Upper House Dining

Elevated Culinary Heights

Upper House Dining occupies the pinnacle of Gothia Towers' middle tower at 25 stories high, where expansive panoramic windows frame Gothenburg's skyline. This fine dining venue emphasizes classical service and seasonal ingredients sourced primarily from Sweden's west coast. Diners experience a procession of focused dishes that balance intense flavors and varied textures, avoiding overwhelming complexity on each plate.

Seasonal Swedish Mastery

The kitchen crafts a single tasting menu highlighting contemporary interpretations of Swedish traditions, featuring elements like whitefish roe, lamb, cod, and blueberries. Led by Head Chef Måns Backlund, the team draws from local growers and plans rooftop beehives and gardens to enhance hyper-local sourcing. Every course arrives with precision, complemented by expertly paired wines, teas, or juices selected by the all-sommelier staff.

Panoramic Vistas and Ambiance

From this lofty perch, daylight reveals the city's harbors and rooftops, transforming into a glittering seascape at dusk. The interior remains subdued and elegant, with comfortable seating that directs attention to the cuisine and scenery. An adjacent outdoor terrace extends the experience, weather permitting, offering fresh air amid the urban expanse below.

Legacy of Excellence

Opened in 2013 within the exclusive Upper House hotel-within-a-hotel, the restaurant reflects Executive Chef Krister Dahl's vision. Dahl holds a unique record with four gold medals from the Culinary Olympics. The venue pays homage to fine dining traditions while innovating with west coast bounty, creating memorable multi-course journeys that unfold over hours.

Bar and Lounge Allure

Even as the dining room pauses operations, the Upper House Bar sustains the allure with champagne, cocktails, and canapés in a relaxed setting. This sky-high lounge invites lingering gazes over Gothenburg, blending sophistication with approachability. It's an ideal prelude or standalone visit, high above the convention district's bustle.

Gothenburg Skyline Signature

Integrated into the Gothia Towers complex near Svenska Mässan, Upper House Dining stands as a beacon of elevated gastronomy. Its position captures the essence of Gothenburg's maritime spirit, blending Nordic restraint with flavorful precision. The combination of altitude, vista, and culinary craft defines a singular dining narrative.
