Pivo - Passion för vilt

So, great atmosphere. The appetizer tartare was awesome but got served way too early (about 2 min after we got our starting cocktails). Main courses were split: the skewers were amazing (and coneable) but the wild boar was under-salted and a bit over-cooked but apart from that a very good dish. Service was good, drink prices significantly lower than we’re used to in these kinds of places, and for once a cheese platter left nothing wanted. Go here, sit outside, and enjoy.

We had the Christmas table (Julbord) and it was absolutely fantastic! I was looking for a place that offers a Julbord with a twist to it since I find the traditional one rather boring. This was exactly what I was hoping for: One could recognise the structure and classic dishes of a Julbord but with different, wild ingredients as well as several new dishes. It was worth every crown and I am looking forward to coming back to try the regular menu!

I absolutely recommend this place if you're in Gothenburg. First of all, the staff is very friendly and helpful (they explained everything about the dishes and the ingredients), and the food was an absolutely brilliant experience. We were offered bread and butter as a starter, which was very tasty. We wanted to try something local and peculiar, and this restaurant certainly had what we were looking for: we tried the venison tartare, the venison fillet and the boar steak and they left us speechless. The venison is soft and literally melts in your mouth, and I particularly enjoyed the combination of boar meat with nduja and tomatoes. I cannot thank the waiter enough for reommending those dishes to us. I must say they didn't feel too expensive as the quality was very high. We'll certainly go again if we happen to visit Gothernburg again!

We had the pleasure of dining at Pivo - Passion för Vilt, a gem of a restaurant tucked away in the heart of the city. The name itself, translating to "Passion for Game," sets an exciting premise, and I’m thrilled to say the experience lived up to the promise. Upon entering, the rustic yet modern decor immediately set a cozy, welcoming ambiance. The menu is focusing on seasonal and locally sourced game meats. I started with the croquettes on wild boar, which were a revelation. These crispy delights were filled with tender, flavorful meat that melted in my mouth. For my main course, we chose the venison steak, and game burger with dirty fries which were exceptional. The service at Pivo stood out for its professionalism and warmth. The staff was eager to share their knowledge of the dishes, contributing to a more engaging dining experience. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience.

I loved the place! First, so welcoming and fun people working there, I greatly appreciated a small talk. Second, the meat was just perfect. Everything is well balanced and well presented, nothing to add 👌 Paid around 270 for duck breast and 370 for a beef steak. Glass of wine approx 160 kr.
