We were after something to eat after walking around Lund and looking at the cathedral and bits of the famous university. We settled on Hemma Hos Greken, a basement Greek restaurant with a name that translates as 'Home of the Greeks'.
Fitting with the surroundings, this definitely has the appearance of a student hangout - basic but not unwelcoming despite the slightly stern staff. It is not your normal Greek restaurant, but more homely traditional Greek dishes were ladled up from a counter, with most being vegetarian.
I got some of their famous lentil soup with garlic:
The presentation and roll were nothing special, but the soup was tasty, warm and filling, perfect for a cold day.
ihascupcake got the hearty vegetable stew:
The stew didn't seem particularly 'Greek', or at least our normal perception of Greek food. However, it was quite filling and lovely, felt like a nice home cooked meal.
This for the remarkably cheap price of 45 krona each, or £4, and we were even offered free refills.
The restaurant is only opened on Monday through Friday, from 11am to 4pm. Not a bad place for a quick cheap lunch when in Lund, especially in the winter!
