Lunchguide

The important lunch! Everyone needs a break from work that provides new energy. Then a well-cooked lunch is welcome.

COFFE SHOPS

The Swedish coffee and fika is known world wide. We like our coffee strong, and our fika plentiful. You can go to any café or bakery, and they will have both. A coffee break is sacred, and therefore it's normal to visit a café several times a week.

Come taste with me in my Skellefteå

Eriks asks me if I want cheese in my coffe, and cuts me a big slice of västerbottensost with his knife on a thick cutting board. We sit by the fire outside his house, quite centrally located in the city. It's 8 o clock in the morning on this cool, but gentle August day.

A gastronomic journey from Iceland to Bryggargatan

When we closed Bryggargatan in Piteå to make a change to a new location, we looked at a number of different places. Among others, Stockholm, Oslo, Paris and the Loire Valley. But when we were asked: 'If you could choose any place to build a new restaurant, where would it be?'. The Bryggargatan concept would be taken to the next level at Skellefte älv and Bryggarbacken.

Svedjan Ost – Some of the best cheeses in Sweden

On the slope leading down to the lake, 37 cows are grazing. Some are drinking water on the shore. The grass is green and if you are standing out in the yard, the view of Lake Storkågeträsket is second to none.

Enjoy amazing food

We all need to eat, and food is especially noteworthy when you're on vacation. You don't need to think that much about what you'll eat next when you're at home, you probably have plenty of options in your kitchen. But you don't travel with your kitchen, so what will you eat? Lucky for you, we have plenty of options in our area. 

 

We have lighter food options when you're on the go and just need to eat something right this second. The same restaurants and cafés that offer you food on the go can also offer you a place to sit, eat and enjoy the town and your company. And you should know that during the warmer months of the year we have lots of outside serving areas so you can sit outside while eating. The true meaning of eating out! 

 

Other times you want the food and dinner to be an experience in itself, a memory of not just great flavors but also a lovely moment shared with your loved ones. To create such a memory you first have to decide - what kind of setting do you want for your meal? A scenic view over the Skellefteå river, or a mansion with 300 years worth of history? Or maybe you prefer a rural setting in the middle of the forrest (but still with really tasty food), or an old farm house with food to die for? Because, you guessed it, we have it all.
