Marstrands Havshotell is located on beautiful Marstrand, with the sea right outside the door, and is a hotel restaurant with a clear focus on quality and overall experience. The kitchen maintains a high level of ambition and works with carefully selected ingredients, local and small-scale suppliers, as well as its own bakery – where craftsmanship permeates both food and service.

The restaurant has a unique view of the water and serves dishes where flavors from Bohuslän and the sea are at the center. The dining experience is an important part of the hotel’s overall concept that encourages guests to stay longer and return willingly.

The business is in a development phase with big plans and upcoming investments. Here, high quality requirements are combined with clear structure in routines, schedules, and staffing. The culture is something we live in our daily lives; we support each other, solve things together, and learn from one another in an engaged and professional team.

Marstrand is also a vibrant destination year-round, with sea-related activities, historical environments, and events just around the corner.

A Day with Us

You start at 12:00 with a review of to-do lists and prep. At 14:00, the evening team joins, and you lead the briefing. At 15:30, you check orders, and at 16:30 you prepare the kitchen for service.
