What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Human Restaurang is celebrated for its delicious, creatively presented Nordic cuisine, particularly its seafood, and its exceptional, warm service. Diners are impressed by the chefs' skill and the inviting atmosphere. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, some minor critiques have mentioned the acidity of certain dishes or less-than-perfect wine pairings.
"If you only have one chance to have a supper in Gothenburg, then it must be there: absolutely delicious dishes, from the snacks to the sweet, made in front of you, they know their products and they know how to mixed them to make you drop your fork and say “OMG, it’s soooo goooood”.
The people serving also know their job to the perfection, and are super nice, given a lot of information about the dishes and the cooking tradition in Sweden.
It was a pleasure and we’ll remember it for a long time, for sure!"

"From the interior to the food and service - everything was just perfect. Sandra made us feel very welcome in our everyday clothes. Thanks to her and the rest of the staff, we had an amazing evening. I totally agree to previous reviews - if you can eat in just one place on Gothenburg, go here!"

Dining in a Winter Wonderland: A Taste of Gothenburg, Sweden | District Fray
The tasting menu at Human transformed regional ingredients and Scandi inspiration into modernist delights, each presented on naturally hued tableware handmade by accomplished local potter Mia Martinius of Vastergarden. Intrigued by her work, I made a point to stop by her shop and studio, where I watched her throw bowls on her wheel, the sleeves of her striped shirt pulled up to reveal the tattoo of the Millennium Falcon flying through the space between her wrist and elbow. I left with a set of small white side plates, a bite taken out of each one, the teeth marks painted gold, inspired by the grills of hip hop stars.
Gothenburg: Fine Dining and Family Fun in Sweden's Second City
The first solo venture for chef Martin Moses (formerly of SK), every dish here is created with restrained intention - nothing is extra, everything is necessary, and the always evolving menu takes you on a journey through New Nordic cuisine, perfectly paired with wine (should you choose), and presented with kind, accessible yet high-end service. Michelin recommended (and soon to be starred, I'd guess!).

They serve tasting menus with their own interpretations of modern Nordic cuisine, prepared with ingredients from the local area.
