Villa Godthem

Classic Swedish gastronomy in a merchant's villa from 1874 — where history whispers and the fire still burns today.

Our philosophy

The classic restaurant kitchen

Plank steak, Toast Skagen, Pelle Janzon and Wallenbergare. Dishes that have shaped a nation and have been served at our tables for over a century. Our head chef Antonio Molina refines them daily — without losing the roots. Because it is the heritage we cherish, not the trend.

— a craft since 1874

History

Since 1874

Villa Godthem is a unique merchant's villa and former private residence, completed in 1874. It was built as a gift by devoted admirers for the renowned opera singer Carl Johan Uddman.

The story goes that the portly Uddman, in an unusual turn, walked home from the Opera one evening, and upon entering the hallway exclaimed breathlessly:

"I have WALKED home!"

Hence the name. Since the Stockholm Exhibition of 1897, Villa Godthem has served as a restaurant — welcoming guests for business lunches, dates, weekend dinners and weddings for over a century.

History
Clubroom

Clubroom

The Club Room is Villa Godthem's chambre séparée — an intimate and secluded space accommodating up to 40 guests. Surrounded by the merchant villa's storied walls and historic atmosphere, the Club Room offers a completely private experience, separated from the rest of the restaurant. Perfect for the intimate wedding, the private dinner, or the group that wants the room entirely to themselves.

The garden

The garden features beautiful stone paving and an abundance of lush plants. Here you can happily settle into comfortable lounge furniture, and of course there are heaters and blankets available if it gets chilly.

W.25 Open Monday-Sunday 11.00-20.00

Seasonal highlight

Christmas buffet at Villa Godthem

Hopefully the snow crunches underfoot, the fire is burning and the scent of mulled wine drifts through the old salons. Inside the merchant's villa, a classic Swedish Christmas buffet is laid out.

The Christmas food is carefully prepared according to classic recipes and with traditional ingredients — just as it has tasted on Djurgården for over a century.
