A real hamburger joint in central Växjö. Umami Monkey offers tastes from the whole world, packaged in the form of hamburgers and side dishes. Umami Monkey takes ingredients that have a high concentration of umami and makes a fusion out of these. The inspiration comes from Marc O’ Polo’s travels with everything from parmesan to soy as flavoring. Umami Monkey maps many of the world’s corners taste wise – China, Mexico, the French colonies, Europe – fusion, quite simply. The idea is that the street is supposed to be the world’s food.

Dining
Växjö's many restaurants offer food from all corners of the world. The surrounding lakes, forests and meadows are a huge stockpile for all those who appreciate Småland gastronomy. Some of the restaurants are so good that their trophy cabinets are full of honours from the White Guide and other prominent restaurant guides. But Växjö is also a coffee break town where you are never far away from a classic patisserie. The oldest patisserie was founded in 1876 and is still run today by descendants of the founder, Johan Broqvist. Sweden's biggest food market is arranged annually in Växjö and the city has been awarded the distinction of being the Gastronomic Capital of the Year, by the Swedish government.
