Göteborg: Incontro.

Today I had a brunch date in Incontro, a restaurant on the first floor of Hotel Gothia Towers (Mässans gata 24).

I called them yesterday, to make a reservation. But I was told that they were fully booked, and since the Book Fair is in town there would probably be a lot of people. I got a little disappointed, since I had been looking forward to visit this restaurant. However, we decided to give it a try. And we were lucky! We were there 11:10, almost one hour before they did open the brunch. It was possible to sit in the area with not reserved tables, and wait. But it was almost empty, so we decided to go outside and sit in the sun for a few minutes while waiting for the clock to be 12. Around 11:30 we went back inside, and got to choose between two tables. A few minutes later also the other table was taken. So I guess you have to be there at 11:30 the latest, to get a table.

The brunch is served only on Sundays, and costs 159 Sek. Different kinds of salads, bread, smoothie in shot glasses, sausages, ribs, scrambled eggs, pizza, corn, pancakes, fruits, apple pie, tiramisu, cheeses,… A lot of nice and well prepared food. It’s in a piano bar, so you get to enjoy your food to live music. The tables aren’t squeezed together, and the volume isn’t too high. A really nice, calm, and relaxing Sunday brunch.
