Kvarteret is the kind of place everyone wishes they had just around the corner. In the trendy Rosendal district, sustainable shopping meets a cosy café that transforms into a vibrant wine bar in the evening. The wine list focuses mainly on ethical wines from small European producers – and there are always at least a couple of Swedish wines available by the glass. Sommelier Hasse is an expert on Sweden’s own wine scene and also runs Svenska Hantverksdrycker.

Naturally, you can order delicious bites to go with your wine – from pizzas to cheeses and charcuterie sourced from the neighbouring shop. The bar also hosts regular wine tastings on various themes for those who want to deepen their knowledge of wine.
