Had dinner here so many times. I’ve had lunch too! Never been disappointed or anything. I love the wine list and if you haven’t had the strawberry beer it’s well worth it.

Good vegetarian choices too!

Hahahaha David I think it is a passionate, witty, waiter as well

I’ve had dinner here about 5 or so times. Never been disappointed in the slightest. Only problem is narrowing down what tapas to choose, they are all so delicious. Heard good things about the pizzas too. And the staff are great, always so nice and friendly. So nice to sit outside on the couches, under the heaters too!

Visited Gothenburg purely based on the reviews here in MenuMania.. Would have liked to have given them 5 stars as in many ways do they deserve it.

The food was very well cooked and well presented, the quantity of food on the plate was just right. So it did not you leave bloated or hungry after three courses.
Their beer list is impressive at nearly 20 pages and many I have not seen before and some of the fruit beers were quite tasty.
The Restaurant is more in the Cafe stile than restaurant so bit noisy with wooden floors but is very well appointed.
Service is one place that lets them down, it is very disjointed with you being served by just about every waitress/waiter with varying levels of service quantity. Some very exceptional, other not so much.
From a drinks perspective the wine list was very limited with less than one page covering White, Red and Sparkling. But saying that most of the wines listed are/were gold medal winners..

Definitely a favourite. The food, wine, beer and staff are exceptional. We have dined here a number of times and we find that everything we experience is consistently fabulous. The menu changes regularly which is great, however the pork belly is amazing and the cheeseboard is equally great. I have noticed these don’t leave the menu but the favours may change which is perfect.

I was on a road trip to Hamilton so we did some research on restaurants before we went. The previous reviews have proven to be so true. This is definitely a 5-star restaurant for me. The service was SUPERB and so were the food.

We had 2 tapas, the seared scallops and the duck with mandarin pancakes. The sauce and scallops just went SO well together, so did the herbs and duck. We had a spiced beef pizza which tasted really good, even for someone like me who usually aren’t keen on strong spices. The taste merges well and it was very enjoyable. The restaurant has a huge selection on beer too.

Gothenburg alone makes me want to go to Hamilton again and again and again…

Had lunch here last weekend with a friend. We both ordered pizzas (which came with a glass of wine $20). Food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and professional. Will definately be going back sometime soon.

Best Pork Belly I have EVER had. Yellow curry Mussels were also stand out.

Plus it’s nice to have such a great range of Belgian beer somewhere that also does amazing food. I’ll be back. Weekly!

Something a little different; delicious tapas with a European theme alongside tasty pizzas. Some friends and I decided to try Gothenburg for lunch, and were not disappointed! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu without being pushy. The food was fresh, well cooked and nicely presented. The goat cheese pizza and patatas arrugadas were highlights, as were the warmed olives.
I have been back several times and every time been impressed with the food, atmosphere and service. Highly recommended.
