Restaurants, cafés, and bars in Uppsala
NOTE: We will have copies of this page available at the conference,
but if you want a color copy, you will have to print this map at
your own facilities.
Restaurants (Blue numbers)
Mediterranean folks please note: Most restaurants typically
CLOSE their kitchens at 22:00!
- Le Parc
Torsg. 15
Kostis' comment: Edible food and nice place to sit outdoors if the
weather is good. Other than that, nothing special on the menu.
- Svenssons Krog + Bakficka
Sysslomansg. 15
Kostis' comment: An above average restaurant offering some
nice pasta dishes and a deer specialty.
- Svenssons Taverna
Sysslomansg. 14
Richard's comment: Specialty: very good (and large)
pizzas, semi-deep-pan style.
- Taverna Akropolis
Sysslomansg. 13
Kostis' comment: Pretty decent Greek food (for Sweden, that is).
Only indoors sitting.
- Trattoria Comedia
Skolg. 31/Sysslomansg.
Richard's comment: Fine Italian restaurant.
Kostis' comment: Nice decor, decent and tasty food, but
probably an insult to restaurants in Italy to describe
it as "fine" Italian restaurant...
Recommended nevertheless.
- Alex Vinbar & Kök (Hotel Linné)
Skolg. 45
Kostis' comment: Offers the best selection of wines you can
find anywhere in Uppsala. Beware, the prices per glass
are ridiculous. Prices for dishes are OK though.
- Lingon
Svartbäcksg. 30
Kostis' comment: Traditional and tasty Swedish cuisine.
Recommended if you want Swedish food and the weather
allows sitting outside.
- Jozef
Svartbäcksg. 23
Closed on Mondays
- 1 & 1
Ö. Ågatan 11
- Svenssons Grill
Åkanten
Kostis' comment: A typical grill place. Tables are next
to the river offering a nice view. A bit on the
expensive side considering its quality. Unless you
really want grilled stuff or you want to sit outside,
restaurant #2, which belongs to the same owner, is
probably a better choice.
- Tzatziki
S:t Eriks torg 8
Kostis' comment: This is a Greek restaurant located in very
nice, old, impressive premises (must see actually!).
The food served is OK but nothing special. Food-wise,
there are better alternatives; premise-wise, none.
- Domtrappkällaren
S:t Eriksgränd 15
Kostis' comment: A very classy Swedish restaurant.
Traditional Swedish dishes served here in a nice
environment. Probably the most expensive restaurant
on this list. Recommended, if you can afford it.
- Hambergs Fisk
Fyris Torg 8
Kostis' comment: The best fish restaurant in Uppsala (and
among the best in Sweden!). A bit on the expensive side.
The place to go if you want to eat fish or
seafood.
Jesper's comment: This is a fishy place...
- Wermlandskällaren
Nedre Slottsg. 2
Kostis' comment: I consider it the best restaurant in Uppsala!
(It is considered among the best in Sweden.)
Very nice and tasty Swedish cuisine. A bit expensive but
not ridiculously so and probably worth it.
- Rhodos
Övre Slottsg. 12
Kostis' comment: The Greek restaurant in Uppsala with
the least kitsch-y decor. Considering that it is
located in Sweden and not in Greece, the food is quite
decent. Recommended for those that like "Greek food".
- Atlantis World Kitchen + East West
Dragarbrunnsg. 25
Kostis' comment: Atlantis is the restaurant of Radisson Hotel.
Nouvelle cuisine is mostly served here (in proper
portions, though). A bit on the expensive side but
recommended. East West is a Swedish/Uppsala version
of TGI Fridays. Also recommended.
- McDonald's
Dragarbrunnsg. 29
Kostis' comment: No comment - I've never eaten here!
Jesper's comment: How did this end up in the list?
- Burger King
Dragarbrunnsg. 34
Kostis' comment: No comment here either...
- Rådhussalongen
St. Torget
(This is the restaurant where we have lunches.)
- O'Connor's
St. Torget 1
Richard's comment: Nice pub food and good beer. Fish 'n
chips recommended.
Kostis' comment: The place in Uppsala with the biggest
beer and whisky selection. Other than that,
a typical Irish pub. You know what you should expect.
- Rififi
Kungsängs. 7
Richard's comment: Good pasta and pizza restaurant.
Kostis' comment: Cheap (and quite OK) pasta and pizza
restaurant.
- McDonald's
Smedsgränd 5
Kostis' comment: See my comment on restaurant #17.
Jesper's comment: Another one?!
- Bill & Bull
Smedsgränd 11
Kostis' comment: Nice hip environment. Decent food. OK
prices. Recommended.
- News Café
Dragarbrunnsg. 46
Kostis' comment: Despite its name, it is mostly a bar.
As such, it offers bar food (burgers, fajitas and such).
- Amazing Thai
Bredgränd 14
Richard's comment: Quite good thai food. Service may be slow.
- China Garden + China River
Kungsg. 55 & 57
Richard's comment: China River is a quite decent chinese
restaurant. Specialty: szechuan and indonesian. China Garden
have a decent buffet.
- Wing Sing
Vaksalag. 19
Indonesian, Chinese, Thai, Mongolian Barbecue
- Dragon Palace
Kungsängsg. 20
Richard's comment: The best chinese restaurant in town
(according to some). Also has a separate sushi bar nextdoor.
- Alexander
Ö. Ågatan 59
Kostis' comment: The Greek restaurant in Uppsala with
the most kitsch-y interior decor. If the weather is
good and you can sit outside, go there: the "Greek
dishes" are edible and the menu includes nice,
inexpensive pizzas. Otherwise don't.
- Santorini
Islandsfallet
Kostis' comment: Yet another Greek restaurant with a less
kitsch-y decor. Same recommendation as above, except
that you will not find pizzas on the menu.
- Flustret
Svandammen 1
Kostis' comment: Same as above, but the interior decoration
is Swedish kitsch-y; not Greek kitsch-y. Typical
Swedish menu with Swedish prices.
Cafés (Red numbers)
NOTE: Most cafés typically close at 18:00.
- Ofvandals
Richard's comment: A classic since 1887.
- Café Linné
Richard's comment: Famous for their huge cinnamon buns (but not for much else).
- Hugo's
Richard's comment: Hip and personal place where they care
about coffee.
(However, it's small, often crowded, and service can be slow.)
- Café Lion
Richard's comment: Makes you feel like the old geezer that you are.
- Ekocaféet
Richard's comment: Nice place with an ecological profile.
- Storken
Richard's comment: Old-style swedish café. Good
cakes/pastries and light food.
- Güntherska Hovkonditoriet
Richard's comment: Making very nice cakes and pastries by
royal appointment.
- Landings
Richard's comment: Specialty: home made ice cream.
- Konditori Fågelsången
Richard's comment: Nice café by the bird pond.
Bars (Green numbers)
- Katalin
Godsmagasinet, Östra station
Richard's comment: Nice bar, often with live music. Food
ok, but small servings.
Kostis' comment: Ditto.
- Nope, Uppsala does not have only one bar. Many restaurants
also serve as bars.
From the list above 1,
2, 3, 6, 10, 16, 19, 20, 23, 24, and 31. Enjoy!
General Information
- Most places have menus in English, and those that do not, have
waiters that speak English.
- Only Swedish currency is accepted. However, most restaurants
accept credit cards (VISA & MasterCard).
- You do NOT have to leave a tip (it is included in the prices,
which also include taxes).
Some sort of small rounding (e.g. bill of 187 SEK ==> leave
190 SEK or 200 if very satisfied) is recommended.
