Ångbåtskaféet Eduard Melin is aboard Gothenburg’s oldest registered vessel, which dates from 1882. The café is located by Klippans kulturreservat. After a period of renovation, it has reopened with chef Sofia B Olsson and her daughter Elvira at the helm. The café is on the vessel itself, making the boat part of the visit rather than just a landmark nearby.

Sofia B Olsson is the chef behind restaurant Vrå. She is also known from the Swedish television programmes Årets kock and Kockarnas kamp. The reopening brings her and Elvira to the café, which remains a café aboard the city’s oldest registered vessel. Its location by Klippans kulturreservat and its history as a vessel dating to 1882 are the main details that set this café apart.

Opening hours and the menu may vary during the start-up period. Check the café’s social media for current updates before you go. The information available does not give a fixed schedule or prices, so check for updates when planning your visit.
