Food & drink at Gyllene Uttern

High-quality food in a classic style, using local ingredients – since the 1930s

Welcome to enjoy yourself with us

In the kitchen, our head chef Lovisa, with her warm touch and keen intuition, creates menus together with her fantastic kitchen team. Focusing on Gränna's pantry, she draws inspiration and ingredients from the local area. Whatever grows, is cultivated, and is produced nearby finds its way onto the plate. The result is a menu that reflects where we are: authentic, flavorful, and vibrant. Our sommelier Alexandra pairs drinks with the same feeling. In our café, Kaffestugan, the experience continues in a more relaxed and homely spirit. Here, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and homemade cakes fills the air, and we bake most of our cakes on site. Our classic shrimp sandwich on homemade sour milk bread, Lule's crispy raspberry pie, and Lotta's delicious biscuits. Kaffestugan is a place to sit down, take a break, and enjoy the simple things in life. Where tradition and homemade craftsmanship take center stage.
At Gyllene, tradition and innovation come together in a warm and welcoming atmosphere with spectacular panoramic views of Lake Vättern.
