Zamenhof

Top choice in Gothenburg


Hip, loftlike Zamenhof incorporates three buzzing eateries and both front and back bars. The latter is packed with retro arcade games and pinball machines, while the front bar includes see-and-be-seen square-side tables. Polished barkeeps pour everything from craft beers to cleverly subversive cocktails (chocolate Negroni, anyone?), while food options range from poke bowls to rustic Italian sausages with farinata (chickpea-flour pancake).
