Malmö is a multicultural city offering a fine mix of cuisines. Plentiful kebabs and falafels for less than 20kr are the best budget option. For good traditional Swedish fare, head for Rådhuskällaren (Stortorget 1, 79020), in the vaulted cellars of the town hall on Stortorget. The stylish restaurant Hipp (Kalendegatan 12, 974030, www.hipp.se) offers French-Swedish cuisine in magnificent surroundings, and after dinner you can wander into its nightclub to check out the in-crowd. Elsewhere in town, 1 ROK (St Pauli Kyrkogata 11, 302024, www.1rok.se), whose initials stand for ‘one room and a kitchen’, is a high-class brasserie serving a mix of Swedish and international cuisines; it’s popular and reasonably priced, so book ahead. Caramello (Stortorget 25, 304370, www.caramello.se) is Malmö’s first proper lounge bar. It has an excellent restaurant with, by Swedish standards, great prices, while the trendy Maguro Sushibar (Östra Förstadsgatan 15, 304242, www.maguro.se) proves that Malmö can do sushi as well as meatballs. In the Malmö Konsthall, Smak (St Johannesgatan 7, 505035, www.smak.info) offers innovative cuisine at modest prices.
