Trendy environment and extra plus för providing dishes for us with allergies. Really nice place, and friendly staff, but unfortunately the fish I received was to much salted and the service to slow. We was allowed to stay för 2 hours and we didn't have time to order dessert or coffee. Why this rush?

Very impressive restaurant in Viktoriagatan with modern décor and a lovely ambience. I had the 7 course tasting menu which contained two fish starters - mackerel and langoustine, a vegetarian course, a cod based main course followed by a beef based main course and finishing with two desserts. I had two glasses of wine rather than the complete wine pairing of 7 glasses. Service was exemplary and I have no hesitation in rating Koka as one of the best restaurants that I visited during my three week tour of Denmark (6 destinations), Oslo and Sweden (6 destinations). Highly recommended.

We arrived 15 minutes ahead of our reservation and was offered a table to the left of the entrance. The menu came after some waiting but was hardly readable based on bad printing. The winelist was on an IPad, but was really disappointing for a restaurant previously known for good wines. We vere served warm water after long waiting, and the neighbor table was so noisy that we could not hear each other. We asked for a new table but got a flat no. They had options...The food was a great disappointment and we had to return one of three dishes. The waiting for service was so bad that we just gave up - no passion from the employees. Based on previous visits and extremely good reviews - this was the actually the worst restaurant we visited in Gothenborg. Huge number of better restaurants now in this very nice gourmet city...Hej Ståle,We are very sad to hear that you hade such terrible visit. We always strive our best for to give our guest a nice visit.We were fully booked this Saturday and there for we didn't have any tables for you to change to. For the wine list please inform us what you find lacking, we have nearly 400 different wines on our list. But was it any certain area you found lacking?As for the food we offered to change it for a new one or that you both could change for one of our other dishes. But you declined.Att the end of the evening we even gave a discount on the bill.We will of course think of how we can improve for the future.Kind RegardsDaniel Gremlin

Sat down and waited a few minutes for service. Ordered a Colata Salada, Pasha mix, vegetarisk Tallrisk for myself and my wife to share.The salad that they brought was probably about 20% parsley, and I canât even explain how small it was.Despite the vegetarian dish stating that it came with broccoli and some other vegetables, they added their own vegetables. They didnât have any broccoli and the other ones that were stated there despite not telling us anything when they delivered the very small portion of vegetables.On the combination platter, pretty much everything on the plate other than the lamb chop was less than mediocre. The chicken was completely dry and rubbery, The sliced potatoes instead of being potentially well done and hard like chips, were soft. My wife and I felt that other than the lamb chop, none of the meats were better than mediocre. Seriously, the best part of the meal was the ice water. I wouldâve given a one star rating, but because the server brought out the food and drink promptly, I am begrudgingly giving it 2 starsI had made a reservation through the Fork, which said there was a 20% discount for doing so. That shouldâve been my first warning: discounting food. Anyway, since they didnât come over timely in my opinion to get my check in spite me attempting to wave him down, I went up to pay and the owner/manager? He Quoted me the full 100% until I reminded him that I came in through that reservation (which he then took off the 20%.)Anyway, by far my least favorite or the least favorite dining experience in Sweden.

Excellent dinner with lovely wine pairings. The service was excellent. I had the vegetarian based set menu (not because I am vegetarian but it was so lovely of a dinner). Make a reservation, it is small and gets really busy, we couldn't get in, but made a rsvp for the next night and had a lovely dinner.

In Berzekigatan in Gothenburg there is a nice neighborhood pub called Barrique. We have booked a table and the restaurant is completely full of people. We are met by the world's nicest waitress. She gives us a strong sense of being awake. We start the meal with a glass of Gosset Grand Reserva and get a sense of pure happiness. We decide on a five course and a wine menu. All the dishes were perfect. Fois Gras was heavenly and with the right wine. I am happy. We also get a potato dish with truffle, veal, and many good salads. This is perfect combined to the wine. With perfect service, great atmosphere, and a nice conversation with the restaurant's owner, Frederik, this was great evening for us. One of the best meals I have tasted In a long time. If you are going to have a perfect evening to strengthen your marriage - call now! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

We had a lovely dinner a la carte on our weddingday and where met with a warm welcome and a relaxed athmosphere .A tasty snack and a glass of Bollinger champagne before our 3 dishes a which were accompanied with several lovely surprises from the kitchen . Thank you very much :O)The homemade bread was second to none.The starter: warm asparges with "caviar" was a disappointment. We could not hardly see the "caviar". In that case too expensive.But all in all we certainly enjoyed our evening very much and will come back when we are visitting Gothenburg again. See you Lis and BjoernThank you for your review, I'm sorry to hear that the vendace roe from Kalix was a disappointment. We hope to see you next time you're in Gothenburg!//Thörnströms Kök
