What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
VRÅ is lauded for its innovative Nordic-Japanese fusion cuisine and elegant ambiance. Guests rave about creative dishes, particularly the vegan tasting menu and the unique 'Okifries'. However, some diners have experienced slow and inattentive service, with issues regarding order timing and drink delivery impacting their experience. Despite some service concerns, the quality of ingredients and the overall dining experience often leave a positive impression.
"We found the restaurant via Guide Michelin as a recommendation (not a Michelin star) and what can I say: a previous post office stars as a fantastic location for beautiful food and a typical swedish, customer-oriented and super nice service! We ordered a la carte and were super happy with the style, taste and quality of food. The taste of the local ingredients was outstanding!
If you are up for deep fried, the okifries, we ordered twice! The sashimi moriwaze were highest quality and tasteful. The main course, ling with buttermilk was rich in taste and full of flavors. Guide Michelin pointed out the good list of sake: we went for wine by the glass but would go for sake next time."
Beatrix Muc
"Asian fusion inspired restaurant right next to the train station. The inside dining space is beautifully decorated and gives you a high end feel, as does the great service. The food is delicious, as are the drinks, though portions are small. Maybe to be expected at a fancy place, but beware that a three course meal might leave you still hungry."
Johan Björefeldt
"Great food and atmosphere but a company of 14 was too much for the staff to handle given the slow service time.
Very simple orders like a beer or coffee took forever to get. We wanted to have coffee together with our dessert but we got the coffee 10-15 minutes after the dessert. Some of us ordered coffee baileys, we got the coffee and Baileys separately, 5-10 minutes apart."

Guiden till lyxrestauranger i Göteborg
VRÅ, som hittas inne i Clarion Hotel Post, står med ena foten i Japan och med den andra på västkusten. Här är det hållbarhet som står till grund för hela verksamheten, och i köket jobbar man snarare i symbios med naturen, än att försöka tämja den. Själva lokalen går i exklusiv, minimalistisk stil, och sällskap som vill sitta mer avskilt kan boka restaurangens chambre séparée.
