Smörtaxen

Smörtaxen

The Smörtaxen restaurant can be found in a newly renovated garage building from the 1920s in the Citadel area. Behind the concept are chef Simon Tollesson, who previously worked at the Guide Michelin restaurant Vollmers in Malmö, and the communications agency Whyland. Together, they strive to give guests an intimate and fun dining experience with the raw material and the guest in the centre. Why the name Smörtaxen (Butter Dachshund in English)? Well, it's a small tablecloth detail in the form of a dog that you can lean the butter knife against. In the restaurant you will find one on every table.

Helsingør–Helsingborg Ferry — the HH Route

Helsingør–Helsingborg Ferry — the HH Route

When you're in Helsingborg, don't miss out on the most "Helsingborgian" thing you can do — "tura." This involves taking a ferry between Helsingborg in Sweden and Helsingør (Elsinore) in Denmark, staying on board for a short while without disembarking. Here's how it works: board the ferry in Helsingborg, settle into the onboard restaurant, order some food and drinks, as well as shopping, and enjoy cruising back and forth across the Öresund/Øresund strait. Several evenings throughout the year, live musicians perform on the boats. The ferry takes 20 minutes to cross the strait and runs two to four times an hour, depending on when you travel. A single "tura" is a round-trip from Helsingborg to Helsingør. Typically, people go for a double or even triple "tura".

Located right at the water's edge in Helsingborg, Sillen & Makrillen offers stunning views of the Öresund Strait and Denmark. It's a place to unwind, watching boats pass by as the sun sets on the horizon. While the atmosphere is especially delightful in the summer, it remains just as enjoyable during the darker months. Imagine indulging in a delicious dinner on a stormy autumn day, with howling winds and waves crashing against the windows. At Sillen & Makrillen, the focus is on the food and the sea, particularly fish and shellfish.
