weird. Why give me a buzzer if you’re going to bring it to my table anyways? I digress.

I have visited here multiple times now- alone as well as with friends. Located right in the heart of Vasaplan. I love the ramen they serve.

Upon seeing the menu, I wanted to get all the sides but when I saw the other tables, I figured not to get everything because the ramen servings are HUGE!!!! I still got the tempura and karaage and both of them are very good! Mind you, there are very few places in Sweden that serve chicken karaage! The ramen comes in a big bowl - a very generous serving - it is a good ramen! It is in a central location and has perfect and clean interior. A must try restaurant in Umeå definitely!

The staffs here are very friendly. The serving was a little bit slow but the food was great. Ramen was good and tasty. We ordered a side dish (the salmon belly) which for me was just perfect as a starter. I had a nice experience and would love to eat here again on my next visit.

Dinner for 3. Unassuming from outside, once you're in they managed to create a very good decor and keep an even better vibe going. We found the food to be largely, with very small and careful adaptation to European tastes (and regulations). You're invited to use your hands to eat, silverware available on request. Good selection of African, international and local beers and wines. Cocktails done well. Staff exceedingly friendly and helpful. Prices very reasonable. An unexpected and wonderful experience in northern Sweden.

There's so many people here all the time. The food was good and the portions are enormous. The staff speaks English so you shouldn't worry about that if you don't speak Swedish. The prices are great and they serve a coffee that they roast there, imported from Ethiopia. We enjoyed it a lot, service can be a bit slow so don't go there in a hurry, again, this is because of how many people they have. They are vegetarian and vegan friendly as well.

The two of us that went are both vegan so we checked when we walked in and were assured that they had some great options and we weren't disappointed ! we were kindly offered a complimentary starter, and went for a five dish sharer plate main which was full of the tastiest, lightly spiced and filling food we could hope for. would highly recommend as an exceptional vegan option in umea, and for non-vegans too of course ! the team were also very polite and friendly. shame it's a 14 hour trip from us otherwise we'd be regulars !

I personally had a very nice experience. The server was really kind and even told me how to make some of the dishes when I asked about it. I read in the comments that some complained about the portion being too small and that the food being too bland. Regarding the portion, I ordered the "small" meat stew with 2 other side dishes and a piece of bread. They said that you could get a refill of some of the dishes, but for me, the portion I got was enough, thus not needing a refill. What I needed to refill was my water cup. I could tolerate the spiciness, but definitely needed some water (I'm quite weak but like spicy food). For people who have grown up eating more authentic Pakistani food, the spiciness probably isn't there. But for people who grew up in Sweden, the spiciness is enough for the majority.

Called up the restaurant and ordered (in broken English... my Swedish is terrible) and they delivered within 30mins. Payment was taken by Swish when they delivered! Beware that pizzas are not cut into slices, which is apparently a thing in Sweden, though it makes no sense. Awesome service from Angen, quicker & cheaper than Foodora. Very happy.

Best pizza place in Umeå. But also most expensive. One of their pizzas has 24k gold flakes on top (have to be ordered a few days in advance to get the other ingredients like beluga caviar etc). Staff is nice as long as you don't point something out or correct them in some way - they are easily offended. It's best to eat in the restaurant, because it has happened several times for me when I opt to bring the food home that when I get home I discover one or several ingredients missing. So if you take the pizza home, check first that it's all there.

Had a delicious pizza here, the larger sized calzone! Maybe not quite as large as I had thought, so I’m glad I chose it over the regular one.

What an exquisite experience! From the concept to execution of everything. First off, visually great and very comfortable. Each and every drink was BANGING, the staff was very professional and technically adept, friendly and just fantastic in all manners. Their approach of using only swedish ingredients on first glance looks like it should be debilitating but it elevates everything I tasted. Their genius solutions for things that most of us take for granted like lemons really help making this place a must visit and revisit. Talk to the staff, ask questions because they have answers. Interesting answers. My hat is off for them for sure. I only wish they accepted Ostrobotnia as historically or honorary swedish...
