Thörnströms Kök

Top choice in Gothenburg


Classic technique, flawless presentation and a creative approach to local, seasonal ingredients helped chef Håkan earn his Michelin star. Hidden away in a quiet side street, his dining den is one of Gothenburg's culinary highlights, where impeccably cooked duck might conspire with Jerusalem artichokes and dried apricots, or where cherries reach new complexity in the company of pine nuts, sage and chocolate.

While à la carte dishes are available, the multicourse menus are the highlight here.
