Saltimporten Canteen — Restaurant in Malmö kommun

Absolutely amazing. Seasonal ingredients, focus on one dish and beautiful atmosphere as well as furniture.

The location is a bit outside, but it really fits the vibe perfectly. We were lucky enough to be there when they served beef tartar, and it was amazing. Great assortment of seasonal ingredients, delicious and flavorful mayo as well as dressings and the beef was incredibly good. Obviously grinded in house, as shown by the large chunks and variations in color.

Bread is plentiful and freshly baked and it was wonderful. You help yourself to as much as you want, which also goes for the water. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and I will definitely come back next time I am In Malmø.

EDIT: Came back a second time and it was just as wonderful as the first time. Please never close this place, because I just initiated a new tradition where I have to visit this place every time I cross the bridge. It’s definitely one of my favorite places ever.

EDIT: Came back now for the third time. This place cannot disappoint. They’re still serving quality seasonal ingredients, they’re still serving fresh meals and they’re still making me as happy as they were the first time I came here. This time I had to tell the chefs. I come all the way from Copenhagen just because of this place. I had a pretty stressful day, and their food completely cured that and gave me a boost of happiness that I needed. The chefs rewarded my kindness with a loaf of their baguette. I hope they never change, Saltimporten Canteen is a national treasure. I can’t wait to come back again. Big love 🫶🏼❤️

EDIT: back for the fourth time.

Always good to be back. This might have become one of my favorite eateries ever. I always try to tell the chefs how much I appreciate eating here, but I think it’s difficult to convey how much I love it. I don’t know why, it’s a canteen… but not to me! To me it’s truly the essence of Nordic cooking. It’s just simple, it’s creative, it’s fresh and it’s tasty. Really the keyword here is just creative. I really really love it, and I recommend it to anyone. I will always always come back whenever I am in Sweden, it’s a must for me. I love the atmosphere, the people working there, the location and of course the food. The food has never disappointed. I hope this treasure keeps going for many years to come. This time we had chicken on a bed of pure with some lentils and salad on top. Once again simple, but the way they’re combining the ingredients and presenting the dish is just top notch as always. Once again, thanks...

I've been coming to this popular lunch spot off and on since it opened. The food has consistently been good, and the friendly staff has always enhanced the experience.

Unfortunately, my visit today was disappointing, which genuinely saddened me, as Malmö doesn't have many good lunch restaurants left.

First of all, the music was far too loud, forcing us to speak uncomfortably loud just to have a normal conversation during lunch. An oversight, perhaps?

Secondly, the vegetarian option listed on their website was completely different from what we were served: sautéed cabbage in a spicy cumin sauce with crème fraîche, for which we paid a whopping SEK 135 (bread and water included, but coffee was not).

I believe this is an exorbitant price for such an unimaginative and unsatisfying vegetarian lunch, which, quite frankly, left me feeling embarrassed on the restaurateur's behalf. I hope this was just another oversight.

It's always hard to criticize a place that has been rightfully successful for many years, but my guests and I felt that today's experience fell short of both our expectations and the restaurant's previously...

Honestly, this was one of the best meals I've ever had. Fresh, high quality ingredients and big portions. The chefs offer 2 choices: a meat dish and a vegetarian dish. Check their website for today's menu. The chefs make Michelin star food for regular people at fair prices!

Here's a guide for tourists: You won't see many tourists due to the location. If you walk, please don't be worried when you walk through the industrial area! Trust me, it's worth walking past the giant warehouses.

1. After entering, do NOT immediately choose a table! Get in the queue.
2. Cut yourself a piece of bread (hold the bread with the cloth napkin).
3. Collect some cutlery and a paper napkin.
4. Order your food.
5. The chefs will start to plate your food. It's now ok for your friends/family to choose a table, but one person should stay to collect the meals (it only takes a few minutes). You will be eating next to strangers, but don't be worried.
6. Collect the food and a jug of water and some glasses.
7. Enjoy the amazing food! 😋
8. When you're finished eating, take the dirty dishes to the counter.
