Saltimporten Canteen

Top choice in Malmö


This wonderfully minimalist open canteen housed in the old Salt Importing Warehouse, now a haven of creative and design offices, has polished concrete floors and a design palette that emphasizes its harbour views. Each day there's a different set lunch menu, and that's it – and it's almost always executed perfectly.
