Fria Bad - Helsingborg

Two times a week, THAT is good. Love their pasta puttanesca and pizza options (Bee Sting is my favorite so far! Ambience and furniture are very beautiful. The staff was very nice; they are 2 men who also work the bar. I'm definitely back.

First of all it is important to note that the majority of ratings refer to the previous ownership(s) under the name “Barfota” I just managed in September this year to go to the the newly branded place Fria Bad Bar. Service was friendly and efficient. The food was for me a mixed plate. The starter beef tartar was killed with some kind of spicy mayonnaise. Why? Good quality Tatar doesn’t need any kind of sauce. Nothing wrong with adaptations but this one just killed any form of flavour that the meat might have had. The main was a beef filet with pepper sauce that was ordered medium. The meat was extremely tender and through that managed to cover for the almost well done steak. However, the pepper sauce was nice, the meat good, so the medium well done steak was ok. The chips on the side were underwhelming, I would almost call them old, dry, close to being not edible. Overall it’s a nice location that offers in summer stunning views across the Öresund. Drinks are good and food seems to be a mixed bag. At the price points offered I think a mediocre experience is not acceptable hence the two stars only.

Nice place at the foot of the beach with good little dishes to share with friends or for a nice dinner too...

I visited Barfota several times and every time the experience has improved. To my last visit, they've completely nailed it and I'm very impressed. The food is excellent and good value for money. The wine list is decent and of course the location is absolutely excellent.

Slow service, had to call them for attention every time, which doesn't match the setup they seem to want to have I think, maybe not regular staff, anyway, otherwise good food and nice place!
