Legacy of Swedish Gastronomy

Thörnströms Privata Rum embodies decades of culinary passion from the Thörnström family, who bring half a century of experience to Gothenburg's dining scene. Originally evolving from their acclaimed Thörnströms Kök, which earned a Michelin star after 14 years, this private room continues the tradition of elevating local ingredients into refined dishes. The focus remains on classic Swedish techniques reimagined with contemporary flair, ensuring every meal tells a story of regional bounty and meticulous craftsmanship.

Versatile Experiences Beyond Dining

Thörnströms extends its expertise through catering, take-away gourmet kits for home finishing, and pop-up dinners with thematic explorations of food and drink.
