Indulge all your senses in Haga — one of Gothenburg's most iconic neighborhoods and a hidden gem for food lovers. This charming district, with its cobblestone streets and 19th-century wooden houses, offers more than just picturesque views; it's a delicious slice of Swedish history. Once a gritty, working-class area, Haga has blossomed into a vibrant hub of cozy cafés, artisan bakeries, and gourmet shops that reflect Gothenburg's evolving food culture.
No foodie trip to Haga is complete without a stop at the legendary Café Husaren. This is the home of the Hagabullen — a cinnamon bun so massive and delicious, it has earned cult status across Europe. Baked fresh on site since the 1980s, this sticky, spiced masterpiece is a must-try. Order one with a strong Swedish coffee and savor it like a local — slowly and with joy.
All of Gothenburg's foodie landmarks pale in comparison to the Fish Market. Affectionately dubbed the Feskekôrka (the Fish Church), this beautiful structure was built in 1874 and modelled after a Gothic cathedral. Nowadays, it's an indoor fish market and a restaurant and café sanctuary for seafood enthusiasts. Step inside to find the freshest catch from Sweden's west coastal waters — smoked salmon, pickled herring, shrimp, oysters, and more — all prepared with Scandinavian flair. Taste fresh local delicacies before returning to the ship.
