If you love seafood, Gothenburg is the city for you. Gothenburg, or Göteborg in Swedish, is on the West coast of Sweden and restaurants can serve fresh catch from the Kattegat, an arm of the North Sea.
However, Gothenburg is much more than seafood. Browse trusted reviews on the Nova Circle app for a top restaurant experience.

Charming areas in Gothenburg

Gothenburg is a city with a lot of charm, with many areas reminiscent of the old working class environment and fishing industry. Fishing is a tradition that goes back hundreds of years.

Haga is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Gothenburg. Here you can find cozy cafes and cute stores. The well-preserved wooden houses in Haga are built in a typical style called landshövdingehus. Enjoy a relaxed meal before you continue your stroll among the picturesque houses.
Masthugget is a unique area, a hilly old working-class district. Although a few older buildings remain, most of the old seaman's huts have been replaced by a vibrant pub scene. There is still an unpolished charm and "be yourself" spirit over Masthugget, just like over the neighboring districts of Majorna and Haga.

Majorna is also one of the working-class districts that have been modernized over the last decades. Also here you can still see the typical houses of the landshövdingehus style. Majorna is a great place for a walk during the summer and has an array of restaurants, bars and shops.
Linnéstaden is a vibrant and diverse area, known for its tree-lined streets, historic buildings, and a mix of shops, cafes, and restaurants. Linnégatan is a popular street with a lively atmosphere and a variety of dining options.

As a foodie with an interest in art and fashion, I’m constantly on the hunt for the best food and drink spots, art museums and the ultimate shopping destinations. When looking for inspiration, I always trust recommendations from friends above all. With Nova Circle it’s now a breeze to find new places that are in tune with what I like, from those I trust.

Love this app! As a foodie myself, living in NYC with endless options - ”where should we eat/go for drinks today?” is a constant question. l always trust recommendations from friends more than anything and with Nova Circle it’s so easy to find new places that are genuinely good, recommended by all the people I trust.

Famous restaurants in Gothenburg

Gothenburg has many renowned restaurants worth visiting. For being such a small city, Gothenburg has an impressive amount of Michelin star restaurants.

Koka is a renowned restaurant with a menu based on local ingredients. At Koka, plants and seafood dominate the dishes.

SK Mat & Människor (SK Food & People) serves dishes with ingredients from the local area, which are prepared in the middle of the dining room in a completely open kitchen without walls – an experience for all the senses!

Restaurang 28+ has had a Michelin star for more than three decades. The restaurant has a seasonal approach, meaning that the menus are revised every 4 - 6 weeks. Expect dishes with a high level of creativity.
Besides Koka, SK Mat & Människor and Restaurang 28+ the other three restaurants in Gothenburg with a Michelin star are Bhoga, Project and Signum.
