"We took the tasting menu Expeditionen with its pairing drinks. Each of the courses were delicious and the drinks tasty and perfectly assorted to the food.
One of us has an egg allergy and the kitchen managed to replace most of the egg elements with egg free alternatives to keep the expedition complete.
About the allergy, I recommend that you communicate at least a week in advice to the restaurant the allergy and the meal/menu you will order so that the kitchen can prepare at best in advance.
It was overall a great culinary experience!"

"It's all about expectations, I had them too high and hence the 3 stars. The service and atmosphere were spot on. The quality of produce high, but nothing was particularly memorable that would make me want to go back. Korean chicken wings were my favourite bit but again have had better."
Nino Fisher
"Cool Korean restaurant with quite authentic flavours, go for their five course menu and don’t forget to drink korean white wine 😉😉 Soju … relaxed atmosphere and friendly service!"

Where To Eat In Malmö Sweden 2023
NAMU is a Korean restaurant praised in the Michelin Guide for its inventiveness for one, and I was lucky enough to celebrate my birthday there this year. It’s so nice to date a fellow foodie and my boyfriend hit it out of the park by choosing this gem of a place. Every dish was divine but their cocktail of the day might have been one of the best drinks I ever had (I maybe drink three times a year).
