This was a great restaurant and first meal in Sweden. I was in Umeå for work and the vendor took…read moremy co-worker and I here for lunch. It's amazing how much quieter restaurants are outside the US. So easy to talk without having to raise my voice much. I don't eat seafood or fish at all and so walking in, I thought I was doomed as it smelled like that's all they were doing was frying fish. Thankfully, they had a meatball and pasta dish aside from the fish they were serving so I enthusiastically opted for that. I thought it was going to be the famous Swedish meatballs, but it actually came in a marinara sauce and it was divine. Flavor was just perfect, not over seasoned meatballs with extreme garlic marinara, but just the right balance of herbs that made for such a pleasant dining experience. I also tried the cheese bread as our hosts were really excited about it. Also good and apparently a staple for Köksbaren. The tone of the restaurant made me feel like I walked into a really big kitchen and sat down at Grandma's table for a meal. I liked it. Really cozy and inviting. In a great area of Umeå close to other restaurants and stores. I'm thinking this is the main area of the town which isn't all that large in population. I'd totally come to this restaurant again.

There are Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Malaysian, and Vietnamese options. The restaurant is really a gastronomical love letter to the star dishes from each nation, and the outcome is superb. I'm surprised this place is in a mall! Seating is limited inside the store, but there is more right outside in the main mall area. They also do takeout! The service is really friendly, the flavors are delicious, and I'm making myself really hungry for some gua bao and char siu. The decor is also fun - like being at a little food stall in the streets of your Asian country of choice. Eating here is always a great experience! If you're in Umeå, go to SEN Street! You won't be disappointed!

The last time I was there I ordered steak and it was horribly overcooked. When I told the waitress she brought to the steak to the chef who then told me I was wrong even though the meat was gray.

Surprisingly interesting and quirky cool.

Now it's this huge place with lots of tables, open bar, open kitchen, and several lanes for boule playing. The interior is primarily industrial with concrete floors and dark walls, but makes it really quirky with lots of plants that messes with my mind and makes me think of something more tropical. Also lots of different lights hanging from the ceiling. We were a large group of people and all the food had been pre-ordered so I was in no position to choose any of my meals. Me and a colleague went to the bar and ordered a glass of sparkling wine, after all, who says you can't enjoy bubbles on a Monday? For starter we were served a cep mushroom soup with 63 degrees tempered egg and brioche mushrooms. It was warm, rich, creamy, and utterly delicious. And the glass of cava brut was a great companion to this tasty dish. The main course was however something spectacular. Monkfish cheek served with red wine jus, smoked pork, mushrooms, bitter fried onion, and pommes purée. Does it sound rich? It was! Does it sound amazing? It was! Monkfish is, as you might know, a really meaty fish, yet it was still moist and cooked to perfection. To pair a gorgeous fish with such rich and powering ingredients like red wine jus, smoked pork, bitter onion etc sounds almost a bit mad - which is why I was absolutely floored by this dish. It worked absolutely perfect! Everything was in complete harmony, so well-balanced, and I was constantly surprised by every single bite. To this amazing food we were served an ecological Côtes de Rhône from Louis Bernard that with flavors of dark chocolate, dried fruit and medium oak. A really good pairing with the food. The dessert came in the form of a passion fruit crème brûlée that, if you so put it, was the nail in the coffin of an excellent meal! I must say that OB&B, food-wise, truly exceeded every form of expectation I had. The service and attentiveness of staff is what I'd call standard, but I'm without a shadow of a doubt a fan of this place and I'll be more than happy to come back and spend some money here for another excellent meal like the one I recently experienced!
