adorable restaurant annex a herbal garden, just a few kilometers north of Visby town. great out door seating, with sea view, Extremely friendly staff
Reviewed By Reslysten54
Both indoor and outdoor seating is available, but your best experience will be on a nice summer day when you can sit outside and enjoy the sea view.The menu features Swedish and international dishes. I went for the traditional fried Baltic herring with mashed potatoes. For health reasons I rarely add salt to food, but this time I actually felt it necessary. With that addition, it was a delightful dish. My wife's feta salad also got high marks.Next to the restaurant there is a small store with beautiful displays of various food products. A great place to shop for dinner gifts.Beyond the small garden, there is a small path leading down to the rocky shore. Not a great place for swimming, but plenty of fresh air.

Walking along the Visby waterfront, we first noticed the large yellow building marked Bjorkander, then saw a large menu board out front among the tables. It was very windy so we decided to dine inside. After sitting for several minutes and seeing customers approaching the bar, I did the same. We chose joda's fish and chips with peas and I selected from several draught beers, paid with credit card, and were given an order number with the receipt. I picked up a beer and a glass of water from the pitchers on a side table, then watched the cook from our table. Our hot food soon arrived with tartar sauce and I asked for ketchup. Everything was delicious, the restaurant attentive and we used the clean restrooms before departing. Great stop for 184SEK= ~$21.

We had our first dinner in Visby here at Wallers. Wallers is at the main street of the old town. The long and windy street is full of shops and restaurants. It is alwaus busy with walking tourists . So sitting outside during the beautiful summer nights of Visby is an unforgettable experience. The food was very good. I had the smoked fish for starters. My main was the grilled lamb.Service was excellent.

We were there on Midsummer night and it was not as crowded as we had expected. However, we had a reservation for 8 and a nice table was set for us. Our menu was set and it included a salad, a steak and a chocolate dessert. The meat was a bit tough in my view but tasted good. Our server was courteous, friendly and professional. We had a good evening.

We chose a table indoors for dinner as it was a cool and windy evening, but surprisingly we were the only guests indoors (there were also a few in the outdoor area). The indoor area is both a shop and a restaurant. The staff was very nice and as a starter to share he suggested the tapas plate from the deli section of the menu (the menu section of starters only contained a few dishes, but the deli section contained several more, and the waiter explained that those deli plates could also be had as starters). The tapas plate contained Skagen mix (prawn and mayo salad), salami, pâté, artichoke, olives, manchego cheese, sourdough bread, olive oil, and it was very good and tasty. The bread was not the ordinary type but delicious sourdough bread and the waiter said that if we wanted more bread we could just ask for it, which we did. We had fish soup as main course, which was served with aioli and sourdough bread, and it was also very tasty. With each main course there was a recommendation of a wine that would match the food. The wine list was quite small, but the recommended one matched the fish soup very well. Although this place looks more casual than other fancy restaurants in Visby, the quality of the food is very good and we definitely recommend this restaurant.

This is a really big outdoor restaurant, but it is as nice as it looks at the pictures. Nice bar to sit in and wait until your table is ready and of course they have the drinks you want. We tried the fish they had, and it was delicious. Very good accessories and we got recommended a wine that was superb with the food. If you are afraid of some rain, there is no problem, it was plenty of parasols and small roof to keep you dry, but this year there have not been raun for 100 days...

This culinary gem is serving family-style dishes of outstanding, inspirational quality. We had 8 of them and wished we could have tried them all. We heard that Gotland has great chefs - but we never would have thought to get this amazing food. The owner-couple could open a restaurant anywhere in the world and would be successful. And by the way: Leave room for the mouthwatering desserts.

Visbys nicest livingroom, where you will be pampered both in the restaurant and at the bar. G:a Masters offer a pleasant combination of creative food preparation and a relaxed bar atmosphere. In the summertime, there are tables outside, right at the heart

Had some trouble to make up my mind when booking a birthday dinner for 2 in Visby. Finally I booked g:masters and Iâm very happy for this. Personal, swift and good service throughout the evening. Starting with a âspecial â drink, followed by âLöjromâ as starter a bottle of good Amarone and Entrecôte! All tasty and cooked professionally and with heart! Ended by sharing Bruleeâ and a plater with cheese. A perfect evening in a relaxed atmosphere. Worth to note the good music, in the right volume, you hear it so it is making the atmosphere good, but do not take over!

Warning! The herring was totally overfried, to dry to eat, and an extremely tiny dollop of lingonberry jam. The fish soup equally disappointing. Like dishwater with unrecognizable pieces of fish and almost without flavour. When telling our friends about this awful meal they too had had exactly the same experience with the same dishes last year!

We biked out from Visby to have lunch here. Unbeknownst to us, it was Motherâs Day Sunday in Sweden, so they were extremely busy! They were very gracious, however, to the Canadians who just showed up and we were able to eat at the tables outside. Although it was brisk, in the sunshine with the lap blankets provided it was quite nice. The food was outstanding - really, really delicious and prepared to perfection. I had the beet salad with shaved lamb which was an amazing farm-to-table dish. We also had a chance to visit the farm shop and chat with the owner who was working in the greenhouse. This place has a good vibe/energy and we felt lucky to have been able to experience it. Tack sÃ¥ mycket! Tack sÃ¥ mycket! It was so nice to see you! It is amazing to meet guest from so far away, it really makes the world smaller! I am pleased you liked your stay at Lilla Bjers, and I also hope you will have a wonderful stay on Gotland. Welcome back again someday! / Margareta Hoas
