Taste Bjärke

Sollebrunns Gästgiveri

Located right at the entrance to Sollebrunn when arriving from Gräfsnäs (road 190), this traditional inn is housed in a beautiful old wooden building on the left-hand side of the road.
Here you’ll find Swedish meat, locally sourced ingredients, and freshly baked organic bread – all served with a warm welcome in a historic setting. A perfect place for a satisfying meal in a peaceful atmosphere.

Kaffekoppen in Sollebrunn

Right in the heart of Sollebrunn, close to the bus station and the roads to Trollhättan and Alingsås, lies Kafé Kaffekoppen.
This cozy and friendly café is all about homemade food, thoughtful baking, and warm customer care – with a touch of personal style in the decor. A great stop for lunch, fika, or a coffee break on the go.

Brobacka Kaffestuga

About 8 km outside Alingsås, you’ll find Brobacka Kaffestuga, a unique and peaceful café surrounded by untouched nature.
Here you can enjoy coffee and waffles in a truly scenic setting, with forest trails and hiking paths right nearby. It’s a place where nature speaks for itself – the perfect blend of taste and tranquility.

Gräfsnäs Castle Café

Ideal for a summer day out, Gräfsnäs Slottscafé is a lovely spot for coffee and ice cream, especially when the sun is shining.
During weekends when the Anten–Gräfsnäs heritage railway is operating, they also serve a lunch buffet, and on Sundays, don’t miss the grill buffet.
