Restaurant Eld
Welcome to Restaurant Eld at The Viking Museum.
Welcome to a unique dining experience where comfort food meets culinary refinement. We take our guests on a journey through the Nordic pantry, where traditional dishes and flavors from the North are reimagined using fine dining techniques and presentation.
With modern cooking methods and the finest ingredients, we offer a new interpretation of comfort food – one that both warms the soul and delights the senses.
Our menu changes constantly, with a focus on sustainability and seasonal ingredients.
There is of course also homemade buns and pastries.

Mead tasting with a guide
We offer mead tastings! It will be a taste journey through the history of the mythical mead that you and your company will never forget. If you have a burning interest in mead, beer or history, this deep dive into the Vikings’ favorite drink is for you.
The mead tasting will be led by one of the museum’s knowledgeable guides who will talk about the myths surrounding the Norse gods and their connection to mead, as well as the importance of the drink to the people of the Viking Age. The tasting consists of one type of mölska and six types of mead, ranging from the driest to the sweetest. The drink is accompanied by a charcuterie board, made entirely from Swedish ingredients.
Do-it-yourself mead tasting
If you would rather try mead on your own, you can add a mead tasting tray when you buy your entrance ticket to The Viking Museum. You can choose three kinds of mead and one braggot. An information sheet is included.
This offer is available every day and can be added as an option when purchasing your ticket online or directly at the restaurant.
We also offer drink tastings with other themes. For more information and booking for private gatherings, please contact us.
