Gastronomy in Sweden

Swedish chefs have been winning international prizes, while Sweden’s Michelin-starred restaurants are getting excellent press, all over the world.

Of course, Sweden’s new-found reputation as a “foodie” country wouldn’t be possible without the influence of international cuisine or Swedish chefs’ take on imported as well as local produce. In addition, in Sweden you are as likely to have an Iranian kebab, or sushi for lunch or dinner, as you are to have Swedish mainstays such as meatballs or filled cabbage rolls – a reflection of the internationalization of Swedish cuisine.

Fabulous traditional Swedish ingredients, such as Kalix bleak roe, various local cheeses and lobster are not to be missed.
