The White Guide App is an one-in-all app covering all restaurants and cafés we have reviewed. There are three language options and besides full reviews, with facts and points awarded, you’ll find the latest restaurant news. With the help of an interactive map it’s easy to find the best restaurants close to your location. The White Guide covering Sweden has been published since 2005 and 800 restaurants are tested every year, of these there are 600 who are included in the guide. The other available guides are White Guide Café (Swedish), covering the very best cafés in Sweden, White Guide Denmark (Danish) covering the best Danish restaurants, the White Guide Nordic (English), covering the 300 best restaurants in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Greenland, The Faroe Islands and Estonia. The White Guide is the authoritative guide and one of the driving forces behind the ongoing development of both gastronomy and restaurant culture in the Nordics. The key is thorough, high-quality reviews with a personal touch, complete with transparent evaluation criteria and journalistic integrity. All of White Guide’s reviewers are anonymous, bookings are made under pseudonym and the check is paid without exception. Restaurants are primarily rewarded for personality, innovation, sustainability and ambience. We also report on the latest restaurant news, as well as current trends.
