Fäviken magasinet michelin

Deep into the wild forest of Järpen in northern Sweden there’s an amazing place unlike anything else. Magnus’ old wolf fur coat hangs on the wall. Next, a crust made of pig’s blood filled with rainbow trout roe. This selective importation, which also occasionally included sugar and vinegar, accounted for less than 10% of total ingredients and supported the broader commitment to locality without compromising feasibility.^{[37][38][39][40][41]}To bridge seasonal gaps, Fäviken employed a comprehensive preservation strategy involving annual harvesting cycles, where summer and autumn yields of vegetables, berries, and herbs were processed and stored for winter use.

Additionally, Nilsson expressed a desire to prioritize family time with his wife and four young children, as well as to pursue broader interests including rest, writing, and gardening on a new 18-hectare apple orchard in southern Sweden.

This approach resulted in a seasonal schedule, typically operating from late summer through early spring with an annual eight-week closure in spring, providing service four nights per week. This luxury is restricted to guests who spend the night here, as the sauna is located in the “hotel” part of Fäviken Magasinet. After all, Fäviken Magasinet is all about preservation throughout the seasons – pickling, fermenting, curing, salting, drying – due to its challenging location in a place where hardly anything grows half of the year.

Meats sourced locally, including heritage pigs raised on the property and reindeer from the surrounding area, contributing meats and byproducts integral to the menu.^{[27][28][29][30][31][32][33]}Foraging practices were central to operations, with the kitchen team conducting regular hunts in the estate's forests and meadows for wild elements like herbs, lichens such as reindeer lichen, and occasional insects including ants during the summer months.

All the text is set in Ivar, a warm and contemporary serif font designed by type foundry Letters From Sweden.

A small graphic device in the form of a nordic arrow (which references the door of the famous root cellar where vegetables were sometimes stored for up to eight months before being used) features on the continuation pages. 

Although Fäviken Magasinet has closed, its legacy lives on and Magnus Nilsson remains one of the world’s most revered and creative chefs.

In total, the route takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes, but you’ll be wise to calculate 3 hours in case of icy tracks. The main dining room on the second floor, Matsalen, has five tables and a total of 16 seats and can be booked by 2, 4 or 6 people. We serve it with almost burn cream that we reduce quickly. Umami and acidity in harmony.

– It’s normal in Sweden to pickle herring for Christmas.

Salty and rich. The door opens before you reach it. The assistant restaurant manager comes out to greet you, and offers valet parking for your car.

Checking in atthe Fäviken Accommodation Room

Fäviken Magasinet offers accommodations, but the availability is very limited. You lift up the lid, grab the scallop and eat it with your hands.

We place it live over a fire. The restaurant adjusted its menu length over time, streamlining from longer formats in the early years to more focused progressions by the mid-2010s, while earning two Michelin stars in 2016 and consistent rankings in the World's 50 Best Restaurants list, peaking at No. 34 in 2012.
