Lava

The Spis take

A big, easygoing café-bar right on the Åboulevaden waterfront that runs from morning brunch through late cocktails. The draw is the setting and the value: a well-priced brunch plate, big riverside windows, and a long drinks list that keeps it busy well into the small hours on weekends. It's a crowd-pleaser rather than a foodie destination, and service can wobble when it's slammed, but for a relaxed brunch or a riverside drink it does the job.
