Vildsint

Experience our restaurant

The smell of tar, the sound of a crackling fire and the soft coffee from the cauldron. Here, butter sizzles on the mural, bread is baked in the bakehouse, and food is served on wood shavings. We cook over an open fire, respecting the season and the rhythm of nature. Everything we serve is prepared with love, pride - and of course a hefty dose of wildness.

Right here, in Restaurant Vildsint, your experience begins.

DROP IN 2025

The 25th of June is the day. We're opening up for you, your family, friends or why not the whole extended family for a lovely spontaneous visit with us in Svansele. Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays until September we will keep the fire warm for you!

But wait a minute - what is vildsint?

Vildsint - a new chapter for Svansele

Svansele Wildlife exhibition was born in 1996 out of Thorbjörn Holmlund's love for his home region, for local history - and perhaps above all for nature and its cycles. For many years, everything looked almost the same, and it was beautiful that way. But nature itself never stands still. And neither do we.

Vildsint is a continuation that honours the roots but dares to take a turn. With a sustainability mindset in the kitchen, an updated menu, a new design and a new approach that wants to highlight Västerbotten from completely new angles.

From game board to vildsint

Simply put, Vildsint is the new name of our restaurant - but in practice it is so much more.
We know that we are so much more than just game board (which of course still exists).

What are we doing differently?

Just like nature, we live with the seasonal changes. We have used our classic Västerbotten culinary skills, pickled and fermented with a smile on our face. We reduce waste and compose new dishes according to the seasonal supply with love of nature. We've baked, we've invented wild desserts and we've made sure that our menu is equally good for everyone - regardless of allergies and special diets. We believe it's for the best.

Is the exhibition still there?

Of course it does. We will also record a guided tour so that you can listen to it in several languages using your mobile phone.

We might have become a bit boastful, but it doesn't really matter, as long as you sense our happiness in our work

It was our first time there and we were incredibly impressed. Not only was there breathtakingly good, fresh regional food, there was also a great exhibition about the natural inhabitants here in the north. Everything was done with great attention to detail.
