Unique Solo Dining Experience at a Swedish Meadow Restaurant

Unique Dining Experience in Värmland, Sweden

The spread of COVID-19 has changed the way we live and dine. Industries that rely on gatherings have faced significant challenges, forcing restaurants and cafés to adapt quickly. One innovative idea has recently emerged in Värmland, Sweden—a dining experience allowing guests to enjoy a three-course meal alone in a picturesque meadow.

The Inspiration Behind the Idea

This unique dining concept was inspired by Rasmus Persson and Linda Karlsson, who set up a table outdoors for Linda’s mother to ensure they could enjoy her company while keeping her safe. Opening on 10 May, this restaurant features a single dining table and chair. Guests will enjoy their meals without any direct contact with others, including the wait staff.

A Unique Dining Mechanism

Food is delivered creatively in a picnic basket tied to a rope, which is cranked down from the kitchen window using an old bicycle wheel. This innovative approach not only ensures safety but also adds a fun element to the dining experience.

Encouraging Mindfulness and Reflection

In this age of constant distraction, it can be easy to lose oneself in technology instead of embracing solitude. The founders aim to encourage diners to use this time to reflect and connect with their inner thoughts rather than scrolling through their devices. By transforming mealtime into a mindful moment, they hope to foster a deeper appreciation for personal time.

Delightful Menu Offerings

The menu features dishes such as:

  • Swedish-style hash brown with seaweed caviar and wood-plucked sorrel
  • Carrot-ginger puree with browned hazelnut butter
  • Sweetcorn croquettes with blueberries, iced buttermilk, and viola sugar

This creative cuisine draws inspiration from Rasmus’ travels, particularly with the croquettes that pay homage to Barcelona.

Supporting a Good Cause

Guests are invited to pay a voluntary price for their three-course meal, with all proceeds directed towards Rasmus’s “fund for creative moms,” known as Ulla-Britt Henrikssons kulturstipendie.
