Surströmming Premiere – Make Up Your Own Mind

August 20, 2026

Surströmming Premiere

Surströmming is Sweden’s most debated delicacy, and one of very few dishes you have to make your mind up about in advance. On 20 August we open the tin — outdoors, as it should be.

The service is the classic one: thin flatbread, almond potatoes, finely chopped red onion, sour cream and chives. You build your own parcel, take a bite, and form an opinion. Many are surprised. Some fall in love. Nobody leaves without a view on the matter.

If you would rather spectate, there is a full alternative menu indoors. No judgement, everyone welcome — and the evening is at its best when both camps are seated at the same table. Book a table and bring someone who needs a story to tell.
