Hisings Backa, located on the island of Hisingen, serves as a quiet suburban district within Gothenburg's Norra Hisingen area. Formed in 2011 through the merger of Backa, Kärra-Rödbo, and Tuve-Säve, it offers a peaceful alternative to the bustling city center. For frequent-flyer hotel travelers, this area provides a serene base away from urban noise while maintaining access to Gothenburg's broader amenities. The district reflects the organized structure of modern Gothenburg, which reduced its 20 districts into 10 larger administrative zones for efficiency. Visitors staying here can enjoy a residential atmosphere with easy connectivity to the rest of the city. It is ideal for those prioritizing tranquility and local charm over immediate proximity to major tourist hubs.

There is an elegant quality to this smart, modern bistro de luxe with rich décor and crushed velvet banquettes. The seasonal menu mixes contemporary techniques with a more traditional base and all dishes come with suggested wine pairings. Choose between six, eight or eleven courses during the week, with only the longer two options available on Fridays and Saturdays. This is a deservedly busy spot where the attentive, personable service adds to the experience. Be sure to look out for the dishes from the Josper oven.
WebsiteThe imposing 1920s city post office is now a hotel, and this glamorous restaurant sits within what was the central hall – the listed cashier booths still on display. A Nordic-Japanese approach sees fine Scandinavian produce meet Asian techniques, and there’s an impressive range of sake by the glass.
WebsiteFollowing a 20-month closure for essential city groundworks, Bhoga is back. Set steps away from one of the most picture-perfect canals in the city, it’s a popular spot, and the team will make you feel truly welcome. For dinner, choose the length of your menu – five, seven or nine courses – and the rest is up to the talented chefs; that could include a lamb chop and cabbage-wrapped lamb meatball, with a classic stock poured at the table. On Thursdays and Fridays they also serve lunch: choose one of three main dishes – meat, fish or vegetarian – and they’ll fill the tables with sides to match.

WebsiteEnter through the huge wooden doors of this old military stable and you’ll find yourself in a large and stunningly converted room with a truly buzzing atmosphere. A huge horse’s head – a copy of Leonardo's Cavallo di Forcione and a reminder of the building’s former life – takes centre stage in the bar, which is a popular spot for a cocktail and some nibbles. When it comes to the food, it’s all about Italy, with the fresh, flavoursome dishes prepared on-view in the open kitchen. From homemade pizzas and pastas to traditional meat dishes, there’s something for everyone here.
