Hjortviken Country Club

Do you want to cook food that feels as good as it tastes? Welcome to Hjortviken Country Club!

Hjortviken Country Club opened in January 2025, just 20 minutes from Gothenburg, beautifully located by Lake Västra Nedsjön. Here, energy meets tranquility, community meets quality. We are now looking for a chef who wants to help create memorable meals in a warm, rustic, and authentic environment.

Club Room – our living room

Club Room is the first thing you encounter when entering Hjortviken. The restaurant and kitchen are a tribute to Tore Wretman – the man who shaped modern Swedish home cooking and put the Swedish smörgåsbord on the world map.

Here, we cook classic Swedish food with pride, heart, and respect for the ingredients. The menu features dishes such as venison meatballs with cream sauce, mashed potatoes, pickled cucumber, and lingonberry jam – food that brings people together around the table and turns conversations into good memories.

The atmosphere is rustic, masculine, and authentically warming. Club Room is the place where guests land, stay for a long time, and gladly return.
