Around 45% of the population of Sweden's third-largest city, Malmö, is foreign-born, with residents coming from more than 170 countries and around 150 languages being spoken. In light of that, it should come as no surprise that the Malmö food scene has exploded, with some saying it's on track to become one of the best in Europe, if not the world. If it's Michelin-starred food you're keen on trying, Malmö has several for you to choose from: Vollmers, with two stars, incorporates Swedish and Scandinavian gastronomy and ingredients in a modern and unique way, while the classic Sture got an overhaul when new owners took over and appointed Chef Karim Khouani, who has turned this French restaurant into a destination. For less fancy (and less expensive) options, you can't go wrong with local favourite Bastard, which serves up solid and delicious fare, or the always lively Mello Yello, which offers great food in a fantastic atmosphere and setting, Malmö's hip Lilla torg square. And for a real treat? Head about an hour south of Malmö and try Daniel Berlin, in Skåne-Tranås; this family-run business is gaining a big reputation far beyond its small-town borders for its hyper-local ingredients, inventive preparation and lush, cosy setting.
