Food & Drink in Halland
Fishing harbours on one side, some of Sweden's best farmland on the other — Halland eats extremely well, and mostly from within sight of the table.
Buy langoustines on the quay in Glommen or Träslövsläge, hot-smoked salmon from a village smokehouse, and new potatoes from a self-service farm stall. That's the Halland food experience at its most basic — and its best.
Above that base sits a serious restaurant layer, a vineyard with a two-Michelin-star tasting restaurant at Ästad, and a fika culture that takes its cinnamon buns seriously.
