Description: At Gotthard’s, you can eat and drink with a conscience. In addition to our vegetable garden at Älvåkern, which we run together with Brandt’s Handelsträdgård, we also have a two-star KRAV certificate. Along with Martin & Servera, we also run the project #svinngott, where fruits and vegetables that would otherwise be discarded are saved and refined by us. For those seeking a food and beverage experience that challenges the senses and lets you explore new tastes, we recommend Gotthard’s Dining Room, our exclusive Chambre séparée. There you are offered a fixed, five-course menu that is varied according to season and the world around us. The bar serves a rich selection of drinks, and our wine cellar is filled with rarities waiting to be discovered.

This fine dining restaurant is located at Stora Hotellet. The interior is quite dark and also the plates were dark. So it was difficult to see what you were eating.

You have to choose a 4- or 6-course menu (60€ or 80€) where you can make some choices. We chose also a wine package (40€ or 60€) where a new wine (8-12 cl) came with each course.

The food was too strange for our taste. The dessert was the worst I have had for a long time. Also, the wines were not very good.

Our waitress was very friendly.

This is a very special place - for the food, the atmosphere and the people who like to eat there. I found the food tasty (I tried a vegetarian set) though the portions are quite small. They also have an excellent bar.

My wife and I were recommended this restaurant by staff at our rather upmarket hotel in Umeå and we were not the least disappointed. I had a delicious smoked char, but what impressed us above everything else was my wife's dish - fish and chips Swedish style, thus based on perch ("abborre" in Swedish) instead of cod or haddock as typically used in the British home of this dish. Simply brilliant (and why have we never found this genial local adoption anywhere else in Sweden)? Good, prompt and friendly service as well.

The waiter forget to serve. The bread was too hard to eat.

Gotthards Krog is a cozy restaurant located in downtown Umeå. The indoor square is pleasant and feels like an outdoor patio diner, yet the tall glass ceiling shields customers from the unpredictable weather. The waiters and waitresses are nice and friendly and the ambiance of the place perfectly reflects the quality and craftsmanship of the food. The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned and very well balanced with the rest of the flavors on the plate. Dessert may have been a little small, but the size ended up being perfectly proportionate to the rest of the meal and the presentation was beautiful. It did however, take approximately 30 minutes for our meals to arrive (we were five people) and the dishes were a bit pricey, but the experience was very memorable. In fact, I still remember the experience one year after having gone. I ate at quite a few restaurants in Sweden, but Gotthards Krog stands out as the most unforgettable culinary experience I have ever had.
