"Loved the classic atmosphere and cozy vibe at Bullen. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the food was tasty and came out really fast. The salad could have been a bit bigger, but overall it was a great experience and I’d definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in Malmö."

"Very good Herring apperizer, although one of them was very sweet! I didn’t like it that much. The other creamy kind was excellent!
Their famous Veal meat balls with mashed potatoes were very good.
The service is very fast and friendly.
Very nice seating area.
Recommended"

"Swedish meatballs definitely worth trying here. Half portion has 3 pieces, full portion has 5 pieces(Unit prices come down to approx same).
Salmon plates are fresh and recommended as well. Inside seating is pub like wooden decor with aa bit kitchen smell though."
