Klostergatans Vin & Delikatess

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Brasserie Built on Craft and Honest Ingredients

Klostergatans Vin & Delikatess occupies a grand turn-of-the-century palace on one of Lund's most storied addresses. Inside, a checkered floor, sweeping arched windows, and an enormous bar set the tone — an Art Deco-inspired room that feels both timeless and genuinely alive. The White Guide has recognised the restaurant for exactly this: a place where you can settle in for a pink tournedos with béarnaise served in a small copper pot, crispy fries, and a glass of Burgundy, and feel that everything is exactly as it should be.

The Food: Swedish Seasons, French Foundations

The kitchen draws primarily on Swedish produce in season, letting quality ingredients speak for themselves with careful technique rather than elaborate intervention. French brasserie classics sit comfortably alongside Swedish touches — Kalix bleak roe on a crispy hash brown, steak tartare with beetroot and cornichons, halibut in a bouillabaisse sauce with saffron-pickled fennel. The filet mignon tournedos with béarnaise and red wine sauce is a house anchor, and the menu rotates to keep things current without abandoning the classics. A stated kitchen goal of zero waste means stocks and foundations are made from what others would discard — good for flavour, good for the environment.

The restaurant runs both à la carte and set menus, including a classic three-course menu built around the bleak roe starter and crème brûlée finish, as well as a monthly menu with optional wine pairing.

Wine at the Centre

Sommeliers are a visible presence here, and the wine list reflects their influence: a deep focus on the Old World — Burgundy, Chablis, the major European regions — with solid representation from elsewhere. Many bottles are available by the glass, and the team occasionally opens selections from a special reserve. The bar is a destination in its own right, suited to an aperitif, a classic cocktail, or simply sitting in the hum of a full dining room.

The People Behind It

Klostergatan is run by Calle Henrickson, Jim Andreasson, Jens Mårtensson, and Per Bodemyr — a team that also operates several other Lund restaurants including a patisserie, a Korean-Japanese kitchen, and a fire-grill concept. The shared philosophy across the group is craft, seasonal Swedish ingredients, and personal service. At Klostergatan specifically, that translates into attentive floor staff, knowledgeable sommeliers, and a room that works equally well for a family dinner, a business lunch, or a spontaneous solo visit at the bar.
