Classic Swedish gastronomy in a unique environment

Villa Godthem, a unique Swiss-style wholesaler villa from the end of the 19th century, is located on idyllic Djurgården, yet close to the pulse of the big city. It is the classic restaurant kitchen that is villa Godthem's soul.

Godthem has a diverse and lovely crowd of guests gathered for business lunches, dates, weekend dinners, cocktails and weddings for over a century. And it is easy to understand that you enjoy it when classic Swedish food crafts are served in one of the country's most beautiful environments, when the historical wings meet the present in a relaxed and inviting way.

history

Villa Godthem is a unique wholesaler villa and former private residence that was completed in 1874. It was built as a gift by devoted admirers to renowned opera singer Carl Johan Uddman. The story tells that the voluminous Uddman, unusually, walked home from the Opera One evening and once he entered the hall he exclaimed "I've GONE home!!!" – hence the name. Since the Stockholm Exhibition in 1897, Villa Godthem has served as a restaurant.
