Le Petit Café

Delicious chicken lunch. Quite cosy and welcoming. The flavor of everything was really good. The cost for a full lunches was very reasonable. 85 kronas. I’d definitely recommend.

Dieses Café hat mehrere Filialen in Göteborg. Wir waren sowohl für Kaffee und Kuchen in der Filiale in der Haga Nygata 2 als auch für ein kleines Dinner in der Filiale in der Linnégatan 38 A. In beiden herrscht Selbstbedienung. Der Kuchen war wirklich sehr gut, als auch der Salat mit Parmaschinken und Mozzarella und die Pizza mit Pepperoni (scharfe das Salami). Bei Essen und Kuchen wurde auf gute Zutaten und mit Auge für’s Detail gearbeitet. Die Cafés selbst haben eine Wohlfühl– und relaxten Atmosphäre wie früher bei Oma, besonders das in der Haga Nygata. Wirklich toll.

I visited with my girlfriend Emma on a busy Saturday afternoon and it wowed my socks off!
Cakes pouring out of the kitchen Marie-​Antoinette-​style, lashings of tea and all a stones throw away from the hubbub of järntorget.
An essential Gothenburg experience!

We ate a late lunch there yesterday — or actually, my husband ate lunch because I wasn’t hungry. He got an open-​faced sandwich with chicken & brie which cost 59 SEK, and he said it was delicious. The woman behind the counter was pleasant and we really liked the interior; it reminded us of the French countryside. The previous reviewer mentioned how crowded the place is during mid-​morning, therefore apparently we visited at a good time; only two other tables were occupied (although I think the outdoor seating was full).

This morning I gave this place another shot.
This place seems to be one of the most popular in the city for breakfast. It is perfectly located and has potential to be really really cozy with the odd old furnitures (shabby chic) that always seems to attract. But this place is too crowded. So be prepared to fight your way in…
Once you get inside the problems starts… the counter is placed the furthest in and with customers sitting at the tables it is a bit annoying.
Then if you are lucky enough to find a seat after buying (because everyone occupy the seats before standing in line), the odd old tables are a bit low. Being tall isn’t ideal here.
We were lucky enough to get here just before rush hour — 10.15 pm. Then it got crazy! So try to be here before 10 to get a decent seat (they open at 10). Do not sit by any tables by the door — you’ll either get cold or crazy.
The staff is really friendly, but of course buzy when it is crowded.
The breakfast itself is good — you get some choices regarding bread and pastries. I’d wish for a little more greek yoghurt (but it is good). The eggs are newly boiled and you can have kaviar! I guess people like this place for the interior and giving a feeling to be a bit special.
They have a reading ex of local paper GP.
