Ate here. I had the lamb. It was delicius.. Though the price range on TripAdvisor is 60-180SEK. I paid around 300 SEK for the lamb and a coke. Nice cool atmosphere ! Friendly service. Nice "exotic" things on the menu, like Frog legs etc. :-)

A small place, busy, with the character of a café, and a limited menu, but with really excellent food and service. I ordered the lamb, and as someone who eats lamb a lot, I can honestly say I've never tasted better. Real melt-in-the-mouth quality, just right. The waitresses were very pleasant and friendly, and service was fast. A touch pricey,... More

Last week, I made a reservation @ Bistro Merlot, as it was my birthday, the owner gave me a very warm welcome and sugessted me to take the lamb as main course. The lamb was delicious, so good, it melted in my mounth, so good. This is something when you are in the area, you have to taste. Once again,... More

Small and nice place. Very friendly staff, even when the restaurant was filled with customers, the waitor still was attending to our table in the corner. The food was great, with a very nice presentation. Located near the main street. Only dislike, if important to you, is that the view from the restaurant is into a boring crossing street from... More

Been here several times during my visits to Goteborg and I have never been disappointed . Good food and drinks for a fair price. Nice to sit , only inside as the terrace is not very big . But recommendable and You should try it too.

I was recommended this by a friend of mine who lives in Gothenberg. It was a little over priced but the food was really good and the staff were great. I would recommend this to anyone and I will be back again.

Despite many very positive reviews on this bistro, we were not very pleased with it... It was crowded, busy and very cramped. I felt like stepping in to a couples meal when waiting in line for the toilet... The service was just average. The food was ok, but the chicken was dry and the potato mash tasted and felt like...

My wife and I were quite excited to eat at one of Göteborg's top 10 restaurants, and after trying the amazing Moon Thai (20th place) a few evenings ago, we really had high expectations. Food was tasty, and service was good. The merlot (house chosen) was so so... should have ordered a c.s. instead. The dessert was very tasty, the... More
