Blekinge's Best

...according to White Guide and other experts

Café Mandeltårtan

Ronneby

Here, you'll find almond cakes and other delicious pastries, made with organic ingredients. The coffee is brewed from carefully selected beans from the very best roasteries. New for 2019 is their own bakery where magical bread is rising and baking, and more substantial options on the brunch and lunch menu. The café is located in the lush Brunnsparken, in one of the beautiful old wooden villas with a glass veranda and a large dose of charm. The interior is both tastefully thought-out and homely.

Ritz Konditori

Sölvesborg

Real butter, genuine vanilla, and quality chocolate. You can always count on getting these when you buy pastries from Ritz konditori, a White Guide favorite for several years. Magical Levain bread, buns, and baguettes are other examples of culinary craftsmanship from this institution at Stortorget in Sölvesborg. Hearty sandwiches, salads, and sandwich cakes satisfy the hungry, and if you want to ensure success at your parties, order the cake from Ritz.

Restaurant Havsörnen

Karlshamn

It's no surprise that there is high-class food at Eriksberg. It feels entirely logical that Restaurant Havsörnen uses the pantry available on the estate – the forest, lakes, sea, and garden, as well as the best ingredients from the local area and some long-distance ingredients. Only the best is good enough if you want to create well-prepared gourmet food with that little extra. And that's the goal here! The environment is elegantly sober, and the view over the savannah is magnificent.

Treat yourself to a complete experience at Eriksberg in Blekinge with the White Guide reputation.

Systrarna Lindqvist Café & surdegsbageri

Karlskrona

This is an eco-certified bakery and café that doesn't cut corners. Everything is made from scratch with good ingredients, and the sourdough bread is made with their own rye sourdough. The couple running the business have several glittering medals from the Swedish Championships in culinary craftsmanship, and their buns have been crowned the best in Karlskrona multiple times – in 2012, 2014, 2015, and 2018. The café has a cozy, old-fashioned style with mismatched cups and a nice atmosphere.

Wägga Fisk & Delikatessrökeri

Karlshamn

This is a Blekinge classic that has secured a place in the hearts of many guests from near and far. The menu includes freshly fried fish, smoked delicacies, and seafood favorites like wine-cooked blue mussels and other well-prepared seafood dishes, enjoyed by the dockside at Vägga fishing harbor. It's a good idea to buy a smoked delicacy or two from the smokehouse shop and to check out the catering menu's fish and seafood platters when you need to cater for a crowd.

Antonio´s

Karlskrona

Lots of amore! It's from the love for Karlskrona and Italy that Antonio’s was born. Here, on Borgmästarkajen in central Karlskrona, people can meet and enjoy the view over the bay, be inspired by good drinks, Neapolitan pizza, fresh pasta, and other favorites from the Italian kitchen. And the ice cream served is, of course, locally produced gelato.

White Guide says this about the experience: "With delicious homemade pasta and lots of amore, Antonio’s has won the hearts of the people of Karlskrona. A sober glass veranda, polished brass, and a white marble counter make the environment breathe more Milan than Naples, but the pizzaiolo has just moved here from Naples, and the margherita comes with flavorful San Marzano tomatoes and creamy mozzarella. Soft and chewy... Antonio’s menu is inspired by southern Italy's long family dinners with a string of delicious dishes, from antipasto to dolce."

Vinberga Vinkiosk

Karlskrona

It's personal and simple. It's heartfelt, relaxed, and well-prepared. The focus is on flavor, cleverly teased out from each of the locally and regionally produced ingredients. And the wine, of course. The kiosk has grown into a dining room and bar, but the core idea and feeling remain the same. Want to know what to expect from Vinberga? The White Guide taster gives you a vivid picture:

"The menu is fixed, applies to everyone around the table, and is far from filled with easily earned points. Elias in the kitchen highlights the season and mixes wildly, like when a tender grilled squid from Kattegat meets sweet-bitter chicory and wild cabbage on a bed of creamy Catalan romesco sauce made from the season's last tomatoes from Nättraby and Marcona almonds. The finish – plum curd and a dollop of ricotta from Solbacka milk – is just sweet enough and a bit grown-up – just like the new Vinberga."
