This charming restaurant offers a culinary experience that balances traditional Swedish flavors with French-inspired delicacies, perfect for food enthusiasts seeking a memorable dining outing.
Starters to awaken your palate
Begin your meal with Matsalen's exquisite selection of starters, featuring delicate crêpes and authentic galettes crafted from locally milled buckwheat flour from Värmland and pancake flour from Widichs in Gustafs, lending each bite a genuine Scandinavian touch. Alternatively, savor the "Frrtter" — a sophisticated starter blending air-dried pork loin sourced from Gotland’s renowned sausage factory with fired tomato, scallion emulsion, salt-roasted marcomandillas, and crisp iced endive for a harmonious balance of textures and flavors.
Mains that satisfy deeply
For the main course, Matsalen excels with its grilled beef tenderloin, cooked to perfection and accompanied by a vibrant green pepper sauce that adds a peppery depth without overpowering the meat’s natural richness. This dish is elevated by butter-baked celery cabbage, crispy onions for a delightful crunch, and golden fries that complete the comforting yet refined plate.
Desserts to end on a sweet note
Conclude your dining experience with dessert selections that marry elegance and indulgence. Enjoy the luscious layers of white chocolate cake paired with a silky chocolate mousse made from premium Valrhona Manjari chocolate. Accompanied by stewed rhubarb and fresh strawberries, this dessert provides a perfectly balanced sweetness and tartness to satisfy your palate.
