Levantine Bistro - Gothenburg

Came here with friends on a recommendation from a local. The ambiance and decor had a nice classic French bistro feel to it. Our server was very friendly and helped me with the menu since it was only in Swedish. Our table started out with the fried scallops and it was delicious. My main course was the Cod with small shrimps in a delicious sauce with horseradish. The cod was tender and the shrimp had a fresh sweetness to them. I would definitely order that dish again. Everyone at the table enjoyed their dishes. The only downside was that it took a long time to get the food. Overall the experience was wonderful!

Our experience at Levantine was far from pleasant. The lengthy wait for our order was frustrating, and when it finally arrived, the meal lacked the expected taste and quality. Adding insult to injury, other patrons who arrived later got their food before us. To make matters worse, they forgot to serve the coffee with our dessert. The only reason it’s not 1 star is because the server was humorous and understanding of all our disappointments. A disappointing visit.

Super busy place. Food is fresh and nicely cooked. Some room for the service to be improved.

Oh man the food here was more than 5 stars. The service was top notch. Enjoyed a great dinner with new friends.

The restaurant came highly recommended. Was here for dinner with a friend, a Thursday night, but still I'd say booking is almost essential to secure your seats. There are limited options for non-meat eaters, I did hesitate to try the cauliflower steak (which I kind of regret) and went with the halloumi burger instead. The burger was nice, lots of favours that didn't conflict with each other, but unexpectedly the skin-on French fries absolutely stole the show and I would rank them at god-tier. Freshly fried to the temperature just right, not oily, well seasoned yet not too salty. We were offered some complimentary pieces of bread and butter, was nice though beware the bread could be difficult to bite into. Good range of drinks available. Wish I had time to go back and see what their take on the cauliflower steak was like. Staff were reasonably friendly.
