The server was polite and the dessert truly memorable, but the meal stumbled well before then. The…read moreshrimp appetizer was disappointing: several were tough to peel, the flesh tightened and rubbery, and once shelled, none stretched longer than a thumb knuckle. Twenty-five minutes later--long after my beer and starter were gone--the salmon finally arrived. The server's nervous air and furrowed brow only underlined what was to come: the fish was dry, salvaged only by a squeeze of lemon, and I ate what I could out of hunger. I hadn't planned on dessert, but after rubbery, undersized shrimp and parched salmon, I took the chance. That gamble redeemed the evening: a warm slice of saffron cake with berries and whipped cream--absolutely sublime, the kind of dish that lingers in memory. What didn't linger was attentiveness. Not once was I asked if I'd like another drink. In my experience, American service already lags behind much of the world, but here it felt perfunctory. And yes, the preset gratuity suggestions starting at 15% seemed more tourism than hospitality.

We were hungry looking for food - and stumbled upon this restaurant and we were sooo glad we did!! We tried some of the local specialties from the region : I had the lamb something that was cooked to perfection- and the dessert was a corn/rice/ "pudding/cake" with saffron that was delicious! Service was excelllent and not rushed and overall added to our touring Visby experience. Highly recommend!!

Expect filtered coffee (i might have just missed the machine for Latte goodness), but a range of very yummy baked goods, sandwiches and even a warm dish. We had the fish sandwich (delicious and sizable!) as well as slices of roasted lamb with potato casserole. It was a bit confusing indoors as it did not look like a classic cafe (these days), but the members of staff were super helpful and friendly :) After you have ordered and paid for your food at the counter, make sure to grab a seat outside and indulge in sunshine and happiness :)

This place is totally awesome to have a drink in.

But what was the best here?? The answer is the waiter. He was Swedish but had spent a year in Philadelphia and a summer in Vienna. Say what? ... are you for real? .... or you just trying for a bigger tip? .... nah he was for real .... and we had a lot of stories to share!

I ordered a chicken salad,and it was very tasty. We also ordered lattes. I admit that I had not had a good coffee for a long time, but the coffee was excellent as well. The ambience was also good. Relaxed and pleasing to the eye, with the decorating choices they made. The style in this restaurant is to go to the bar, order and pay. Food is then brought to the table. All in all, a very nice place, which we recommended. Being North American, we were only unhappy with the high prices....but we unfortunately accepted that.

An Impromptu Lunch In Visby Nets A Big "Yum!"…read more SITREP So we're touring around Visby after enjoying a morning adventuring through the Gotland. After some truly random walking adventures we happened upon Torgkrogen which ended up being a delightful stop. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/torgkrogen-visby?select=0UlghrqOsch2dkm_tkWdfw&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE SETUP The menu was pretty comprehensive, featuring dishes running the gamet from Seafood delights to yummy looking noodle entrees. I actually settled upon a delicious Cheese & Ham Calzone. It's looked a LOT bigger than I could handle, but it was due to being very puffy, and ended up being quite manageable! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/torgkrogen-visby?select=uNPcGh69DSweiXEc8Y1ZWg&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w SPACE AND AMENITIES There was more than sufficient space for our large group of 16 plus, in part due to the fortuitous lines of dining room tables that let you merge one party with another as needs be. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/torgkrogen-visby?select=WUJRF0ryz9iErHYnk_Q03Q&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w After an hour or so, we were back on the road, ready to trek back to our buses.

We came on a midday Sunday for lunch and walked right in for party of four. They do not have english menus but happy to explain and translate. They have a pretty standard Scandinavian menu, service was very fast and relatively inexpensive for the portion size. We ordered the fried fish and the pasta special, but the best was definitely the homemade pesto sauce they serve with the bread... order that! The pasta was a huge portion and a bit oily but it was still tasty with fresh cheese on top. If you're looking for a nice place most would enjoy this is a good option!

Food is great, but the plates arent gigantic, so dont expect to be stuffed when leaving. I had their "Steak N fries" which was perfectly cooked and had a lot of flavor. They have a lot of seats in different levels outside so you can most probably find a spot if you want to. It can get pretty crowded in the bar outside later at night, so it might be a good option to go for a bottle wine. They also have a DJ at night that throws out a chill vibe throughout the venue. Grab a drink, grab a seat...enjoy!

Definitely a great place to rest your feet and take a break!

Seafood is the only form of meat here, but that's ok because they know how to prepare it…read more We dined here in a warm summer afternoon and enjoyed the scenery of the ruins and people watching. The service was professional and friendly. For our starter we had the Toast Skagen. Oh my was the toast addictive. I wish there was more, but it was covered in the ample portions of shrimp and dill sauce. For our main course, we had the butter fried pike-perch. It was so flakey, moist and tender. The diced rhubarb was such a surprise love for me. The crunch and slight bitterness was the perfect combo for the fish. For dessert we had the Saffranspannkaka. I've never had it before so I wasn't sure what to expect. The actual pancake was odd, but I loved the whipped cream and jam and that's what saved it for me. I don't anticipate being back in the area anytime soon, but if I am, I know where I'm dining.
