We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Restaurant Ruben. We had the Toast Skagen, the burger and the fish soup and all three dishes exceeded expectations. We highly recommend the local beer. But the cherry on top was the service. We came with a long list of allergies and both the young lady who waited on us and the chef handled the situation wonderfully! The waitress was exemplary at her job. She made an effort to speak in Swedish when she could. She gave us background information and the story behind the beer and the city. When she saw us studying a map of the area she also made local recommendations of cafés for pastries and cake which she wrote down for us. We were more than satisfied with her lovely and welcoming approach.

Viihtyisä ravintola Kakolanmäellä. Palvelu oli todella ystävällistä ja seurueemme tarpeet otettiin hyvin huomioon. Ruoka oli maittavaa, söin itse friteeratun kanan. Annoskoko oli riittävän runsas.
