Set beneath an ornate 19th-century glass ceiling fringed by a burgundy canopy, this elegant, airy restaurant comes with modern, light wood panelled walls and bespoke matching furnishings. The refined, well-balanced tasting menus showcase the best of the season, with the spring and summer menus formed largely around plant-led dishes. Classical combinations are subtly modernised by clever twists and well-judged sauces, such as the piquant langoustine bisque with Brussels sprouts and marigold or the slightly tart, fruity venison jus flavoured with blackcurrant to accompany the fallow deer and bee

There aren’t many restaurants that can claim to have made it past their 40th birthday, but then 28+ isn’t just any restaurant.

A brick house on the edge of town plays host to this discreet restaurant, where you are welcomed through a black curtain into a sleek, minimalist space where six chairs sit at an oak counter.

An old manor house on the shores of Landvettersjön Lake provides a beautiful setting for this hotel restaurant, which sits in a boathouse-style annexe. The rustic room is characterised by Scandinavian furnishings, sheepskins and modern art, and floor-to-ceiling windows afford wonderful views over the water. The menu is an excellent showcase of Scandinavian ingredients, with produce coming from the kitchen garden, foraged from the surrounding area and plucked from local waters. Bold flavours and original combinations feature in dishes such as squid, mangalitsa and leek or spruce and Schrenkii c

This lively, friendly eatery is divided into three parts: a bar with bench seating and an open kitchen; a bright red room with a characterful cellar and a glass wine cave; and a superb wrap-around terrace. The good value cooking is rich and hearty, with a touch of originality here and there. A relaxed atmosphere and an appealing wine, beer and cocktail list add to the experience.
