Årstiderna i Kockska Huset

a classic Swedish restaurant in Malmö. If you are looking for a place to eat that isn’t your classic tourist joint, then this is it! With only one night in town this restaurant was a perfect choice.
Why:
— classic Swedish dishes
— broad array of options including fish venison ox and an array of starters. (Approx. 305Kr /​$ 37)
— atmosphere can’t be beat
— you get an array of house made bread and two butters organic and fried delicious
— service is excellent very professional
— meals begin with an amuse buché
— broad wine list but honestly the house wine was excellent, they serve at the table so after you taste it you can choose to keep it! (89kr /​$ 10 USD)
A note about the cooking: apparently with the venison they both pan fry and bake the meat then balance the internal temperature so as not to stress the meat, the result a tender delight served with a Jerusalem artichoke purée which blends with the dark venison reduction sauce, add salt to taste.
Directions:
Tucked to the side of the large square (not the touristy little square) you have to walk downstairs to the restaurant.

My boyfriend took me to his restaurant on a date and I absolutely loved it. The service was good and the atmosphere in the restaurant is fantastic. Food was also just absolutely delicious. Loved every second of it.

So let me preface by saying that the food from this place is actually very decent. We had the tasting menus, and serving size is actually quite humongous (as opposed to say, French cooking portions).
But, don’t expect good service unless you make a reservation.
We walking in off the street and were immediately treated with disdain. Asked for a table for 2 and was asked in return if we had a reservation. We said no, and the host just shook his head, and proceeded to seat us at this small table for 2 aka the kids’ table. Even though the restaurant was only about 50−60% full.
Service was okay, but because a large group was beside us spending a lot more kroners, our was, not ignored, but not that well attended.
Given a bunch of good restaurants around the area, this wouldn’t be my 1^st choice next time I’m around.

Kockska Huset is on Stortorget only two blocks from the central station. The building is an old warehouse and has a great interior atmosphere. I tried the ‘Swedish Menu’ which has:
First Course:
Kalixlöjrom med rödlök, gräddfil och smörstekt brioche (Roe with red onion, sour cream and butter fried brioche) — It was a great blend of flavors and the perfect serving size to start the evening.
Second Course:
Örtbakad renfilé med svampragu och svartvinbärssås (Herb-​baked reindeer with mushroom ragout blackcurrant) — Phenomenal
Third Course:
Inbakad Västerbottenost smaksatt med kummin (Baked cheese flavored with cumin) — I was told this was typical swedish cheese. I haven’t had it anywhere else, but I want more!!!
Dessert:
Nylagad vaniljglass med hjortronkompott (Freshly made vanilla ice cream with cloudberry compote) — Ah, yummy!
There are so many other things on the menu I want to try. I think I shall return, and soon.
