Hangout venues with stimulating dining experiences

Hygge

Sustainability and a relaxed atmosphere are the focus at the fascinating Hygge crêperium (swe) External link, opens in new window. in Tylösand. Sit here with your feet in the sand and enjoy exquisite galettes and crêpes, each prepared in their own very different way along with inspiration from halländska and Danish cuisine.

It’s not only the cuisine that is inspired by our neighbouring country. The phenomenon “hygge” is as Danish as smørrebrød, and can be described as a cosy and warm atmosphere in which one takes it slow, savouring the good things in life together with people they enjoy being with. It is this particular feeling that Lisette and Christian, the proprietors of Hygge, want to achieve. Both of them are equally passionate about ensuring they use only excellent quality raw materials, which is evidenced on their menu that is coloured by local food sourced from producers with a focus on sustainability. For this very reason, the menu changes as each new season arrives and the dishes are composed based on the raw materials available at any particular moment.

Zigges Garage

Cozy, cosily crowded. and completely unlike anything else. At the small tapas and cocktail bar Zigges Garage (swe), External link, opens in new window. you can enjoy Spanish cuisine appetizers tapas and pintxos cooked with love along with innovative cocktails shaken or stirred to perfection. The inspiration is of course drawn from Spain, but Apostolos Kalaitzis and his staff are also inspired by the interaction that arises around the dining table.

The mood is beautifully relaxed and the decor breathes a mix of playfulness and simplicity, where old colourful oil barrels act as tables. Every Friday, an aperitivo, the Mediterranean equivalent of “Happy Hour” after work. At the bar counter, genuine Spanish cuisine appetizers are presented on large barrels and in small bowls, precisely as one would find at a tapas bar in Spain. If you visit Zigges restaurant & tapas bar during the summer months you really must finish off the evening at their rooftop bar with its beautiful views of the Nissan river, with a stimulating drink in hand.

Söderfamiljen

Just as the name suggests, you are met here by a friendly and affectionate atmosphere in which creativity flows and the love of the food permeates everything. The guests like to socialise with others here, preferably beyond the table boundaries. Johanna Norström and My Djurberg, the young women behind Söderfamiljen, External link, opens in new window. find joy in creating a lovely moment for their guests and seeing the interaction and interplay between the food and people. Inspiration for the atmosphere, the decor and the food comes from all over the globe and they often pick up ideas and tastes from their own travels.

The menu changes according to mood and season, but is always filled with good dishes cooked from locally-sourced organic, high-quality raw ingredients. What do you think about meat from Wapnö, organic vegetables from Sättåkra, and cheese from Kvibille? Whether you’re looking for a cosy fika snack, a well-composed lunch, or a full evening with dinner and natural wine, you can always count on Söderfamiljen.

Tivolikiosken

My Feldt’s colour-crackling Tivolikiosk (swe) External link, opens in new window. resembles nothing else. With a mix of Alice in Wonderland and Willy Wonka, a visit to the Tivoli kiosk is like sneaking into just that— a Tivoli fun fair. The equally bubbly and wonderfully quirky environment consists of everything from checkered floors and popcorn machines to pennants and candy canes on the ceiling.

The venue has both a candy maker and pizza oven, with a menu offering an organic locally-sourced delicious lunch for those who are super hungry or luscious buns and beautiful pastries for those simply craving a bit of pastry for a snack. If you only want to hang out, there’s a perfect corner for sitting and playing card games or board games together.
