Good but overrated

Dishes were good, but small. Cheese balls could've included a sauce, baguette could've included some lettuce maybe.

Food was tasty, but overall we think it does not live up to the hype.

Pros: Chocolate mousse dessert, Garlic fries, Interior and atmosphere

Cons: Expensive, Minimal portions

Lovely food and service

We all had the stuffed tortellini and it was amazing to have a creamy sauce that tasted better than I remember cheese ever had! The service was lovely and the staff were all friendly and happy to give recommendations.

Everything you could ask for

This place has amazing food and they change up the menus often so there's no time to get tired of their food.

Haven't had the time yet to visit their Christmas table but I hope I will have time this year.

My favourites from eating there was baguette with skagenröra and mac 'n cheese

Pros: Awesome food, Good location, Changes of menu each season

Vegan food and bar

I came here on a Friday evening, and things were pretty calm. There were just a couple of tables filled, but otherwise, the place was pretty empty, which was great for me. I had finished a long week at a conference and just needed somewhere to relax and read/write for a bit, so this was perfect.
I had a glass of beer and the vegan cheese plate. It came with 4 cheeses, pickled beets, and a handful of breads/crackers. It was really tasty. The place is a bit of a trek from the more frequented parts of town, but I would come back to try their other offerings.

Wide selection on the menu

Always very nice choices of main courses and desserts with a stable tasty couple of starters as well. They also have a good selection of beers.

Pros: Changes the menu so it's fresh, Nice desserts, Nice bar

Cons: No outdoor seating

Amazing food and bar

Since I haven’t been vegan for longer then 1,5years and been abroad a while I have a lot of restaurant to try out in Gothenburg, my hometown. I’ve already heard a lot of good rumors about Black Bird and it sure lived up to them! The food was a-mazing! The people working there we’re lovely and I will sure be back, if you have the chance to go there; DO IT!

Pros: The amazing food!, The great hospitality!

Nice chilled out place

A nice place to spend an evening, although slightly lacking in atmosphere somehow. I had the cheese plate, which was pretty good. The IPA was very pricey, but I guess that's Sweden for you.

Good restaurant!

I have eaten there many times since I live in Gothemburg and I think it's a cool place to go with friends. Tasty food, not the healthiest but still worth try! Nice music and helpful staff. They also have good beers and wine, amazing desserts. Close to the tram stop Stigbergstorg. Reasonable price for being Sweden.

One of my favorite dishes is the soup I tried last time I went there. Unfortunately I forgot what was on it! I shared a picture in the gallery anyway.

Remember to book! It's quite popular and often full.

Pros: Delicious desserts, Cool music and place, Helpful staff

Cons: Not the healthiest option , I recommend to book in advance

well made seitan

Homemade seitan fajitas was very good, spicey and really tasty. Banh mi' was good too, crispy, spicey and a good mix of flavours.
One of us (lacto-vegetarian) does not usually like vegan food but liked this a lot

My favorite restaurant

Blackbird never disappoints. I can come here and pay a reasonable price for absolutely delicious and inspiring entrées, appetizers, and desserts.
The rotating menu with new dishes all the time is awesome!
What's not to love? Nothing really. Would be amazing if they went all organic. I'm in love with this restaurant, so I write this critique with care.
Also a real testament to kickstarter funding of a restaurant. Inspiring.

Pros: great food, great staff, great atmosphere

Cons: could be more organic ingredients?

Göteborg's best vegan restaurant

Blackbird is a the ideal place for a vegan. Everything they serve is vegan, so you don't need to worry about ingredients (and that's a calming feeling).

They have a rotating menu which comes with changes every now and then. They try hard to create tasty meals that are both generous in size and taste amazing. After 10 or so visits to this place, we've always left the place with a big grin on our content faces.

Only negative thing with the place is that it can sometimes be difficult to get a table, since the place is so popular.

We've tried vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants in many countries and Blackbird has set the standard when we compare other restaurants. So far no other place has topped this place.

Bring your veg and non-veg friends here and they'll guaranteed be satisfied with the evening. Strongly recommended!

Pros: Everything

Cons: Sometimes difficult to get tables

A bar with a nice name and good food

An all vegan bar with great cooks in the kitchen, what isn't there to like! And unlike most bars they change the menu and tend to experiment with the food which i can appriciate. I'd like if the could get more food on the plate and it's a bit pricey for me but besides that, I'd gladly go there again.

Pros: good food, not aiming to be the "healthy vegan pub"

Cons: a bit pricey, not very big portions

Amazing place!

One of the best restaurants I've been to in Sweden! The food is pretty cheap, and the place is really cozy. We came on a Friday night and waited 5 minutes to get a table. For starters we had the Sweet potato fries and chili cheese tops, everything homemade and not greasy at all. As main course I had the Seitanschnitzel with potatoes, tasted better than the "real deal". Would definitely come back!

Pros: Cheap, Great atmosphere, Tasty comfort food

I was here for a couple of weeks ago for a friends birthday. While it may not the fanciest of food joints, so was the food pretty good and the staff felt genuine and friendly.

Pros: Great staff, Good value, Nice vibe

Cons: Not the healthiest food, A tad noisy

Vegan comfort food

This is a nice place that need a little bit more healthy options. The first time I was there two out of three maindishes were deep fired. The food was pretty bland with deepfried cheese with deepfried potatoes and some grated raw beetroot. Staff was friendly, the place was packed, on a tuesday.

Then I gave it a second chance a fem months later and was Happy with My smoked tofu and broccoli pie! Also we ordered tofu ribs with potatoe sallad wich Aldo was awesome! So I Highly recomend black bird!

Pros: staff, atomosphere, all vegan

This is a must visit!

Blackbird is my favorite restaurant ever. The food is always beyond excellent and reasonably priced. Menu changes from time to time and it's always both innovative, genuine and genius.

Perfect for everybody with a sweet tooth

Me and my company (both non-vegans) had chocolate truffles and a passion-fruit meringue tart and we were blown away by the awesomeness of their tasty food. The tart crust was probably the best short pastry I came across in my whole life. The toppings of the truffles were smartly chosen and fitted the taste of the chocolate very well without drowning out the cocoa. We only had dessert so I can't make any remarks about the savory dishes they serve, though the plates for our fellow guests looked wonderful.

Pros: very creative menu, cakes change weekly

Cons: Menu is only printed in Swedish

Wonderful little vegan restaurant.

I went here based on the Happy Cow reviews and I was not disappointed. The menu is in Swedish, but my server explained all the options to me in detail. I ordered the fried tofu and bok choy. It was the best dish on my Scandinavian trip so far. It was very tasty with a bit of a kick. I had a wonderful vegan cheesecake for dessert. The alcohol offerings were slightly limited since they want to ensure that they're vegan. My server was extremely friendly and my orders came out very quickly. As far as prices are concerned, they were cheap for Sweden, but comparable to the US.

Pros: All vegan., Delicious food., Fast, friendly service.

Cons: Menu only in Swedish.

A Great Bar In Gothenburg

I finally made it to Blackbird, and I was not disappointed. It is a bit of an alternative atmosphere, so it wont be for everyone. That being said, the staff were great and the food was really good. It's a bar, so don't expect the healthiest options.

It's only open in the evenings, which means it's always quite packed. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the city!

Pros: Good Food, Good Staff, Good Music

Cons: Not Cheap, Only Open In Evenings

Best vegan place in Gothenburg

If you want good vegan food in Gothenburg, this is the place. Everything is made from scratch. Rotating menu, so if you frequent there you will most likely find something new. Great atmosphere and music turned low. Good prices. Friendly staff. I could go on forever...
If you want to be sure to get a seating (half of the tables are drop-in, other half is for booking) it's good to book beforehand since it can get quite crowded the first couple of hours.

Pros: Homemade, Cheap, Atmosphere

Amazing seasonings

Were there for the first time yesterday. We booked the last table available :-) We chose 2 of the 4 maincourses. Amazing good well seasoned food. I was disturbed by the music but then Me and my husband were the oldest in there. Might be a generation thing. Looking forward to go back and try the other dishes.
