Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Goteborg (Gothenburg) right now.
Göteborg is filled with people who love to eat and cook, so you've come to the right place if you're interested in food. The fish and seafood here are some of the best in the world, owing to the clean, cold waters off Sweden's west coast. And Göteborg's chefs are some of the best in Sweden, as a glance at the list of recent "Swedish Chef of the Year" winners will confirm. Call ahead to be sure restaurants are open, as many are closed in July or in other summer months.
Step down from the street into this former wine-and-cheese cellar to find an elegant restaurant owned by two of the best chefs in Göteborg. Finely set tables, flickering candles, and country-style artwork evoke the mood of a rustic French bistro. Italian and Asian flavors blend their way into the impeccable Swedish dishes; choose a five- or seven-course meal, or take your pick a la carte. Note that one of the best wine cellars in Sweden is at your disposal.
Familjen's trendy warm red and green minimalist interior, along with friendly staff who manage its often-packed house with grace, both help make it one of the best restaurants in town for sampling rustic west coast–style cooking. Menus are dictated by the availability of fresh seasonal ingredients and change regularly. Try one of the three-course menus for a complete meal with well-matched flavors.
An iconic restaurant since 1934, "The Comet" is a feel-good haven for celebrities and locals alike, who come to dine on simple yet delicious seafood fare and classic Swedish dishes. Original paintings and chandeliers along with dark mahogany and red upholstery give it a 1940s saloon feel.
