🎓 About the evening

Having my thesis defense on Student Day felt like perfect timing. After all the questions, discussions and defending, I'm hoping we can continue to celebrate together — with good food, laughter, and an unforgettable evening.

📍 Restaurang Merwah, Platensgatan 1, 582 20 Linköping

Lebanese buffet & desserts

An authentic Lebanese buffet with a wide variety of dishes — salads, dips & spreads, stews, fish, meat and chicken. For dessert: tiramisu, vanilla pudding and cookie pie. Coffee, tea and Lincon juice are served. Additional alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are available at the bar at your own cost.

Location

Restaurang Merwah · Platensgatan 1, Linköping

How to get there

Restaurang Merwah is central — easy to reach on foot, by bike, bus or taxi.

Sallam's pick

🚶 Walk or bike

Platensgatan 1 is right in central Linköping, a short walk from Resecentrum and most downtown spots. Easiest, greenest, and means no worries about the way home.

🚌 Bus & train

Linköping Resecentrum is ~5 min walk away. Several Östgötatrafik city buses stop nearby. Check timetables for your return — last departures can be earlier than you'd think.

Last buses can leave before the evening wraps — plan your route home.

🚕 Taxi

Plenty of taxis around the central station. Easy door-to-door option after a long evening.

👔 Dress code

Formal / Cocktail. Bring out your best evening look for a proper celebration.

🎁 Gifts

Your presence and sharing this evening together is more than enough — truly the greatest gift I could ask for. Ahlan wa Sahlan — welcome!

Your toastmasters: Gustav & Emre
