PM & Vänner Bistro is the popular, informal bistro at the heart of the PM & Vänner group in Småland. The group also includes a fine-dining restaurant, a rooftop bar, a flower room and a bakery. The bistro focuses on local and nearby ingredients, and the venue describes its food as top-level for reasonable money.

A menu described on the venue’s page, published in August 2021, gives a sense of its approach, though it is not a current menu. Dishes included whole-roasted cauliflower with quail eggs from Lammhult, grated summer truffle and rye crumbs, and baked Arctic char paired with white Burgundy. Another example was risotto with edible flowers and fresh herbs from the group’s garden. A dessert combined strawberries, wild strawberries, pink pepper, vanilla and lime.

The page describes a glass of white wine from San Gimignano in Tuscany with the cauliflower, and Simon Bize & Fils white Burgundy with the fish. It also describes finishing the evening with a pink drink at the group’s rooftop bar, looking over Växjö’s rooftops. The bistro is presented as brasserie-like, with relaxed surroundings and knowledgeable, friendly service.
