The Best Restaurants in Västeras
Chef Adam Wedholm trained at Frantzén’s kitchens in Hong Kong and Shanghai before returning home. Now, he cooks Nordic-Asian fusion with his childhood friend Oliver Ljungqvist. Tasting menu or à la carte.
In a 1904 officers’ building, this bar claims Sweden’s broadest country-spanning list: 350 wines from 44 countries, many by the glass. Food is created to match: Brooklyn-style pizza, bistro classics, and charcuterie.
Swedish classics meet French bistro cooking at this former hat shop, open since 2011. Toast Skagen, Wallenbergare, and meatballs share the menu with Moules Frites and a weekly slow-cooked special.
Moored in Västerås harbor on Lake Mälaren, this elegant barge restaurant is truly unique. The focus is on one- or two-course lunches, with occasional seven-course tasting menus offered in the evening.
“Frank Rules” is a four-course menu for which guests choose only the main direction (fish, meat, or vegetarian). The blind format leaves the rest to the kitchen, guided by seasonality and creativity.
Set in the former customs house by the harbor since 2012, this brasserie looks out over Lake Mälaren. Fish, shellfish and Swedish “husman” are served throughout the year, while the ice cream bar opens in summer.
Brick vaults from a former wine cellar shape this underground dining room. The meat-driven menu features tartare, butcher’s steak and house-made sausages, with cocktails and a summer river terrace.
Brothers Jiri and Tommy Ondracek run this panoramic restaurant overlooking Västerås and Lake Mälaren. Swedish classics are reworked in the kitchen, with zander from Lake Hjälmaren as a signature ingredient.
Fusion-style sushi adapted for European tastes, with bold presentations and high-quality fish. The kitchen balances traditional techniques with creative combinations across nigiri, ramen, and tonkatsu.
