We wrapped up our stay in Gothenburg with a leisurely day catching up on sleep and resting our legs – standing up for hours at a festival is hard work! Jinx was a restaurant with vegan options just a short walk from our hotel, so it was perfect for our lazy plans. It’s a nice restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, and friendly service. Unfortunately, there was just one labelled vegan option on the menu when we visited.

The vegan bao buns were nice fluffy buns, filled with a big slab of crispy tofu, some pickles, kimchi, and a gochujang mayo. The textures were fun, and the flavour was good too – spicy, but not too much, and the tofu was a good vessel for the strong flavours.

The buns were really nice, but this was the only vegan option and it was not really enough for a full meal for us – it would need a third bun for that. Two buns feels like a light bite to me. We were impressed by the buns, but not by the menu, which was really lacking in vegan options.

A very short walk from the restaurant is Trädgårdsföreningen, a lovely park with well-tended rose gardens and fun water features, amongst other things. It was a charming spot for a post-meal saunter in the gentle Swedish sunshine!
