Eksgården Krog & Rum is a venue in Gårdby with a casual dress code and recognition from Star Wine List in 2026. Approach it with clear expectations: confirm the current menu, hours, booking process, dietary accommodation, seating details directly with the venue before planning around it.
The Star Wine List recognition is worth noting, but it should not be stretched into assumptions about cuisine, service format, price, pairings, or a specific drinks program.

Before planning around walk-ins, late service, bar dining, or a particular occasion format, confirm the venue's current hours, booking options, service details. For dress, casual is the guidance. For anything more specific, including dietary needs or a special-occasion setup, contact the venue before booking.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Eksgården reads like a small-country coastal house where the landscape is the foremost design element. The restaurant sits on Öland’s south‑east side, where farmland meets shoreline and the light is a defining feature; that combination lends the place a calm, painterly quality. The kitchen’s approach follows the island’s rhythms rather than trends, so the room feels unforced and attentive to seasonality. Expect an atmosphere that emphasizes place and provenance—quiet, attentive and quietly refined—rather than high‑concept theatrics.
Best For
Eksgården suits diners who prioritize locality and seasonality over city‑style spectacle. The kitchen sources from the immediate island—lamb, root vegetables and foraged coastal plants are central—so it attracts visitors seeking an authentic regional meal and a relaxed coastal setting. It works well for couples or small groups who want an unhurried dinner rooted in Öland’s landscape, and for travelers who appreciate dining that reads as part of the island’s agricultural rhythm rather than a standalone destination experience.
Ordering Tips
Let the island set your choices: menus here pivot on what grows and moves nearby, so ask the staff what’s most seasonal and what producers supplied that day. Expect dishes built around Öland staples—lamb, root vegetables and foraged coastal plants—and prioritize items that highlight those ingredients. Because the supply chains are short, specials and nightly variations are likely; checking what’s fresh will give the clearest sense of the kitchen’s relationship to local farms and the coastline.
