In Western Sweden, the language of the local cuisine has a particularly powerful resonance, and the inspiration and raw ingredients for this are drawn from nature’s well-stocked pantry of delicacies from the sea, forest, field and lake.

Was launched in 2000 by the Tourist Board of Western Sweden with the aim of further developing the already highly recommended cuisine of the area. It is forging a strong partnership between restaurants and producers of raw ingredients, and it is enriching the gastronomic experience of visitors to the region as well as a detour. As anticipated, this initiative has been a great success from the outset, with restaurants and food producers of the region demonstrating the excellent form they are in.

We can boast 33 accredited restaurants and a large number of committed producers of raw ingredients.

Worth a journey. Worth a detour
Today, in the twenty five restaurants listed in Bohuslän, Dalsland and Västergötland, we can promise you a truly enjoyable culinary occasion and authentic gastronomic experience served with attention to detail and a strong sense of tradition.
