Atmosphere and setting
Slaktaren sits on a small square in the middle of Lomma and is genuinely also a butcher's shop, where you can buy charcuterie and meat to take home. The concept in the restaurant is that you choose a fine piece of meat and put together your own sides, and beyond that there are also perfectly ordinary dishes on the menu. The set-up actually reminds us a little of Mash in Denmark, just with a butcher's counter at one end of the room.
We sat outside on the terrace on the square, and it is an incredibly beautiful spot. We had been here before, so we knew what we were in for, and still we were every bit as taken with it this time. If there has to be one small but, it is the location. The square is charming, but had the place been down by the harbour, it would have been magical.
What we ate
We started with marinated olives at 75 SEK and a board with 65 grams of charcuterie at 145 SEK, and alongside we shared a bottle of Sancerre Blanc from Jolivet at 855 SEK. The girls had Loka with lemon, Cola Zero and Sprite at 39 SEK each, so everyone was well set from the start.
Then came the meat. We had the bone-in entrecôte at 695 SEK and the Iberico pluma at 365 SEK, and here I have to say it plainly. The pluma is underrated. It was wonderfully good and the clear highlight of the evening among the three cuts. Everything was cooked to perfection, and that is, after all, what you come to a butcher's for.
To finish we had a chocolate fondant at 135 SEK, and with coffee an Irish coffee at 159 SEK and an espresso martini at 140 SEK. So there we sat under the heat lamps on the square and enjoyed it, simply so cosy.
The children's menu
The girls had the children's steak, a beef fillet medallion Bern at 195 SEK, and we ordered extra chips at 65 SEK, because those always disappear fast. It is a very well-thought-out children's menu, and for dessert they had the children's ice cream at 85 SEK. So if you have children with you, Slaktaren is a place where everyone leaves happy.
Service
Excellent service all the way through. We sat down outside on the terrace, and the heaters were switched on straight away, without us having to ask. It is those small things that make you relax immediately. Honestly, there was nothing that did not work that evening.
Price and value
The bill came to 3.031 SEK for the whole party, with a bottle of Sancerre, snacks, three meat dishes, dessert, children's ice cream and two drinks with coffee. Did we get value for money? Yes, very much so. It is not cheap, but the quality of the meat is so high that we think the price is entirely fair. And none of us got up from the table feeling we had paid too much.
Slaktaren is still our clear favourite in Lomma, and it is no coincidence that we keep coming back. The meat is outstanding, the people are lovely, and the terrace on the square is a delightful place to sit on a summer evening. We will certainly be back, and next time it will probably be the pluma for every adult at the table. Warmly recommended from us.
