The story
PM & Vänner, at Storgatan 22-24 in Växjö, is a New Nordic restaurant that earned one Michelin star in 2026. The kitchen works with produce from the Småland countryside, and the group's fine-dining room, bistro and rooftop bar all draw on the same local supply.
The menu relies on local and locally sourced ingredients. A roasted cauliflower course comes with quail eggs from Lammhult and shaved summer truffle, finished with crumbs of the dark rye bread Mörka Småland. Herbs and edible flowers are picked from the group's own garden. The White Guide singled out the wine service as well, with chefssommelier Rubén Sanz Ramiro pairing a white Burgundy with the baked trout.
The bistro forms the heart of the group, with a classic brasserie feel and a relaxed evening pace. Dessert brings together strawberries, wild strawberries, pink peppercorn, vanilla and lime. Guests can finish upstairs at the rooftop bar, where a rosy cocktail echoes the sunset over Växjö's rooftops.
