Not one single thing I would change

Their food is absolutely amazing! And they change their menu quite often so everytime I go there it's something new to try.
I don't think it's a pricy place either.

Quite small so better book a table!
My dad don't appreciate the music played but I love it, so if you're not in to rock/punk/metal it's your loss

Update 2024: I wish I could give this place 5 out of 5 stars more times. Its incredible!!

Highly recommend

From when we first entered the bar we knew we were in the right spot! It was extremely warm and welcoming with very helpful staff. We had two appetisers and mains which we shared as well as a dessert and could not stop praising how delicious everything was. A few days later and we are still talking about how brilliant the "steak" was. Definitely a spot I'd come back to any time I was visiting.

Awesome food

Crispy fried seitan chicken was somehow fresh. Lovely seasoning. Just the right amount of salt (on everything). Huge portion for the fries. Awesome sauces… fresh ceasar sauce. Fry sauce had a lil sting. Awesome plating. Overall awesome. 9.5/10.

Loves the crispy salad too. Fresh ingredients.

Tiniest nitpick that I would’ve liked the chickpeas roasted and crispy like the breadcrums. Otherwise basically perfect. GO HERE!!!

Lovely the creativeness in having seaweed on the fries as well. Fries also fries to perfection and somehow felt fresh.

Again, awesome. Go here.

The praline tasted like Swedish Aladdin Christmas, but again. Fresh! And with love. ♥️

Pros: Nice staff, Epic food, Lovely cosy atmosphere

Cons: Price for the salad perhaps. Still worth it though, ^due to quality

Dinner vegan

The food was good (potato salad with skewer), so was the Swedish beer and the atmosphere.
I love the Chili cheese balls 😍

All the right vibes

A Sven-Restaurant offering changing all-vegan (of course!) food. Had a Caesar salad and cold roast beef sandwich. The food was unique and very tasty.

Delicious!

Delicious food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. We tried the chili cheeze balls, the baguette with saitan roast beef and the rice noodle salad with ginger tofu. All of it was amazing. My personal highlight was the "vegall" dessert, the nougat was sooo creamy. Well worth the money and the calories 😋

Pros: All vegan, Nice options

Cons: Somewhat pricey (though I guess thats just Sweden)

Great spot with good food

Great food with good range of choices, nice beer. Staff were friendly and helpful. I had the linguine and my husband had the tofu salad - both were delicious. Desserts were not quite as nice, but that was just our taste. Good price.

Incredible food at a vegan bar

The food was delicious at this small but perfectly formed bar. Also have to shout-out the staff who were super helpful and considerate - giving us a menu in English to save on translation.
Would happily have tried everything on the menu and will definitely be going back if I get the chance! Highly recommended if you're in Gothenburg.

Pros: Tasty food , Thoughtful staff, Great soundtrack

Hearty tasty food

I had the cheese plate starter. It came with 3 cheeses: a creamy dessert cheese, smoked cheese and hard cheese with apricot and caramelised red onion. The creamy dessert cheese was excellent, it was smooth and creamy and had quite a strong taste that was a bit pungent. I probably wouldn’t want it in my dessert. The other two cheeses were quite similar, they tasted good but the textures were a bit grainy. The accompaniments were all good, there was a good crisp seedy cracker,the little round cracker reminded me of an Indian Mathi and the slice of sourdough was covered in herb butter. There was a rhubarb marmalade with a hint of earl grey (that I couldn't pick), and some red onion marmalade which was more like some lightly pickled slices of red onion. They were both enjoyable accompaniments but nothing wild. It was a good hearty plate for a starter that was reflected in the price, with it being about 50% more expensive than the other available starters.

For mains, I went for the summer burger. A seitan burger in sourdough bread with mayo, lettuce, rocket pesto and homemade mozzarella. Of course, I paid extra to get the fries too. The patty was fine, nice and crispy on the outside and had a good savoury taste. The mozzarella was very enjoyable with a good texture and taste. It was a good tasty burger overall and I preferred it to the one from the night before (from Bastard Burger). The chips were the real star of the show, they were round crinkle cuts that were folded into a v shape. They were incredibly crispy and perfectly seasoned, I could have eaten them all night long.

Pros: Good hearty food, Everything is made in house

Cons: Some cheeses were a bit grainy, Burger could have had a bit more flavour

Love it!

I go here as often as a have the possibility - which is mabye once or twice a year. It’s a vegan, authentic, lovely place. The food is great, always somethibg new but also always some take on traditional husmanskost. Starters, main dishes and desserts - equally fabulous. Great vibe, good beer and nice staff as well. A must if you are vegan and you visit Gothenburg!

Pros: Atmosphere, Great food, desserts and drinks, It is just pure vegan love

Punk vibes

Last night I went up here. It’s open till late on Saturday night. One dish was not available anymore. I chose the seitan dish. It was good and tasty sauce. But the portion was not that big. Id wish for some more veggies and salad on the side. So I ordered some cheese balls. They were so good!
Nice beers on the menu and good punk music. This place was more like a bar than a restaurant I think. I was the only one eating and everyone was drinking. Too bad they closed otherwise I would stay in for another beer. The waitress was very
Nice. I’d def come back here to this cute place.

Top class vegan haven

A really cozy and cool place to come and hangout with some friends and family, have some food or just some drinks!
The food is delicious and the staff super friendly. You get a real “rural” small town bar feeling ☺️

Pros: Food, Drinks , Music

It was hard to choose from the menu, it all looked delicious. I had panko fried seitan with a hot sauce as a starter, and hoisin tofu wrap as a main. It was very tasty. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Pros: Very tasty, Not expensive, Good atmosphere

Nice food

Nice food but would have liked more options on the menu. The starters on the menu seemed more like side dishes, and the main dinner dishes were not that impressive. The food was still nice, but I’ve had better for the price.

Pros: Good drinks selection, Entirely vegan

Cons: It felt slightly unwelcoming, I’m not sure why, Expensive for the food on offer

Changing menus, but always superb

Everytime we are in Gothenburg we will go to blackbird. So this review combines 5 visits. The menu is always changing and offers some starters and 3 mains. Everytime the taste and the meal was on point. Be aware that menu online might be outdated!
This restaurant is not fancy, the food is not fancy or original, but very tasty. They produce a lot of their vegan cheese or meat by themselves.
You should know, that the restaurant has its roots in the animal rights punk scene. So music will be kinda punky, decoration is kinda punky.
I recommend to book a table beforehand!

Always good!

I’ve eaten at Blackbird twice and both times was very happy with my food. The previous time I ate here I had a killer Caesar salad and I hope it makes a reappearance in the future!

One of the best vegan restaurants in Sweden

This place offers a great variety of different flavors, all vegan and an ever changing menu. Everything from traditional swedish food to fast food to dishes from every other place. Always tasty food, nice staff and lots of options. Ten out of ten, would recommend! #Veganuary

Worth the hype?

I went there for the first time last time I visited Gothenburg and it was good, some elements was really really good!

And I loved the history behind the place so I’m sad to hear that they are or have been struggling a bit. But I would say it was worth the hype but it’ll get four stars because it’s a bit pricey…

Pros: Good food , All vegan

Cons: Bit pricey…
