At restaurant Lyran, in a previously rough neighbourhood of Malmö, they love everything natural. House-grown vegetables on the plate, a limited amount of sulphites in the glass and naturally relaxed service. The team behind the restaurant, chef Jörgen Lloyd with his wife Melissa Gardarsdottir, call themselves ‘warm and friendly ordinary folk’. The tiny kitchen produces good food, not complicated but with plenty of flavour inspired by local seasonal produce and the multicultural influences that characterise Malmö.
‘We love the Loire,’ says restaurant manager Erik Levung about the wine selection. ‘And Jura, St-Joseph and Beaujolais!’ Needless to say, France features heavily, with producers such as Frédéric Cossard in Burgundy and Jean-Louis Dutraive from Beaujolais. Lyran is the essence of Malmö gastronomy and as such, the coolest ticket in town.
