Tonka Strandgatan — Restaurant in Umeå kommun

Some of the best food served in Umeå coupled with a nice and minimalist interior makes Tonka Strandgatan worth a visit.

The food is very well put together and the ingredients simple but very high quality. Unfortunately at the time of this visit the service was a bit so-so. Staff that seemed very new or inexperienced and some questionable choice of glassware and tableware took down the experience somewhat. The placement of tables also made it difficult to get in and out of the seats, making the entire place feel a bit cramped.

The wines were fine but nothing special. We also had pre-dinner cocktails, one of which were very nice; called Jalla Jalla with mezcal and chili.

We were all very happy with our food so overall it was definitely...

Very friendly, laid back and welcoming staff, one gets the feeling that this is a place where people enjoy working. Food is good and reasonably priced. The location/views are gorgeous, with an outdoor seating area overlooking the river. It was a shame that outdoor tables weren’t protected from the sun however when we were there as the sun was too strong to sit in. Nice with vegetarian options on the menu. Not a very extensive menu but it changes ever so often. Everything tasted good and felt worthwhile ordering except the rhubarb dessert which I’m sorry to say was... gross. The crumble had a strange aftertaste as if the butter had been out in the fridge with other food and there was something crystally as if the sugar...

Very good restaurant, comparable to and competitive with the better European restaurant. The degustation menu is of high quality. Surprising tastes, rich textures and perfect temperatures. The same applies for the vegetarian menu, which is also available. The suggested customized wines are in very good balance with the food. Both food and wines come for a very affordable price. Impeccable service, nice people and a contemporary cozy atmosphere. In short, if you want to eat out in Umeå, this is really one of the places you should visit, if you are interested in...
