Brogatan Malmö

A neon sign and buzzing night

"Brogan combines tasty food, a cozy bar, and live music near Malmo's shopping street. Enjoy a vintage vibe, diverse drinks, local DJs, and cultural events."

Brogan is what you get when you combine delicious food, a cosy neighbourhood bar and a happening music spot. Tucked away parallel to Malmo’s main shopping street, Brogan welcomes you with a grand 1980s-looking American bar and a dimly lit red neon light adorning the ceiling. 

The crowd is happy and the place buzzing with locals and expats alike. The bar serves a handful of beers and natural wines, but has enough of a rotation to keep you coming back for your refills. The music ranges from background jazz, RnB, funk and some top charts.

If you fancy a proper dining experience, they have a formal table setup where you can watch the chefs in action. For a more casual dining experience, you can order at the table in the bar. The mains are all delicious but rotate based on locally available produce and the seasons. 

I ordered the steak, which was beautifully glazed in a rich red wine sauce and served with braised shallot and mashed potatoes. My friend ordered the Schnitzel and claimed it was one of the ‘best schnitzels’ he had ever had. And this guy knows his food.

Besides the music and the food, the back of the house is brought to life with Malmo’s local DJs, a rotation of low-key Swedish indie and rock bands in concerts, comedy nights, Karaoke, and a whole host of art and culture events. If you’re looking to kickstart a night out in Malmo, definitely check out Brogatan.

Kold

Gastronomic ice cream artisans

Personally, I like my flavors a little adventurous, the “Get it on” with goat cheese is a delight. For something refreshing, I love the “Key lime pie”...

Paloma Tea Company

Tea lovers paradise

I learnt that all tea comes from a single plant, Camellia Sinensis which thrives in the hot and humid climate of the far east – China, Japan and India.
