Vollmers

Vollmers is a restaurant with two Michelin stars on Tegelgårdsgatan, a cobbled street in the old town of Malmö, Sweden. It is a family restaurant led by the chef Mats Vollmer.

In 2017 Vollmers gained its second Michelin star, becoming one of only a handful of Swedish restaurants at that level, and it still holds both in the 2026 guide. Mats Vollmer sums up the aim as serving the best of the soil of Skåne through a personal philosophy, pairing local produce with modern technique. The cooking is often placed within New Nordic cuisine.

Dishes have included cod with kohlrabi and mustard, cauliflower with plum and a curry made in the Skåne style, and a quail egg with lumpfish roe and nettle. The family also serves dishes remembered from childhood, and the tables are laid with silver cutlery inherited from earlier generations. The tasting menu comes in several lengths, and dinner is the only service.

Old silver, recipes from home and produce from the surrounding farmland all point the meal back to the region and to the family that runs the place. Skåne is the most agricultural part of Sweden, and a kitchen that builds its menu on that soil gives diners a taste of the landscape outside the city. A small room on an old street keeps the evening intimate, closer to a dinner at home than a grand dining hall. The restaurant also appears on La Liste, which tracks leading restaurants around the world.
