Manfred’s Brasserie

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Corner Restaurant with Alpine Roots

Manfred's Brasserie sits on Nordenskiöldsgatan in Gothenburg's popular Linné district, run by owners Fredrik and Daniél, both from the Alpine countries. That background shapes everything on the menu: the kitchen draws its heart from Austrian and Swiss cooking, with the kind of personal, informal warmth that only a true neighbourhood brasserie can pull off. The atmosphere is described by the restaurant itself as "trivsamt informell" – comfortably informal – with personal service and food of recognised quality at reasonable prices.

The Schnitzel That White Guide Noticed

The White Guide, in awarding Manfred's its Fine level recognition for 2026, singled out something deceptively straightforward: the schnitzel. "It seems so simple. Pound, bread, and fry a piece of meat. It appears on hundreds of menus and has been around for a hundred years. Yet almost no one gets it right. Manfred's brasserie is one of the few brilliant exceptions. And how they shine." For a dish this elemental, that kind of praise says everything. The genuine Wiener schnitzel – along with Cordon Bleu – anchors the lunch menu, served Monday through Friday without reservations, drop-in only.

Beyond the Classics

The menu doesn't stop at Alpine staples. Weekly specials push into broader territory: dishes like orange and pepper-seared beef tenderloin with Parma-wrapped white asparagus, Karl Johan mushrooms and a buttered cognac sauce, or the catch of the day with sautéed tomato, scampi, fried padrón peppers and saffron arancini show a kitchen comfortable moving between registers. Sunday menus lean international, while the wine list, like the à la carte, keeps its centre of gravity in the elegance of Alpine cooking. Desserts such as white chocolate mousse mille-feuille with candied pistachios and a rhubarb-blueberry compote, or a warm chocolate fondant with orange and vanilla ice cream, round things out with the same unfussy confidence.

Lunch, Dinner and Takeaway

Manfred's serves lunch and dinner through the week, with takeaway also available – making it a genuine all-day resource for the neighbourhood. The tone set by Fredrik, Daniél and their team is one of genuine hospitality rather than performance, exactly what a brasserie should be.
