Food is nourishment. Food is a happening. Food is culture…

Food is nourishment. Food is a happening. Food is culture. Every corner of the world has its own distinctive cuisine. Mix them up and they come back in new ways, creating new culinary arts. The presence of Västerbottensost cheeses in Skellefteå’s cuisine is as clearly evident as is all self-grown and self-fished but also simplicity and innovativeness.

Obviously, you will find many of northern Sweden’s classic taste sensations in Skellefteå. We know how to prepare salmon and new potatoes, how to make potato dumplings and cloudberry jam, oven-bake thin bread and how best to make the most of elk meat. This is a given part of our cuisine. But we have so much more to offer such as cross-over cuisines that make the experience even greater and more exciting. Enjoy your meals at restaurants that have breathtaking views, inns that have history, onboard floating restaurants or in the sunshine at cosy coffee shops. If you stay long enough, you will have time to enjoy them all.
