FOOD
Lokal
Kyrkogatan 11, +46(0)31 13 3200, www.lokalgbg.se The food is good and reasonably priced but it’s the imaginative drinks that stand out at Lokal. Just ask the bartender for a surprise and you’re in for a treat. Main courses from 120 kronor (€12).
Krakow
Karl Gustavsgatan 28, +46 (0)31 20 3374, www.krakow.nu I love this place, not only for the hearty polish dishes and strong beverages, but also for the cosy atmosphere. Just avoid the Golonka if you’re not a huge fan of gigantic plates of meat. Main courses from 75 kronor (€7.50).

Looking to go clubbing on New Year’s Eve? Club Nefertiti (www.nefertiti.se) at Hvitfeldtsplatsen 6 is the place to be.
