John Scott’s Palace & Bakfickan — Restaurant in Göteborgs Stad

The place is old and needs updating. It is very big and has so much potential but it is very wasted space. The drinks are expensive and it takes a while before you get served. The owner of this place is against foreign people, he doesn't allow more than a certain amount of foreign music of ANY kind, Latino, African, Asian, Indian.

She gets told "The only place you're going,...

Although cla8ming to have a large selection of beers on tap and bottle, I found myself not too impressed with the selection, although it was ok. I had the fish and chips and I have to admit that it was one of the best I've had. Wonderfully simple with a fresh piece of fish in fresh crispy batter and a side of crispy chips. Though slightly more pricy than an average lunch, I found it filling and the service was excellent. Did not wait more than five or six minutes. This is a place I'd happily go to again, and...
