Bistro Mannerström
This is the most appealing and best-recommended steakhouse in Gothenburg, with a reputation for well-prepared Australian beef, and a salad bar that's one of the largest and most varied in town. Inside, you'll find three separate dining rooms.

A Hereford Beefstouw
This place's appeal is due in part to the way in which it celebrates old-fashioned Swedish wholesomeness and husmanskost (home cooking), with a sophisticated and often upscale flair.

Brasserie Lipp
It's a cuisine melting pot that produces such tastes as Lipp's Skagen toast (piled high with shrimp), Swedish entrectte of beef with Dijon mustard sauce, grilled halibut with garlic-tomato sauce, carpaccio of beef, and Thai chicken.

Fiskekrogen
It prides itself on a medley of seafood that's fresh, artfully displayed, and prepared with a zest that's made it a preferred venue for loyal clients throughout the city.

Froken Olssons Café
This local favorite features light cafe dining, with homemade soups and such main courses as entrecôte. It's a popular spot, less than 2 blocks from the Avenyn, that tends to be crowded and noisy at lunchtime.

La Gondola
You'll find the best pizzas in town here, as well as many classic Italian dishes. With its striped poles, sidewalk awnings, and summer outdoor cafe, this restaurant evokes Venice.

Lilla London
The restaurant, down a flight of steps, is dark and attractively designed, with illuminated paintings of clipper ships and nautical accents.
