The Spring Menu
From April 2nd
THE FARM
White Asparagus – Lumpfish Roe (or alternative: Seaweed Caviar) – Fermented Lemon – Dill – Vinegar Rye
Wine Pairing Options
Classic: 2023 Siefersheim Riesling Porfyr, Wagner-Stempel, Rheinhessen, Germany
De Luxe: 2022 Riesling Heerkretz GG, Wagner-Stempel, Rheinhessen, Germany
“The asparagus is gently prepared in buttermilk to elevate its elegant sweetness. The lumpfish roe introduces a soft brininess and ties the dish to the sea, while the fermented lemon adds a lively acidic depth. A crisp of vinegar rye provides structure and a light herbal, almost seed-like sharpness. Dill oil rounds off the whole and weaves together the first nuances of spring into a dish that is clean, vibrant and full of anticipation.”
THE FIELD
Stick Bread – Churned Butter – Whipped Honey – Winter Truffle
Wine Pairing Options
Classic: NV Crémant du Jura Brut Nature, Domaine Overnoy-Crinquand, Jura, Frankrike
De Luxe: NV Louis Roederer Carte Blanche, Champagne, France
“Our sourdough, Klas, nurtured for over a hundred years, forms the foundation of our stick bread. It is grilled until the surface takes on a warm golden pattern, then brushed with fermented garlic cream that lends both depth and umami. Alongside it, churned butter, gently whipped for maximum softness, together with honey lifted by the aromas of winter truffle. A dish to be eaten with your hands, warm, generous and full of the soul of craftsmanship.”
THE BARN
Lamb Roast – Grilled Celeriac – Wild Garlic – Rapeseed Shoots – Rapeseed
Wine Pairing Options
Classic: 2021 Dogliani Briccolero, Chionetti, Piedmont, Italy
De Luxe: 2020 Barolo Marcenasco, Renato Ratti, Piedmont, Italy
“The lamb roast is gently prepared to preserve its natural succulence and clean, spring-fresh flavour. The grilled celeriac gives the dish its earthy depth and a subtle caramelised sweetness. The wild garlic brings a green, newly awakened sting that belongs to this very season. On the plate, the dish is complemented by tender rapeseed shoots and toasted rapeseed, adding crunch, warmth and a distinct Scanian identity. A dish of balance, energy and a clear sense of belonging to the landscape’s early spring.”
HEAVEN
Rhubarb in Presentation – White Chocolate – Sweet Vernal Grass
Wine Pairing Options
Classic: 2024 Moscato D’Asti, Ceretto, Piedmont, Italy
De Luxe: 2020 Beerenauslese, Angerhof Tschida, Burgenland, Austria
“We conclude with rhubarb, one of the most eagerly awaited signs of spring. By working with it in multiple expressions, we capture its full spectrum, from tart and bright to soft and rounded. The white chocolate creates a creamy, warm counterpoint that carries the acidity, while sweet vernal grass adds a delicate vanilla-like aroma and a sense of the greenery that awaits. A finale that is light, clean and filled with the promise of spring.”

THE DAIRY – SPRING
Three hand-picked cheeses from Nordic artisan dairies are served with seasonal marmalade and our own home-baked seed crackers. We recommend the cheeses after the main course, but they can just as well be enjoyed in one of the cosy wicker chairs in the lounge by the crackling fire after dinner!
“Pigan”
At Soldattorpets Mejeri in Hyby, cheeses are crafted in a natural and artisanal way, from milk sourced at a nearby farm with well-kept cows raised on the rich Scanian soil. The cows roam freely outdoors all year round. Pigan is a creamy and round white mould cheese with a rich, buttery flavour and gentle mushroom notes. The cheese is made from pasteurised cow’s milk.
“Gammel Knas”
Gammel Knas is produced at Vium Mejeri and takes its name from the characteristic combination of crunchy protein crystals and a long ageing period of at least 24 months. It is a hard cheese with a sweet tone of fruit and buttermilk, balanced by tangy and slightly bitter notes alongside rich umami. The aroma is floral with subtle farmyard notes.
“Blå Kornblomst”
Blå Kornblomst is a soft, creamy and mild blue mould cheese. It is made in 400-litre open cheese vats where the milk is stirred by hand, an essential part of the process to give the cheese its proper flavour and texture. The cheese is produced at Gedsteds Mejeri in northern Jutland from organic, pasteurised cow’s milk and aged for at least four weeks.
The Dairy 155 SEK

The Less Ordinary Summer Dinner Menu
From 2nd June
THE SEA
Mackerel from Borstahusen – Fermented jalapeño – Lime – Cucumber
Wine Pairing Options
Classic:
De Luxe:
“We open with the sea in its most vibrant summer expression. The mackerel from Borstahusen is served lightly tempered to preserve its natural richness and silken texture. Alongside the fish, a fermented jalapeño brings a gentle depth of warmth and acidity, rather than heat. Lime lifts the dish with its fresh citrus and creates balance against the mackerel’s richness. The cucumber adds crispness and a cool herbaceousness that anchors the dish in the season. A clear, energetic dish, distinctly marked by the first sea breeze of summer.”
THE FIELD
Stick bread – Fresh cheese – Rainbow trout roe – Dill
Wine Pairing Options
Classic:
De Luxe:
“Over the open fire, craftsmanship meets summer. Our stick bread, baked on our sourdough Klas, is grilled until it gains a warm golden surface and a light smokiness. The bread is served with fresh cheese whipped to a soft, creamy consistency, its acidity providing a lightness that suits the season. The rainbow trout roe adds an elegant depth of salt and small crisp textures, while the aroma of dill ties the dish together and evokes Swedish summer evenings. A dish to share, to eat with your hands and experience directly — simple, alive and obvious.”
THE FARM
Beef – Gastrique – Broccoli – Roscoff onion – Seasonal vegetables from Bondekocken
Wine Pairing Options
Classic:
De Luxe:
“The summer’s main course moves between the fire and what has just been harvested. The beef is prepared with precision to retain its juiciness and depth of flavour, meeting a gastrique that balances sweetness and acidity in a concentrated expression. The broccoli brings both green freshness and lightly roasted notes, while the Roscoff onion lends a mild, caramelised sweetness with elegance. The dish is completed with seasonal vegetables from Bondekocken — carefully chosen according to what the earth offers right now — creating variation, colour and life. A dish that is generous yet precise, where summer is allowed to speak through every component.”
HEAVEN
Strawberries in presentation (grilled, marinated, aged) – Warm sponge cake – Lemon thyme ice cream
Wine Pairing Options
Classic:
De Luxe:
“We close with the strawberry in its most expressive state. By working with the berries in several variations — grilled for depth, marinated for freshness and lightly aged for concentration — we explore its full summer spectrum. The buttered sponge cake brings a soft, comfortingly round sweetness that meets the berries, while the lemon thyme ice cream adds a cool, herbaceous acidity that lifts the whole. A dessert that is both playful and balanced — a finale that captures the essence of the Swedish summer.”
