Restaurants in Gothenburg
Like much of Sweden, fresh organic fare is a top priority for Gothenburg’s restauranteurs although there are plenty of less high-minded eateries should you be so inclined. Don’t forget to sample the shellfish – the local langoustines are among the best in the world.
The Gothenburg restaurants below have been grouped into three pricing categories:
Expensive (over kr900)
Moderate (kr400 to kr900)
Cheap (up to kr400)
These Gothenburg restaurant prices are based on the cost of a three-course meal for one person, including a half bottle of house wine or equivalent (where available). Please note that many restaurants are closed on Sundays, so check before visiting.
Bhoga
Price:
Expensive
Cuisine:
Swedish
A newish addition to Gothenburg’s restaurant scene, Bhoga is already winning plaudits for its Scandinavian fusion fare. Local specialities such as whitefish roe and baked coley are updated with Heston-style flourishes – flavoured foam appears to be a favourite. There’s also a cosy little bar attached where you can relax with a post-prandial digestif.

Sjömagasinet

Expensive

Seafood
Located by the Älvsborg Bridge with a gorgeous view of Gothenburg's harbour, Sjömagasinet is a classy spot specialising in fish and seafood.
