My boyfriend and I were in Malmo last weekend as a
little city get away. It was a lovely little break in such a beautiful city
(Check out my Instagram photos and see for yourself).

On our final night we
decided to head out to a nice restaurant in the town. The lonely planet guide that
we had, suggested Arstiderna i Kockska Huset. In the guide the restaurant is
described as a €€€ Swedish restaurant that serves meals in the vaults beneath Kockska
Huset, food is upscale Swedish and the atmosphere is classic with crisp white
tablecloths and quietly professional service. So out we went.
We wanted an early dinner (so we could watch the
football YAY!! *not*) and decided to attempt to get a table without booking. When
walking up to the restaurant it is not obvious at first that it is an eatery, but once you venture down the stairs it opens up into the vaults, it looks like
an old wine cellar with curved ceiling and arches. A very friendly man helped
us and took us to our table with was nice, not too close to any others and
beautifully laid. We were given menus and left to make a decision. After ordering
drinks we were ready to order mains. There was a nice choice on the menu, not
too much but a nice selection with Swedish specialties as well as more standard
meals. Jack went for the veal and I decided to try the reindeer. While waiting
for the meals we were given some warm bread and then a nice little appetizers, which was a nice little touch.

The mains did not take long to
come, there were not many others in the restaurant though. The food was
presented beautifully and the waitress took the time to tell us about the food
that we had. Both meals were delicious and we would both recommend what we had.

Once mains were cleared we decided to have some
puddings, as I have a super big sweet tooth. Again the selection was great and
I was torn between the crème brule and the soufflé. I ended up going for the
Strawberry soufflé, while jack had some truffles. Again both were delicious and
bursting with flavours.

The staff were very friendly, they did speak to us in
Swedish to start (perhaps we looked like locals), however when we apologised and
said we didn’t understand they all were very happy to speak English which they
were all great at (and we appreciated immensely!). In terms of costs this was
not a cheap place to eat, but we knew that before going, with the price of the
meal rounding to about 1000 SKR (£85).
Overall this was a lovely evening out with delicious
food in a great establishment. I would highly recommend to go to Arstiderna i Kockska Huset if you are in Malmo and are looking for a nice place to eat. Here are a couple of photos from the evening:

One Sunday a
couple of weeks ago Jack and I went for a wonder around Columbia Road flower
market and ended up walking to BOXPARK in Shoreditch and after having a wonder
around the restaurants we settled on Porky's BBQ as our lunch spot.
First off
the setting was lovely, once you had gotten used to the rickety benches, it was
inside-outside- esque with heat lamps warming the seating area up, but still
able to watch the outside world, it was really nice.
The waitress
was attentive and came over straight away to offer drinks and suggested a
delicious rum based cocktail as I didn’t know what I wanted and it was so yummy.
We then both ordered the Porky's burger which is a beef burger, topped with
pulled pork, bacon and cheese, as well as a side of sweet potato fries and pork
scratching’s.
The food
came out in good time – but not too quick and it was delicious. The burger was
fresh and the bacon was the perfect crispiness. The sides were great too and
even if you were just there for a snack get the pork scratching as they were
melt in your mouth!
Overall
this was a lovely place to eat and I would thoroughly recommend it. BOXPARK was
also a very exciting place that is well worth a visit and we will be back to
Porky's BBQ again and we will check out the other eateries in the BOXPARK
complex.
