Went to Quê for lunch today with three colleagues, upon entry I felt excited as the place was very stylish and had a great vibe. I ordered the beef, and upon arrival, the plates were beautifully garnished - the visuals were definitely on point, so our expectations were high.
Unfortunately the food was ill seasoned. The only taste I felt was cilantro and a very bland soft taste of garlic, and that's from a chimichurri. After remarking this, the waitress was very kind. But was busy with the lunch sitting. There was no spices that we could add ourselves (my colleagues shared the experience), and only at the very end of our meal were we offered a more spicy tangy sauce to improve the experience.
The waitress offered us a gorgonzola cheesecake to make amends, and was extremely accomodating the whole way through. But there's no mistaking. In spite of her explanation that the chef is not experienced with the lunch menu, I can hardly excuse anyone who cooks food as a profession to not taste what they cook to check for levels. And all four of us (ordering 2 different type of dishes) had the same experience.
I understand that in Sweden, many prefer bland food. We're a nation of tasteless national dishes after all, barely touching anything beyond salt & pepper. So my guess is that the palate they were aiming for was simply another target...
Read moreProbably one of my best experience foodwise ever! I have tasted cuisines from Shanghai, Dubai and Vegas but who knew one of my absolute best experience would be in my own backyard Malmö :). I surprised my girlfriend on her birthday in November 2019 and I Will go back again soon. We love well made food with service and care. The staff was very nice and explained everything to us. The serving was very Instagram friendly and you could never guess what the dish was unless you taste, left us curious and the waiter explained it afterwards what the incidents were. The chefs where very friendly and invited us for a sitting for us to see them work over the bar with some drinks and desserts. The atmosphere is cosy and low volume lets you have a good conversation. My best recommendations to this establishment, my best advice is to visit this gem before they move to New York or somewhere else in that class. I put my reputation as a foodie without a doubt on this place. Thank you for making our day something special and we will always...
Read moreFirst of all i must admit,, that i don‘t really like asian food that much, but this restaurant is a culinary discovery for me.
The location is not so great at a busy mainstreet of Malmö, but take a step inside and you are in a very stylish and calm restaurant with a very pleasant atmosphere.
We were very friendly welcome and the service was very professional like the kitchen staff, because they served us two courses directly at a little bardesk by the open kitchen - so we could see the preparation of our meals - absolutely a great experience!
Last but not least the kitchen: best asian products and a explosion of tastes, textures - really wondeful and certainly one of the best vietnamese restaurants in europe!
We have a culinarian adventure at this evening and highly recommend this...
