    We had to wait a long time before the dishes...took 3,5-4 hours to finish a 7-course menu. Nothing was really mind-blowing.Tried non-alcoholic pairing but all the drinks were sweet juice of some sort. We informed them that we are allergic to alcohol and wouldn't want any food with it, but the final dessert came out with strong cognac taste... couldn't eat it. Wouldn't come back again.

    Edit: Have eaten here once a year for the last 3 years, a really special dining experience. Thanks to all at Koka! Well if you have yet to experience Koka you could do yourself a favour and book yourself a table. Every course was well made, presented, and surprising. Each course had a cheeky taste and texture that left you guessing about what ingredients were used and what method was used to prepare it. The food is local, and each dish is recognizable yet new. Seriously good food. The service was very efficient and personable. The environment was welcoming, tidy, and just uncluttered. We sat for over 3 hours without feeling fatigued. Well worth your time and effort.

    Great interior, cocktail and dishes in general. It was a little bit too much green in every dish, but the focus is on the west coast of Sweden so I défini understand the concept. The langoustine was awesome, so was the dessert(s). It’s great to visit Michelin restaurants maybe every six months to appreciate it and enjoy a higher level of cooking and service experience.

    This was one of the best gastronomical experiences I've had in my life. My taste buds were flabbergasted! I have no words to describe the flavour and texture of the langoustine. And the pumpkin with chèvre was from another level! A few tiny details that the cockles had sand that I chewed on, although my partner said he didn't feel any. The salon is pretty tiny and people can be super loud. That's on people but I think they could do some improvements in the room. The service was impeccable. The waitress was super friendly and made us feel welcomed and comfortable from beginning to end. 🫶 It was the cherry on top going to this place in our last night in Gothenburg.

    (Translated by Google) Wow I just say! Their burgers were absolutely wonderful. Fresh salad and homemade tomatoes, can it be better? What diminishes the grade slightly was the cheese, they had planed house cheese instead of cheddar. (Original) Wow säger jag bara! Deras hamburgare var helt underbart goda. Fräsch sallad och egenodlade tomater, kan det bli bättre? Det som drar ner betyget en aning var osten, de hade hyvlad hushållsost istället för cheddar.

    I just had an 7 course menu at Koka and it was Ok, perhaps good but not more for the price. The plating and flavours was good but nothing that blew me away hence no photos. I do question the Michelin star. Everything was quite heavy on salt, even the dessert. The biggest let down was crab shells in the crab dish which is a absolutely no no! To my surprise no compensation was given for this, lucky my teeth are still there!

    Well, the food was really good. Especially seafood is really well cooked. And all of the plates were having a good sequence. Even though we spent almost 4 hours in the restaurant, we noticed something was missing. I think we did not get so much relaxed feeling, where you dont feel like you are at a restaurant. Welcoming was not good enough and the waiter seemed to be new, therefore had problems at serving and not much explaining about the dish. Food was good but there is room for improvement.

  • 3/5 steven w. 8 months ago on Google • 126 reviews
    Unfortunately disappointing. The atmosphere was nice although we picked a night when a large corporate party was in attendance. Our waitress was great a real credit to the place. The food however was not as good as it could have been . In my opinion various errors occurred , over dusting with powders, addition of too many herbs masking the star of the dish and my biggest issue undercooking a few items , the fish and the potatoes. I like raw fish in the right dish but we had undercooked fish . Disappointed.

    Beautiful dishes with many layers of flavors and textures. Clean presentation, emphasizing we’re in Sweden. Service is friendly, the restaurant does wonders for my OCD with tables straight in line. We had the 7 course menu which offered variety and was just right size wise. The bread is excellent albeit a bit messy with the butter melting in it.

  • 4/5 oriana g. 3 months ago on Google • 88 reviews New
    I must admit, I had higher expectations for the dining experience. Although the food was decent overall, it was not exceptional as one would anticipate from this type of restaurant. The duck had a flavorful bloodline that was not pleasant and the fish was quite plain. We were served by two waitresses, one of whom was attentive and efficient while the other was not. We had to request additional silverware several times to properly enjoy our meal.

  • 5/5 Joakim N. 2 years ago on Google • 24 reviews
    A great experience exceeding our expectations. Plenty of new flavors and unique combinations, sometimes some Japanese influences but with a complete Swedish take. The smoked celeriac was definitely a highlight for us! Excellent service and environment as well, very impressed.

  • 5/5 Mikael L. 7 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Exceptional dining experience. Every dish was a masterpiece, both in flavor and presentation. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Freddie W. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent food! Only criticism I’d have is that the food was always hidden under something so you couldn’t see all the things you were eating.

  • 4/5 Alice R. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food and experience!!

  • 5/5 Ivo C. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice meal, for a very acceptable price regarding the quality. The best was definitely the goats curd with the smoked ramson, which had an intense smokyness! Definitely recommended to come if you find the time!

  • 5/5 Gabriel K. 4 years ago on Google
    Exciting design experience and brave menu with good tastes and local ingredients.

  • 5/5 Maximilian W. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent. The service was great, with really good matching of wines to the food. The food was amazing. Really well thought out. We had 5 courses which was a perfect amount. Will definitely go back!

  • 5/5 Jamie M. 2 years ago on Google
    We had the best evening here from start to finish. The food was incredible and they catered beautifully for my partner who is vegan. He had the wine pairing - which was stunning! Maya who looked after us was brilliant and incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the food and wine. If you’re in Gothenburg - you must head here.

  • 5/5 Daniel P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) High class, nice serving and professional staff. Next time we are in Gothenburg we will be back. (Original) Hög klass, trevlig servering och proffsig personal. Nästa gång vi är i Göteborg så kommer vi tillbaka.

  • 5/5 Helena N. 1 year ago on Google
    If in search of total commitment and focus on the food and wine, this was a wonderful experience. Wonderful and interesting small courses and the choice of wine to accompany the food was excellent. I was inspired. And happy. Service and hospitality was great. Thank you!

  • 3/5 K L. 1 year ago on Google
    We were looking forward dining at Koka as we heard about the fine cuisine and stopped therefore in Göteborg. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to bring the dog with us (which is usually never a problem in fine dining restaurants where we live at). Amended after reply: we did contact the restaurant of course beforehand. As we could neither find something on the website nor via web search we decided to leave a comment here for other dog owners' information.

  • 5/5 Anu K. 4 years ago on Google
    Experienced and lovely front of house, food is modern take on local Swedish ingredients. Wine pairings were excellent with every dish. Popular place in Gothenburg and worth a visit when there for a fine dining experience.

  • 5/5 Amra T. 3 years ago on Google
    The best service I have encountered. Kind staff which knows all about wine and food pairing. Felt like a celebrity with different chefs bringing food. Worth the money like no other place. A unique experience for amazing fine dining, and unexpected mix of tastes. Michelin star for a reason!

  • 5/5 Leetchy 1 year ago on Google
    Exquisit dishes, with an incredible vegetarian menu, so that one doesn't get the feeling of missing out compared to the non vegetarian menu! Very good service, I recommend!

  • 5/5 Claus E. 1 year ago on Google
    We have been there twice. Both times we got the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Great experience. High level of food and service. Not too formal - very warm and friendly atmosphere. Fair prices.

  • 5/5 Filip B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, unusual combination of various tastes, garlic icecream? Tastes just great!!!! Highly recommended :-)

  • 5/5 Eshwar S. 1 year ago on Google
    A great experience for the palate. With every course, you enjoy a burst of flavors. Paired wines go great with the various courses. Had the vegetarian option, definite recommend. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

  • 5/5 Yingzhi N. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff, very innovative food, the most surprising thing today is the garlic flavored ice cream with cherry, sounds very strange at first but it turns out quite tasty 😋

  • 5/5 Betty C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and we actually get filled. Most of fine dining restaurants have so tiny servings that we have to get a burger after dinner but today we are very satisfied with the portion and the food

  • 5/5 Arber B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really great atmosphere, the sound and the lighting was very good. The food was a great, plated very beautifully and delicious. Service was great , very knowledgeable off what they are serving, also wine recommendations was matching perfectly with the dishes.

  • 4/5 James C. 6 months ago on Google
    Koka was a fantastic place to eat! The food was amazing and the bar downstairs was a great place to have a drink before our reservation.our waiter was very nice and explained every dish beautifully. I do have one key piece of feedback. Meal was 7 courses and it took three hours. The dishes were a couple bits each meaning we waited 20+ minutes between courses.

  • 5/5 Henry S. 7 months ago on Google
    What a great experience. The service was great from beginning to the end. The food was very delicious and sometimes very surprising, but absolutely perfect. The suggestion for the wine was very good. The whole menu es well „designed“. Many thanks to the Koka Team, for the great food experience.

  • 5/5 Antonello C. 9 months ago on Google
    The food was stellar, but the service could’ve been a little warmer for a 1 star place.

  • 5/5 Jérôme V. 7 months ago on Google
    We booked a table for 3 and selected a 7 courses menu one of which was vegetarian. The experience was worth the price we paid (~100€ pp) . The food is exquisite and the service is nice with a cosy atmosphere. Strongly recommend this one star ⭐ Michelin

  • 5/5 Johan B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A fantastic experience in a wonderfully cozy restaurant! Among the best dining experiences I have had! Fine and clean flavors and locally produced ... Our waitress who was also a trained sommelier, I guess, was very nice and incredibly well read. There was also a non-alcoholic beverage alternative to each dish, which is hugely appreciated! It is rare that there are so many choices ... This place is highly recommended! (Original) En fantastisk upplevelse på en underbart mysig restaurang! Bland det bästa matupplevelserna jag haft! Fina och rena smaker samt lokalproducerat... Vår servitris som även var utbildad sommelier, gissar jag, var väldigt trevlig och otroligt beläst. Det fanns även ett alkoholfritt dryckesalternativ till varje rätt, vilket uppskattas enormt! Det är sällan det finns så många valmöjligheter... Detta ställe rekommenderas starkt!

    (Translated by Google) Nice treatment and service by the staff. Nice decor and atmosphere. We chose the tasting menu and bought a bottle of red. Reasonable pace of serving. The menu contains very good starters and main course. Really impressed by the moose. However, think that both desserts were very weak and left a feeling of disappointment. Do not understand why you should bother to the simplest. The wine was not put on aeration. The tables are placed very close to each other so you make the most of sometimes other people's conversations. Details maybe but this is a restaurant where you can expect everything to sit. (Original) Trevligt bemötande och service av personalen. Fin inredning och atmosfär. Vi valde avsmakningsmeny och köpte till en flaska rött. Lagom tempo på serveringen. Menyn innehåll mycket bra förätter och huvudrätt. Riktigt imponerad av älgen. Tycker dock att bägge desserter var väldigt svaga och lämnade en känsla av besvikelse. Fattar inte varför man skall krångla till det enklaste. Vinet sattes ej på luftning. Borden är placerade väldigt nära varandra så man störst av stundtals av andras samtal. Detaljer kanske men detta är en restaurang där man kan förväntas att allt sitter.

    A very sweet place. Wonderful & warm atmosphere with perfect service. The Food is very good with extremly tasty and creative dishes without losing the northern identity and always down to earth. Fantastic!

  • 3/5 Jan B. 3 years ago on Google
    3* only even tough the dinner was very good, the dishes creative and the service attentive. The wine pairing was rather disappointing, at least not on a standard for a Michelin rated restaurant. The "main dishes" are very small, even after 7 courses I was still somehow hungry. Absolutely worth it to go! But no 5* compared to other similar rated Michelin or Gault Millau places.

    We had a four course set menu which was great from start to finish. The halibut and the cod dishes were absolutely incredible and the dessert made out of punch were perhaps the best dessert I have ever had. The service was great as well, even though we were there on vallentines day and the place was packed the food arrived in a timely manner and the staff was excellent. Can't recommend it warmly enough.
