About
The ambience here is considerably more sober than in most of the other restaurants on this fun-loving island, but once the dining is out of the way, the place really livens up. This restaurant and bar in the town center originally was built as a tavern in the early 1600s on foundations that are much older. It was enlarged in 1789 and today is one of the oldest buildings (if not the oldest) in Visby. The menu is solid and reliable, featuring fresh ingredients; it offers fish and meat dishes, as well as some vegetarian specialties. You might begin with a delectable fish soup made with lobster and shrimp, then follow with filet of sole Waleska or roast lamb chops. The dessert specialty in summer is a parfait made of local berries.
