Where Thai Cooking Meets Malmö's Underground Scene
Step through the Theatre Academy's anonymous concrete portal on Bergsgatan and you might not expect much. The entrance is shared with the Inkonst stage, and the whole approach gives off Copenhagen underground vibes. Then Soi 29 opens up: a sleek bar facing a bright, open kitchen, neon-pink tables contrasting with warm Nordic wood, and an energy that earns it the reputation as Malmö's hottest Thai restaurant.
A Room That Earns Its Reputation
The White Guide, which awarded Soi 29 a "Very Fine Level" distinction in 2026, puts it plainly — the combination of serious Asian cooking and a genuinely craziest karaoke club under one roof is something Malmö has made entirely its own. The space doesn't try to be two things awkwardly; it commits fully to both. The open kitchen keeps the food honest and visible, while the bar anchors the room with the kind of confidence that makes late nights feel inevitable.
Practical and Inclusive
Soi 29 runs lunch service as well as late evenings, with outdoor seating when the Malmö weather allows. The kitchen takes vegetarian diners seriously, the venue is wheelchair accessible, and families with children are welcome — a breadth that matches the democratic, convivial spirit of the place.
For anyone who wants bold Thai flavours without ceremony, and a night that can go wherever the room takes it, Soi 29 is exactly where to be.
