From September 11-20, The Food Capital of Gothenburg will be filled with exciting food experiences from several of the city's best local producers and food creators.
FoodFest Gothenburg is a unique opportunity to discover the city's food culture through workshops, tastings and pop-ups. Experience and share completely new and unexpected flavors from both near and far, while meeting chefs, growers, food profiles — and other food lovers.
Get to know more about Gothenburg's food scene in our Cities at the Table podcast episode: "Seafood, Seaweed, and the Making of Gothenburg’s Sustainable Food Future."
In the episode, we travel to Gothenburg, Sweden, where sea and city come together to shape a dynamic food culture. Joined by Sofie Mantzaris of Göteborg & Co and Martin Berg from the City of Gothenburg, we explore how the city is building a resilient food future through sustainable seafood, blue food innovation, and city farming initiatives that reconnect residents with what they eat. At the same time, Gothenburg is strengthening its reputation as a leading gastronomic destination, celebrated for its exceptional seafood, creative chefs, and vibrant culinary scene. From its historic harbor to its urban farms and signature dishes like the Gothenburg Royale, the city shows how food can drive sustainability, community, and global appeal.
