After opening in late 2019, LU by Luong Lu and his mother Kim Trinh has become a go-to for Cantonese-inspired Chinese street food. Since its expansion to Stockholm, evenings now offer a more experimental menu alongside classics such as grilled duck and mapo tofu, also featured on the lunch menu.
Opened in 2025, Byn quickly won over locals with generous portions, high-quality cooking and flavour-packed compositions on the plate. The menu explores a neo-Asian take on street food, combining several cuisines and tying them together through a refined and elevated approach.
The fishing huts at Fiskehoddorna may not immediately reveal the great fish and chips and fried herring hidden within—but that’s because locals are already enjoying them nearby in their backyard seating. On sunny days, expect long queues for their delicacies, though it’s always worth the wait.
If there is one who dares to challenge classic Italian pizza culture, it’s Sandra Mastio at Mastio. Here, the classic Margherita is reinvented as “Maggan,” while unexpected combinations—once unthinkable on a pizza—are brought to life on a crafted dough. A bold and welcome addition to the scene.
Opened by chef Matan Levy together with partner Charlotte Nycander as a hummus pop-up concept, it has since grown into its own standalone restaurant. At Two Forks, hummus still anchors the lunch menu, while evenings bring a more full-fledged offering. Always with a focus on local ingredients.
The smaller the kitchen, the better the pasta. Papi has become the go-to spot for honest, high-quality pasta dishes. During busy lunch rushes it can feel chaotic, but sitting at the bar and watching the kitchen in motion is part of the experience. Always offering a weekly special on the menu.

The name means “400 degrees,” the heat of the oven that turns out crispy pizzas fast. Lunchtime is the highlight: a weekday buffet of three pizzas that change daily, plus pasta.

Started in 2019 as a boutique by Gonzalo Granados and Celina Fagerström, selling homemade tortillas and Mexican imports, it has evolved into a refined taqueria in its third iteration, where head chef Anton Egorov leads a focused kitchen, using a wood-fired oven and taming the fire to his advantage.
“Sort of Asian” defines the kitchen at Pink Head, now a Malmö institution. Known for biang biang noodles, ramen and dan dan alongside house-made creations, it started as a pop-up, moved into Malmö Saluhall, and later grew into its own space. The menu now stretches beyond hand-pulled noodles.
At Scandwich, you’ll get anything but a basic sandwich. Here, the concept is maximised with bold flavour combinations and fillings packed to the brim—often to the point where the bread barely shows. The menu changes regularly, with their iconic schnitzel sandwich as a Monday staple.

“Where Punjab’s soul gets life.” At Kontrast, Indian street food takes centre stage with a wide range of dishes to choose from — from classics like pakoras and pani puri to richer curry dishes such as vindaloo. Best experienced with friends and family over multiple plates.
