Discovering Ninnis Dumplingsshed

Nestled in the heart of Löttorp on the idyllic island of Öland, Ninnis Dumplingsshed stands as a culinary beacon for lovers of traditional Swedish fare. For over three decades, this family-run establishment has perfected the art of kroppkakor—dense, gray potato dumplings stuffed with diced pork or vegetarian fillings like mushrooms and spinach. Handmade daily using ingredients sourced directly from their own farm, every batch embodies the essence of närproducerat, or locally produced, Swedish cuisine. The restaurant's unpretentious charm draws locals and visitors alike, offering a taste of Öland's rustic heritage in a welcoming setting.

The Art of Kroppkakor

Kroppkakor at Ninnis are more than just food; they are a generational recipe passed down through the Petersson family. Boiled to perfection, these dumplings reveal a savory filling bursting with flavor, best savored with cold cream, tart lingonberries, and a pat of butter as recommended by owner Eva "Ninni" Petersson. Vegetarian options ensure inclusivity, while the classic pork version celebrates Öland's farming traditions. The menu keeps it simple, focusing on quality over quantity, with takeout available for those on the go. This dedication to authenticity has earned Ninnis White Guide accolades for twelve years running.
