One of the few cafes that are open on Sundays in this small town…read more Nice and cozy cafe, although the interior is bordering grandma-ish, but the service is fast and friendly. I ordered "Soup of the Day" that turned out to be a very good tomato soup (it was very creamy and tasty and there were bits and chunks of tomatoes in it) that came with free coffee and bread. Boyfriend ordered pancakes that came with jam and whipped cream that looked very good as well. Price is very reasonable. My soup costs 79 SEK and the pancake is 59 SEK. Pretty nice place for a relaxing coffee if you don't want to go to the big chains such as Wayne's or Espresso House.

The food is high quality and presentation is excellent…read more The interior is absolutely stunning. I had the steak tartare (150 SEK) for an appetizer and the pork belly (245 SEK) as the main course. he bread and butter basket was super impressive! Only nit was it was so slow but perhaps it is the kind of restaurant people come to spend a few hours at.

Coffee options were great and sooo many great breads and pastries. The cinnamon rolls were delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough. Also such a cozy spot with many tables and couches.

You walk up the stairs and past the kitchen and it opens up to an Oriental dining room and great aromas. The lunch buffet is hearty with warm fish, chicken, beef and vegetarian dishes, mezze dishes like hummus, grilled vegetables, tabouleh, tzatsiki, pita bread, really there are more dishes than you can put everything on one plate even if you only put a spoonful portion of everything. So you have to make choices or go up more than once. Everything except the fish was delish. The dessert included coffee or tea. Since we sat upstairs and near a window, we could look out over the square and enjoyed the break in the day.

Not so much: Seats along wall uncomfortable. My back lasts about 20 minutes at most. In pain now as I type this, in fact. So don't sit there if you want to hang out. Most tables are tiny. So, for me at least, nice to stop in for a quick coffee and bite. Not to relax or read or anything.

I don't know what we did before Simon's opened a little over a year ago--it has fast become a…read morestaple in our small town's fika scene. With outstanding espresso and regular coffees as well as high-quality baked goods, Simon's is usually my top choice for a stolen hour of reading, latte in hand, for fika with a friend I haven't seen in a while, or simply just for people watching on Storgatan. Their candle-lit tables and animal-skin-clad benches make it a cozy spot even when it is packed with people. And Simon's makes the best coffee in town. Simon's roasts their own coffees (weekly, I think!) in their roaster that's in the back of the cafe--and the freshness and knowledge of coffee shows. Both the regular "bryggkaffe" (filtered coffee) and the espresso are excellent, and there is usually a choice of blends for the bryggkaffe. Simon's also sells bags of their beans--the "Nordic Morning" blend is my favorite for everyday morning coffee, while some of the special edition beans (like the Ethiopian or Kenyan varietals he has had in the past) have been amazing. This year's Julkaffe (a Colombian bean) was perhaps my favorite coffee *ever.* The bullar (sweet buns), breads, and pastries are all excellent. Some of my favorites include the kardemummabulle, the mazarin, the apple cake, and the lemon meringue tartlet. The caprese (tomato-mozzarella) macka (sandwich) is crazy good--I have barely tried any other lunch items because I am addicted to that one! But my husband has had several of the salads and larger sandwiches on their menu and has loved them all. Additionally, Simon's serves kombucha, smoothies and freshly pressed juices, and healthier breakfasts like chia pudding. If you can be there early for lunch (say, ca 11.30) on a Wednesday, don't miss the special sourdough, thin-crust pizzas! Pizzaonsdagar are a special treat at Simon's and only last till all the dough has run out--so going early is a must. Simon's is tied with Babette's for my favorite cafe in Linköping, even though they are quite different in terms of emphasis and atmosphere. Babette's is much larger and has a more shabby chic feeling; Simon's is more Scandi-industrial-modern. Both are cozy and both make outstanding bullar (sweet buns), breads, and pastries. You can't go wrong with either, so have two fikas in Linköping and try them both!

Beautiful Interior, limited Seating…read more I tried the Baked feta (129 SEK) and the Chicken Souvlaki (265 SEK). Everything tasted nice and was high quality. A star off because it took so long (3 hours for dinner) but perhaps it's the type of spot where people come to spend a few hours.

The interior is incredibly stylish, impeccably "English Pub"…read more The food is presented beautifully but of okay quality. I had the Korean Pork Belly and Tuna Tartare. Staff is really friendly, and funny too.

This was our go to place when I was regularly working in Linköping…read more Great beers, warm environment. Friendly (by Swedish standards, which means warm service, smiles without overly friendly chatter). Best steak tartare I've ever had. Miss that, and no other has lived up to what I had here (when available). Loved the grilled cheese ... which is literally firm slices of cheese that stand up to grilling. Wish I could remember the name. Lots of great memories.

Great food and a good variety of beer! Best English atmosphere! Love it! Bishops Arms in Linköping…read moreis one of my favourites now!

The Bishops Arms is a chain of pubs owned by the same guy who owns all the Elite hotels in Sweden…read more They are usually found next door to an Elite hotel but in this case it is a few blocks from the hotel but they are still affiliated so the voucher you get as a frequent guest at Elite can be used here. The concept is simple - large variety of craft beer (around 20 or so on tap and many more by the bottle) as well as impressive selection of whiskey combined with well-made pub grub, The look is the typical English pub and I appreciate the fact that there is never a TV in any of the Bishops Arms pubs and the music is kept at a low volume so it is easy to speak. This specific Bishops Arms is not my favorite as the staff can at times be a bit disinterested and the clientele to some extent appear to be local drunks (a bit uncommon for Bishops arms as the price level usually keep them out but perhaps the local drunks in Linköping are more affluent than elsewhere). The food here is however still pretty decent and the dish of the day is usually good value for money.
