Skåne


Plunge into that Henning Mankell novel at this fabulous cafe – serving light meals such as filled baked potatoes, focaccias and piled-high salads – or pluck a book from one of the shelves and plan to stay awhile. In summer the 18th-century cobbled courtyard is a delight, especially when there's live music.
