On Uppsala's main square, this sophisticated brasserie, restaurant and cocktail bar gives Gallic flavours East-Asian twists. This might translate into steak tartare with wasabi mayonnaise and pickled ginger, broccoli croquettes with roasted cauliflower, tofu crème and peanut dressing, or seafood dumplings in a decadent lobster broth. Daily lunch deals offer a main, salad, bread and coffee for 100/135kr on weekdays/weekends.

If you're parched, the slinky bar crafts competent cocktails. If dining, reservations are recommended, especially at weekends.
