Described as one of Ystad’s best restaurants by Kurt Wallander in the movie Täckmanteln, Store Thor occupies the monastic arched cellar of the old town hall (1572). Nibble on such tapas as jalapeño peppers with cheese, tuck into succulent grilled meats or enjoy the cognac raw-spiced salmon with dill-stewed potatoes. The square-side terrace is a hit with summertime night owls.
