Overview

Matsalen Kök & Bar serves as Sälen's vibrant meeting point at Fjällvägen 40, blending Nordic traditions with Asian fusion flavors. Daytime brings casual lunches of fresh Asian-inspired rätter, while evenings shift to shareable small plates, wines, and cocktails in a lounge bar atmosphere. Sustainability drives the menu, highlighting local and seasonal produce.[1][4]

Lunch Offerings

Open Tuesday to Saturday from 11:30 to 14:30, lunch focuses on straightforward Asian dishes with clean tastes—no fuss, just satisfying meals like wok-fried specialties and rice bowls made from quality ingredients. It's designed for skiers and locals seeking a quick, flavorful refuel amid the mountains.[6]

Dinner Experience

From 17:00, the menu evolves into shareable delights inspired by Asian kitchens: balanced flavors of heat, acid, salt, and freshness in small plates meant for communal enjoyment. Signature items include grilled oxfilé with green pepper sauce, butter-baked celeriac, crepes on buckwheat flour, and desserts like Valrhona chocolate mousse. Special events like New Year's suppers elevate the experience.[2][4][5]
