Smålandsgården

Stayed one night with two friends on our way down to Gothenburg. Host was very friendly, the food was splendid and we lived in the seaside attic room. The rooms were a bit hot (no way to get a draft there) but everything was new and shiny. Really liked it 👍🏻

Having traveled all over the world and seen all there is of a truly original experience from NYC to Tokyo, i can tell you that leaving this place left me feeling more in touch with Mother Earth and what is important in life. 

I was invited to join a small gathering to try out their recently revived menu, and giving my thoughts. 

I will only shortly touch on the food, as it is in my view secondary to the over all experience. In their effort to build a menu around sustainability and health, their team presented a 8 section service. Each course as delicious and beautiful as the next. It had a very natural flow from course to course. 
All the ingredients was from no more then a few kilometers away, every single detail ingeniously considered to minimize our carbon footprint and off course to delight in our senses.

Sitting there in the middle of nature, and letting all the senses be exposed was more then just a culinary experience. I think everyone should at least give this a try as it shows a whole new way of engaging with the food industry. And that it is possible to be kind to earth and still eat great food! 

I will soon revisit this tiny gem, to find my peaceful spot.

There is great water pressure and great hot water.  This is necessary because its rather cool and windy outside and the lake is cold!  There is no air conditioning but we didn't need it because it was so refreshingly cool outside.  Granna with the tourist shops is about 10 k away, but at Smalandsgarden its quiet at night and secluded.  The town is very small.  The breakfast has everything you'd want in a bountiful European breakfast.  The cafe serves free coffee and tea throughout the day, to guests of the hotel.

Food for the soul

Small, beautiful setting, great breakfast

Nice spot close to Gränna

The young man who was front of house was excellent. The rooms are small, no kettle, mini bar or fridge. It’s very basic, beds too soft for us. Seem to struggle with gluten free options. By Swedish standards reasonably priced. The bathroom  is outdated and tired.
Breakfast was ok but only bog standard concentrated orange juice asked for gluten free bread which had to be perked up from the freezer.

Disappointing.

This hotel and restaurant would get much higher score if it wasn’t for the awkward service in the restaurant. We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights and we had dinner both nights. 

A first sign of strange attitude was that it became obvious that it ”should seem difficult” to get a table when we had no reservation, and this despite that for the second night, less than half of the tables were occupied. We arrived at 20:00 and the kitchen should close at 21:00. We were the second last to arrive that night so there were at least 10-15 free tables, not reserved by anyone.

Food and drinks were served within a reasonable time, food was tasty and well prepared BUT after this we had no luck no more, the personnel seemed to decide that they had done their part already, not showing up no more.

At the end we were only 2 or 3 tables and there were at least 3 in the personnel walking around doing there stuff, but not once did they pay any attention to us. 

After 20 minutes we had enough and decided to walk up to the bar and pay the check, without having had the chance to order any dessert or coffee that normally would have been our choice if we would have had the privilege of getting just a little bit of attention from someone.

A perfect introduction for a book called  ”How to Waste your Business, Destroying Customer’s Perception by Ignoring Them!”

A pity!
