One of the best spots in central Gothenburg! Right under the bridge you have an excellent view of the canal - great for a stroll and/or picnic. And, Röda Sten is both an art gallery and bar!

Food Scene
My favourite restaurant Hagabion serves lovely vegetarian food at a good price! Try their "meat loaf" with potatoes, gravy and lingonberry jam, a traditional but spiced up Swedish dish. Hagabion is actually an independent cinema too, and the outdoor bar in the summer is great.

Perhaps one of the first places who started to serve espresso Bar Centro's been a Place where cool cats hang since early 2000's. It's cute, small and Always busy. Since a couple of years ago they also have open at night for natural wines and an italian aperitivo like dinner. This makes this good both for a coffee and a candlelight dinner!

If you've Heard about "fika" - the Swedish must, where one has coffee and a sweet treat - and want to try it out in an historical Environment, go to Ahlströms founded in 1901 and do it the traditional way. Cute old interior and a LOT of sweet things to choose from. One doesn't go here for the coffee though.
