Borgholms Kök & Bar

History and Atmosphere

Borgholms Kök & Bar began as a modest street kitchen in 1995 on Storgatan, specializing in burgers and spiced sausages. It relocated to Östra Kyrkogatan in 2000 and expanded in 2016 with a new bar and larger kitchen. Today, it operates year-round, blending Swedish husmanskost with international influences in a fresh, casual environment. The spacious interior accommodates families and groups, while the summer terrace overlooks Borgholm's lively square. Expect a relaxed vibe, especially during sports screenings on multiple TVs.
