What\u2019s Gaby Cooking is almost 6 years old you guys! 6 YEARS! Can you believe it! We\u2019ve worked our way through hundreds of recipes, covered some serious ground when it comes to food travel and have been afforded some epic opportunities to work with awesome companies.<\/h2>\n

Case and point\u2026 a few months back I got an email from Volvo<\/a> asking me if I wanted to go on the most epic road trip through Sweden to experience their overseas delivery program. I thought about it for .2 seconds and responded IMMEDIATELY and said, DUH! When do I leave! (more to come on their overseas delivery program because trust me – you’ll want to know!!)<\/p>\n

If you follow along on instagram, you\u2019ll know that earlier this summer (June to be exact) my sister and I spent 2 weeks driving<\/a> around parts of Sweden exploring the food scene like it was our jobs! Because, it was! We covered some serious ground and I can\u2019t wait to share it all with you\u2026 but let\u2019s start at the beginning – and for us, that was Gothenburg! Gaby\u2019s Guide to Gothenburg\u2026 ready set go!<\/p>\n

Saluhallen<\/a> – just a hop, skip and a jump away from our hotel was the Saluhallen. It\u2019s a giant food hall with all sorts of delicious eats from smoothie bars, chocolate makers, deli counters, cheese stores\u2026 the list goes on. Basically it\u2019s any foodies dream come true – and some days there are farmers markets right outside. I made my sister go back every day because I just couldn\u2019t get enough. Why are there no food halls in Los Angeles?? I\u2019m about this close to moving to Gothenburg!<\/p>\n

\"Gaby's<\/p>\n

Food Tour – On our first day in Gothenburg we were treated to a food tour of the city. It\u2019s my new favorite way to see a city because you really get your bearings and learn from locals! We strolled the streets and tasted our way through some of the highlights of Gothenburg – including a shrimp tasting which I\u2019ll admit, scared me at first, but they have the best shrimp I\u2019ve ever tried!!<\/p>\n

Kale\u2019i Kaffebar<\/a> – you can\u2019t go to Sweden and not practice the art of Fika! It\u2019s basically my new favorite tradition and it allows you to take a little mid-day break and go grab a coffee and a pastry with friends, co-workers, family or yourself. We met the most interesting people on each of our Fika breaks and I\u2019m doing my best to re-create this here in the states. If you\u2019re up for it – coffee houses at 2pm – BE THERE!<\/p>\n

Feskek\u00f6rka<\/a> – I\u2019m all about a market – and a market dedicated to fresh fish is exactly what I want for lunch. There are a few counters here where you can grab some bites for lunch and then sit out on the patio and chill. Not to mention the building is an architectural gem.<\/p>\n

\"Gaby's<\/p>\n

Barbicu<\/a> – while it might not be traditional nordic cuisine, the tacos and nachos coming out of Barbicu are are top notch!! It\u2019s the perfect happy hour stop for a little nibble and a cocktail before dinner.<\/p>\n

\"Gaby's<\/p>\n

Cafe Husaren<\/a> – Swedish Cinnamon Rolls are at the tip-top of my favorite foods ever! We\u2019ve recreated them for the blog – find the recipe here – but there\u2019s really nothing like sitting in a cafe and sipping on a coffee and chowing down on the perfect pastry!!<\/p>\n

\"Gaby's<\/p>\n

Cum Pane Ekologisk<\/a> – I went out of my way to cover the entire city in search of all the cinnamon rolls – and if you\u2019re up for a day filled with sweets, this is a mandatory stop!<\/p>\n

\"Gaby's \"Gaby's<\/p>\n

Restaurant Gabriel<\/a> – A few steps up from the Feskek\u00f6rka is Restaurant Gabriel and they are turning out the best oysters and fish dishes in the city. PLUS – they brew their own beer with a hint of oyster in it – sounds weird (I know) but believe it or not – it was relish!<\/p>\n

Da Matteo AB<\/a> – Fika, all day every day! If I lived in Gothenburg, there\u2019s no question that Da Matteo would be my satellite office. Cute coffee tables lined the cobblestone patio and the coffee was perfection. If you opt to sit inside, try and grab a table in the back so you can watch them roast the beans right in front of your eyes!<\/p>\n

\"Gaby's<\/p>\n

Familjen<\/a> – a traditional swedish restaurant that is equal parts dark and mysterious and delicious. Hands down the best service of our trip and the white asparagus dish, something that only appears on the menu rarely, was life changing.<\/p>\n

Champagnebaren Forssen & Oberg<\/a> – champagne and oyster bar. What more can I say –\u00a0ON BRAND!<\/p>\n

Bellora<\/a> – after seeing my guide to Copenhagen, you guys know I\u2019m all about the pizza. So when we walked by Bellora, we knew we need to try it! The restaurant is at the bottom of a super chic hotel and you can sit in an indoor\/outdoor room that feels like a greenhouse. The pizza was lovely, as was the ros\u00e9 and it\u2019s the perfect spot to do a late lunch.<\/p>\n

Canal Tours<\/a> – We didn\u2019t walk quite as much as we did in Copenhagen, I mean, we did have a Volvo to drive around in\u2026 DUH, but we did manage to get ourselves over to the dock for a canal tour! It seriously is one of my favorite ways to see a city!<\/p>\n

\"Gaby's<\/p>\n

Dorisa Hotel and Restaurant<\/a> – here\u2019s the deal. The Dorsia is EVERYTHING! It\u2019s an incredible hotel, a beautiful restaurant where you can taste test your way through the menu, and the perfect place to grab an after dinner cocktail on their rooftop patio. The attention to detail here is majorly instal-worthy!<\/p>\n

\"Gaby's<\/p>\n

Rose Gardens<\/a> – I mean, we can\u2019t eat 24 hours a day right? So inbetween meals, my sister and I strolled around the insanely beautiful rose gardens that are just east of the downtown area. Hundreds of different kinds of roses line the park and it\u2019s the perfect place to relax on a sunny summer swedish day!<\/p>\n

Norda Bar and Grill<\/a> – go for the steak!! Pinkie promise it\u2019s perfection. Norda Bar and Grill is the place to see and be seen. It feels uber hip and exactly where I’d want to go with my friends on a Friday night!<\/p>\n

A big giant thank you to Volvo<\/a>, the Gothenburg Tourism Board<\/a> and Koalition<\/a> for such an incredible trip<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
