Top Lunch restaurants in Lund, Sweden

The food tasted ok so the seasoning was good but the execution was not up to par. Ordered seafood linguini and the pasta was undercooked. A few minutes more and it might reach al dente. Also the octopus was poorly rinsed and some pieces still had the slimy bits on them. This together with too much starch in the sauce gave it all a disappointing experience. The starter was really good though.

Food is very tasty and seemed quite authentic, like I had been eaten in Italy. In the restaurant they only serve cooked food types, there is also a pizzeria in the next building, but it belongs to the same place. Staff is respectful and helping. They have also good Italian wines. Was quite a pleasure to eat here.

We were very happy to have found this place. The food was excellent and the patio in the courtyard is very secluded and great for meeting and chatting with old friends. Both the Swedish and Italian meals were yummy. Highly recommended.

Very nice atmosphere and cute waiters. As for the pizza, I am not quite Italian, but I like it. as for the dessert, not recommend for this price.

Not the regular place, the two were one but now is split but share the name, but the pizza place.
Quick ordr, quick service, and very easy to get changes to one. The waitress knew her menu, got our pizzass as we wanted them.
Real nice pizzas.

God mat och trivsamt ställe

We went here on a whim. The starter the beet salad had such delicious beets and the flavours mixed so well. The main was exquiaite, the pork belly was aimply devine. And last but not least their dessert, the meringue in the Eton Mess was simply to die for.

The staff was friendly and the chef knows his stuff! This is a definitive go to place.

There were 3 waiters and people were sitting at 4 tables. We were waiting for half an hour and we weren't served at all, although the waiters were busy chatting to each other. Big disappointment in such a charming place.

Samma mat och miljö som på andra Salads and Smoothies. Det är gott, men inte wow.

Loved the food and drinks.

Lovely authentic Italian restaurant. The service is very friendly and fast. The menu holds a number of unique plates you can order for a normal/reasonable price. The food is very good, tasty and of high quality!

It isn’t a restaurant
It’s a Church … Where the chemistry of italian food showed the most and the best
enjoy
we like every thing

Being located in Ideon science park, Edison is very close to my office and I have been a customer since they opened.
When they opened in 2012 (?) they were amazing with generous sized portions, and you were able to go back and ask for more if you weren't full. They have become more snål and expensive over the years, which is in itself understandable, but the food in general maintains a high level of quality.

Unlike many Swedish restaurants where you leave your tray of dirty plates on a shelf when you are done, here you are expected to sort your dirty dishes and rubbish / food waste - the only thing you don't do is start the dishwasher pretty much. Furthermore, the lines for collecting the food are long and chaotic, avoid this place at 12pm (going around 12:40 is a much quieter alternative)

My biggest and probably most legitimate complaint about Edison and the lower rating is the girl manning the cafe. She has been there since opening, and I have been coming in for years. She is always surly and indifferent, sometimes doesn't even greet me, has never bothered to learn my name and despite me ordering the same kind of coffee, there is zero proactivity. Clearly she either doesn't like me, or is in the wrong kind of job.

The other staff are friendly, especially the guys serving the food, and the food is on the whole very good. Now lunch costs 105:- excluding coffee so one needs to look at the menu and make sure it's appealing.

When it comes to coffee - its good there is a backup plan when our office cafe is closed (which is light years better when it comes to service and value) but I never feel welcome or glad when I am served by this Edison staff member.

Had a meal there as part of a conference dinner during the summer. We had drinks in the patio, the outdoor temperature was perfect for it, and moved inside for the meal. Everything was delicious, the service was efficient and very friendly. The lemon cake dessert with white chocolate sauce tasted as good as it looked.

Långa köer vid lunch men god sallad

Really decent vegetarian food, friendly and professional staff and my meat-eater friends were happy with their meatballs. The indoor premises are small and a bit too crowded, it gets quite noisy too but overall a really nice experience!

Good food but very small portions compared with similar restaurants in the area. You have to pay extra for a larger portion!!

Their cutlery and glasses are always dirty! Got lipstick on the things more than twice, the cups with bad smell. Last time I got blonde hair in my salad and I am not blonde- I was without my phone otherwise the picture would be here. Just imagine how is the kitchen inside you can’t see. Once I ordered a mango salad, it came mellow instead but nobody told me in advance. Rice was badly cooked, almost raw. Tasteless sauce. Long lines. I don't think it's worth the price.

One of the best vegetarian plates I have ever tried! I recommend it with all my heart.

Nice buffet, a bit spicy but tasty.

Really nice salad in a really nice environment.

Its a good alternative with nice salads but price is a bit high

Har varit här flera gånger, tyvärr så har jag inte provat så många av deras rätter då jag har fastnat för deras tonfisksallad. Och även om jag inte förstår vad rå blomkål har i mat att göra så samspelar mango tonfisk och chili så bra att jag kommer tillbaka igen och igen.
Lite överprisat men samtidigt mycket gott.

Good lunches for business with different options: local, green and world wide.

Riktigt bra sallader och smoothies. Ingen traditionell restaurang/cafemiljö men går utmärkt att sitta där eller ta med. Trevligt bemötande dessutom.

I've known this place for years...

- lagom in every way
- the angriest kitchen staff I've ever seen
- coriander in EVERYTHING - even the salad bar
- their queue system is anarchy and has seen 0 improvement in over 5 years

on the other hand...

- nearly every facsimile of an Indian dish is gold
- they do mash well
- their staff generally seems to care

Excellent! We had a really nice brunch. It was a buffet with cold options and one warm plate from the kitchen that you can order between 5 different options. The buffet had fresh bread, cheese, saurcream, salad... And juice, dessert and coffee included.
They also offered options for gluten free diet.
Special bonus for the waiters. We will definitely return there.
Ps. They offer more in the menu not only the brunch.

The food was really good. Ordered the beef shoulder, scallops, and the fish. All were really nicely cooked. The beef was very tender and juicy. The fish was done just right and the accompanying stock was very deep. Some of the garnishes were a bit salty, and could have had a bit more vegetables but all in all I was happy.

Service on the other hand wasn't great. They were quite friendly, but clearly inexperienced and not well trained. We had to wait for a while to be seated. It was difficult to get a server's attention. When they came with the food, the person serving us had no idea which dish was what.

That said, they were very accommodating to a table with various dietary requirements (gluten free, egg free, lactose free, vegetarian).

I think that if they train their staff a bit better this could become a great place.

Prisvärt!

Good food! Sometimes very crowded around lunchtime though.

2023 Update:

Extremly crowded around lunchtime.

Food lines are imposible to follow, just hope you stand in the right one.

Shrinkflation also seems to have affected the restaurant business since the price has gone up but the portion sizes goes down.

Snabbt och gott, men saknar pinnar att äta med!

Good value Thai lunch. SEK55 is one of the better deals for lunch in Lund 2018. Currently cut off by the tram construction, if you work around Ideon it is worth it to hike over and grab some good Thai takeaway.

Good Thai food to a great price only 55kr

God mat ofta kan det vara lite starkt men aldrig mycket aå det är inte någon fälla. Maten är ganska billig för 55 kr kan du äta inne och ingår liten sallad till maten. Studenter kan betala 50 kr om de tar med sig maten. Det som kan vara dåligt är att de ofta inte har alla 6-7 rätter inne när man kommer på dagen så vissa rätter är svåra att få tag i.

One of the better lunchrestaurants in the area. Edit: still going strong.
3 courses to choose from, 1 veg. Bread baked on premises.

Prisvärd lunch att ta med.

Good and cheap food (55 SEK).

Pizza here is excellent. The alacarte has been a disappointment. But go for the pizza: the wait may be long so book if you can. The waitress is fantastic, she is fast and well able to deal with the always busy restaurant floor. The pizza has good authentic ingredients and plenty of flavor.

our standard place to have lunch at work, staff is caring and nice , -1 for coffee not included and quite "dull" salads bar,
sometimes I have salmon wrap as a lunch - good option!

Typical Swedish food. Warm atmosphere but I think they should be a little bit more generous with the amount of protein in their meals 😊
