Eva's Paley

My Mom and I just arrived in Gothenburg yesterday and while out for a walk on Christmas Day, this place was open and welcoming so we stopped in. They have their menu also in English, which is a nice touch when traveling to somewhere new. My Mom is Gluten Free and they had about 8 options for her to choose from. But, she really wanted the Gingerbread Muffin with Cream Cheese icing. So she got that along with a large Earl Grey Tea. The mug was the size of a pot. I also got a muffin and a large Caramel Latte. Love the cup it came in. They had space on the main floor is some beautiful purple chairs that we snagged and enjoyed our treats and warm drinks while we watched the people walk by. I will be telling all those who I am traveling with about this place as they have lots of seating, great menu options and it's close to our hotel. My Mom and I both agree that we will return a few times before we leave as this first experience in Gothenburg has made the start of our trip a memorable one.

Such a disappointment...in recent years, Eva's Paley has been an obvious lunch restaurant when my colleague and I visit Gothenburg for work. Unfortunately, we have seen a gradual deterioration. The benches where the food is placed were very dirty, in several places, full of old food scraps. Almost everything was gone, cutlery, salt & pepper, honey, napkins, gluten-free bread. Many tables had dishes that had not been cleared, and it was not even possible to put your own tray in the dish rack as it was full. Hope it gets better soon!
