Kopparhattan

Top choice in Dalarna


An excellent choice is this funky, arty cafe-restaurant in the Dalarnas Museum complex. Choose from sandwiches, soup or a good buffet including vegetarian-friendly choices for lunc,; and light vegie, fish and meat evening mains. There’s an outside terrace overlooking the river, and live music on Friday nights in summer. Oh, and burgers...really good burgers (from 85kr)... day and night.
