A new and welcome addition to the Visby restaurant climate

We found Vår Fru when looking for alternatives for a night out in Visby. When we read the menu it seemed like a good option so we made a reservation a few days ahead, and we decided to visit beforehand and check how much of the vegetarian menu could be made vegan.
When we got there, the servers were slightly unsure, but went to ask the head chef, who promptly came out to meet us himself.
With a very positive vibe and clear enthusiasm for creating great dishes he assured us he could make the whole menu viable (except for maybe the pork belly dish, but hey, we never asked).
This got us excited, our reservation couldn't come soon enough.

And me oh my, did the excitement get fulfilled.

Starting with a cocktail we ordered a Vår Fru Fashioned, a take on an Old Fashioned, which was incredible, with burnt wheat and apple character, alongside a Grönt Är Skönt which was a tart key-lime-pie-ish cocktail with aquafaba foam on top, not needing to be requested. See pictures.

We skipped appetizers, though I have full faith most of those could have been made vegan as well, and went right into the main courses.
2-3 dishes was the recommended amount, so naturally we went for the 6 vegetarian (only one dish was non-lacto-ovo) dishes made vegan between the two of us.
Every dish that came in was different, nothing was like any other vegan dish we'd ever been served, which spoke volumes in itself. The creativity and innovation with fantastic ingredients shone through. A key point here is that even though the dishes were changed from lacto-ovo to vegan we felt like none of the dishes had been compromised, no dish felt like it was missing something critical, because the chef had replaced whatever wasn't vegan with something just as well thought-out and fitting to the dish.

The chef then personally came out to discuss dessert with us, describing what his suggestion was, we were sold and went for it. A mandarin sorbet with hazelnut crunch, krusbär compote and locally sourced apple cider.

One key point to make the menu more vegan accessible would be to print information about it being an option, alongside the chef needing to inform the servers what could be done for vegan diners. A vegan option for the dessert on the menu wouldn't hurt, it sure as hell, deserved to be there.

Pros: Very thoughtful personnel and especially chef, Innovative and creative, Locally sourced produce, eco/organic focus

Cons: Unclear whether menu is vegan-friendly
