He's doing breakfast from Espresso house


Where: Espresso House Central station
He ate: White scone with cream cheese, orange juice and espresso
Cost: 49 SEK
Type: Swedish, breakfast

He rated: 6/10

With a long hiatus on dining out in Malmö, my only option would be to grab something to go this morning as I boarded the train to Gothenburg for a metal-infested weekend as my all-time favourite bands are performing here.
So what better than to rate the famous "klassikern" breakfast menu from one of the many espresso houses? What you get for this low price is a small beverage of your choice, a cup of orange juice (fresh-squeezed) and two slices of fresh, juicy scones.
You also have the option to choose, cream cheese or butter to go with it, also included is the raspberry jam and two slices of somewhat tasty cheese.
There is nothing special about this, nor nothing to comaplain about, it is suited for those quick moments when you just feel like reloading for something less than a fortune, other than that craving you sometime might get for these scones.

She's doing dinner at Steakhouse Lilla Torg



Where: Steakhouse Lilla torg, Lilla torg 7
She ate: Elk steak with morel mushroom sauce
Cost: 249 SEK
Type: Swedish, steak

She rated: 9.5/10

This Lilla Torg landmark offers Swedish staples including elk steak. Steakhouse has an authentic Swedish style with brick and wood panelling exterior mix with simple, minimalist modern interior and furnishing. Personally I think that Steakhouse serves the best steak from all of the other Lilla Torg restaurants and I am tempted to say that this could be the best steakhouse in all of Malmo. My elk steak was almost perfect if it was a little more rare and the sauce coupled with grilled vegetables were luscious. The outdoor patio is a perfect place to dine out in Malmo.

She's doing lunch at Malmo Brygghus



Where: Malmo Brygghus, Bergsgatan 33
She ate: Wheat beer burger with coriander and garlic on sesame home made hamburger buns.
Cost: 95 SEK
Type: Swedish, American

She rated: 7/10

Malmo Brygghus is the only local brewery in Malmo. This place had quaint interior with dark rustic wood with brick exterior. The service was friendly and I would definitely go back to do the brewery tour and the chocolate factory tour (located next door). I ordered the burger and was content with the dish. No high fives. The homemade sesame bread buns were superb but the meat patty was dull considering there was beer and coriander in the mix.

I don't know if I would pay another 95 SEK for another burger but for the beer lovers, I would highly recommend this place for the brewery (duh), atmosphere and overall easy going hang out.

PS: On Fridays and Saturdays, they hold a beer tour with tasting menu for 195 SEK. I will send Mr. T there while I devour all the chocolate I can handle next door at the Chocolate Factory (Malmo Chokladfabrik).

He's doing surf 'n' turf at Steakhouse lilla torg


Where: Steakhouse Lilla torg, Lilla Torg 7
He ate: Surf n' Turf
Cost: 289 SEK
Type: Swedish, Steak and seafood

He rated: 10/10

You might have experienced lilla torg and its awesome atmosphere at some of the few nights in Malmö, when it is actually nice enough to sit down outside. This is the best place to get your juicy steak, seared to perfection according to your choice of rare, medium or well-done. Pay a little bit more and you can add half a lobster to your plate and spoil your palate with both surf and turf -deliciousness. The combination of this dish is always a given option when you are wondering to have seafood or steak, imagine this at the prime location in Malmö and with the best possible flavour, and you will come out with this plate.
It comes with a fresh tomato salsa and some really big potatoe wedges and a small container of chili bernaise sauce, which all go really well together with your big crustacean and your awesome piece of meat.
Suffice to say, if you have not eaten here before, go there and get this, only excuse is being allergic to shellfish.

He's doing afternoon beer at Bishop's arms


Where: The Bishop's Arms, Norra Vallgatan 32
He drank: Chimay on tap
Cost: 69 SEK
Type: Beer

He rated: 8/10

If you like stronger beer, distilled to the higher values of alcohol percentages, you probably love trappist beer, and if you like any beer you also prefer that beer on tap.
This was the option presented to me at Bishop's arms and the selection from the vast amount of beer available, turned out to be an easy one as soon as I spotted the chimay label.
The price is roughly double to what systembolaget charges you for the bottled version so to get this for 69 SEK seemed reasonable to me.
The flavour is more sweet but potent, and the lingering flavour tells you you had a quality trappist beer.
I have been living in central Malmö for about one year now, and today was the first day I entered this awesome pub, when leaving my head kept telling me to remember to go back here to try out everything else.

He's doing lunch at Malmo Brygghuset


Where: Malmo Bryghuss, Bergsgatan 33
He ate: Wheat beer burger with coriander and garlic on sesame home made hamburger buns.
Cost: 160SEK (95 SEK burger + 65 SEK beer)
Type: Burger & Beer

He rated: 7/10

Micro brewery in malmö, with a seemingly interesting hamburger menu, valid for june only. So what is there not to like?
The burger landed on my plate in nice presentation, with the tomato and cilantro-infested salsa as well as the dressing on the side, leaving it up to you to decide the amount you want on your burger.
The bread was very tasty and the roasted potatoes on the side was divine when mixed with the dressing.
The only issue I have with this dish, was the the actual meat patty not tasting that much, and they could have brought out the flavours of this beer-basted minced meat better.
I also included a weiss beer from their own brewery, from the tap of course, and that tied the dish together very well.
The good part is that you don't feel sick and regret your choice of having burger for lunch when you are done, and the lingering taste of malmö's own weiss beer makes this dish above average.
