The Edible Country

‘The Edible Country’ is a do-it-yourself gourmet restaurant where you forage and cook your own food in Swedish nature. Please note: All of the Edible Country tables have their own local menu, featuring ingredients that you can forage yourself in the surrounding areas.

‘The Edible Country’ is a dining experience based on ingredients found in nature. Tables across Sweden are open for booking. You can also book add-ons like local guides and chefs, a selection of local produce and mood enhancing table decor. Some may offer transport, such as dog sledding and canoeing. If you’re not inclined for cooking yourself, you also have the possibility of booking a set three-course menu.

A cooking kit, containing all the necessary tools to prepare your meal, is included in your booking. More add-ons are available, such as your very own personal local guide or a chef, as well as a basket of ingredients to cook the recipes outdoors. As with everything in nature, we are unable to guarantee that specific ingredients will be available on the day of your visit. Each reservation lasts for a day*.

* Please note: Neither Visit Sweden nor the region is responsible for any illnesses or injuries caused during this experience. The visitors are themselves responsible to make sure that they use the recommended ingredients when cooking, and to follow any restrictions of Swedish law.

The Edible Country tables are bookable between May and October*.

*may vary depending on where in Sweden the table is located.

‘The Edible Country’ is an initiative from Visit Sweden, working to promote Sweden as a destination and a brand. The menu suggestions of this fine do-it-yourself dining experience are co-created with four of Sweden’s top chefs: Titti Qvarnström, Niklas Ekstedt, Anton Bjuhr and Jacob Holmström. The dishes are created with inspiration from Sweden’s varied landscapes and shifting seasons. Please note: All of the Edible Country tables have their own local menu, featuring ingredients that you can forage yourself in the surrounding areas.

With ‘The Edible Country’ we hope to inspire people to explore our natural pantry and eat healthier and more locally produced food. Healthy food may be perceived as complicated or inaccessible, but in Sweden you can find it just around the corner – in our nature.
