Steakhouse Bruggeriet
Långgatan 20
About
With such a name, you would expect the best steaks in Lund. And this place delivers. The novel restaurant was originally built in 1749 as a warehouse for malt; in 1996, a team of local entrepreneurs installed a series of large copper vats and transformed the site into a pleasant, cozy restaurant and brewery. Today they specialize in two "tastes" of beer -- a lager and a dark -- that are marketed under the brand name Ysta Färsköl. Food items served here seem carefully calibrated to taste best when consumed with either of the two beers. The kitchen doesn't like to go in for culinary experiments, adopting the concept that if it was good enough for grandfather, it is good enough for today's patrons. That seems to sit well with the patrons, who order such dishes as fried herring marinated in mustard and sour cream, or the grilled salmon in a red-wine sauce. Swedish lamb is well flavored with garlic and fresh herbs, and the tenderloin steak meets the perfect match in a brandy sauce. On some occasions, we've seen succulent versions of barbecued ribs, just like they serve them in Dixie, on the menu.
