History
Gate up and gate down" is an old expression in Norrköping. From Strömmen it undoubtedly slopes Drottninggatan slowly upward for a couple of kilometres along the tram tracks, but at the corner towards Hospitalsgatan you can stop walking. There lies the city's new bistro, Nous. With windows facing both streets the view is good, but it still feels secluded. The interior is bright and open. Attentive and friendly staff receive you. Even though the evening has barely begun, several guests are already there and talking.
