The place I always eat:
The lunch restaurant Värlfärden (translates to wellfare, refers to the swedish socialdemocratic system were wellfare for the people is the motto). Traditional swedish cooking, with a modern touch, always with alternatives of meet/veg/soup. Situated across the street from the institute of education (although sightly overpriced for students) in the officecrowded part of the western harbour.
Where to stay for the night:
Probably on someone’s couch. I think Malmö is best appreciated seen with someone who knows her place around. If no couch is to be found, the hostel “Villa Hilleröd” is nice and fairly central, or the Hilton Hotel in “Triangeln” which should be worth the money, at least judging by sunday brunch.
The one place i take everyone:
“Far i hatten” - restaurant/bar/club in the town park “folkets park” (meaning the people’s park). Far i hatten (meaning dad in the hat) is an old traditional hangout in malmös most popular park, the outdoor seating holds about 350 and is truly magical.The entertainment is top notch; live bluegrass, music quiz, gameshows, jazz and local djs. Everyone is there, this is where to go.
Best local product to try:
Would be the malmö-falafel. Where you in other towns would find a starbucks or mc donalds franschise, in malmö you find a falafel. Affordable and delicious swedish-libanese style fast food.
The 2nd best kept secret:
The surrounding nature. In Sweden, the common idea is that the southern area of the country is flat (= boring), but this is all but true. Drive 20 minutes out of Malmö, or take a bike for about an hour and the landscape will surprise you with its variety.
