Helsingborg
How many cities in Sweden are on the doorstep of another country? Helsingør in Denmark is just a few kilometers away from Helsingborg, across the Øresund Strait. Helsingborg is not only close to the continent; just around the corner lies Kullabygden, with its farmers, growers, and food artisans. It’s hard to find better conditions for a restaurant or café owner. This is a selection of the most transparent and sustainable restaurants and cafés in Helsingborg for 2025.
