Restaurant in Gothenburg, Sweden
Sweden's longest-running Michelin star. Book early.

28+ has held a Michelin star for over 30 years — the longest continuous run in Sweden — making it Gothenburg's most reliable fine dining address. Chef duo Kim Jonsson and Markus Pettersson run a Modern Cuisine kitchen that rewards seasonal timing: book in autumn for the richest produce or late spring for West Coast shellfish. Reservations are hard to secure; plan several weeks ahead.
If you are planning a serious dinner in Gothenburg and want a Michelin-starred room with decades of proven consistency behind it, 28+ is the right call. This is the place for a significant anniversary dinner, a client meal that needs to land, or a food-focused trip where you want to eat somewhere with a track record that outlasts most restaurants in Sweden. It is not the place for a casual weeknight out or a first date where the bill might cause anxiety. At €€€ pricing and with one of the longest Michelin star runs in Swedish history, 28+ rewards guests who come prepared and come for a reason.
28+ has held its Michelin star for over 30 years, which is the longest continuous run of any restaurant in Sweden. That is not a marketing claim — it is a verifiable record, and it matters when you are deciding whether to spend serious money on a dinner. Consistency at this level, across three decades and the full sweep of Nordic culinary fashion (from French-influenced fine dining through the New Nordic wave and beyond), signals something more durable than trend-chasing. Chefs Kim Jonsson and Markus Pettersson are running a restaurant that has survived because the cooking keeps earning the star, not because of a single celebrated season.
For context, Frantzén in Stockholm operates at three stars and a higher price tier. Vollmers in Malmö and Signum in Mölnlycke are comparably decorated destinations in the wider region. 28+ sits in that company as Gothenburg's most enduring fine dining address. Google reviewers give it 4.5 across 292 reviews, which, for a room at this price point, reflects a broad base of satisfied guests rather than a narrow cult following.
Modern Cuisine at this level in Sweden lives and dies by what the season offers. The further into autumn and winter you go, the more 28+ can work with preserved, fermented, and foraged ingredients that suit the kitchen's approach. Late autumn , October through December , is when Swedish produce hits its richest register: root vegetables, game, coastal shellfish, and the preserved flavours built up from the summer harvest. If you are visiting Gothenburg specifically for the food, this is the window that gives the kitchen the most to work with.
Spring visits, from April through June, offer a different proposition: early-season produce, lighter preparations, and the start of West Coast seafood season. Gothenburg's proximity to the Bohuslän coast means the kitchen has access to some of the leading shellfish in Scandinavia, and late spring is when that supply is at its most reliable and varied. Summer visits are possible but the city's tourist peak means booking pressure is higher and you are competing with a larger pool of diners for the same tables.
The restaurant added Vinbaren 28+ in 2016 , a wine bar within the same address, described as a cosy corner with exclusive wines and knowledgeable service. If you want to eat at 28+ but cannot secure a reservation for the main room, the wine bar is worth considering as an entry point. It also makes this address a logical stop if you are building an evening around wine rather than a full tasting menu. For wine-focused visitors to the city, our full Gothenburg bars guide has further options.
The address on Götabergsgatan sits in central Gothenburg, and the room has the atmosphere of a place that has been doing this long enough not to feel the need to announce itself. Expect a quieter, more contained energy than younger restaurants in the city. This is not a loud room. Conversation is the point. If you are coming from somewhere like Project or Koka, the register here skews slightly more formal, without tipping into stiff. The 30-year track record means the service team has absorbed a lot of institutional knowledge; the experience tends to feel composed rather than trying hard.
Booking difficulty is rated hard. 28+ does not operate on walk-ins as a primary route, and for a room with this profile you should plan well in advance , several weeks at minimum, longer if you are targeting a Friday or Saturday, or if you are visiting during peak autumn or Christmas season. The phone number is not listed in Pearl's current database; check the restaurant directly for reservation methods. For groups or special occasion requests, contact early and be specific about what you need.

Menu specifics are not published in advance, which is standard practice for seasonal Modern Cuisine at this level. At €€€ with a 30-year Michelin star track record, the kitchen at 28+ earns trust — go with whatever the tasting format offers on the night. If you want menu visibility before arrival, check the venue's official channels when booking.
Dietary requirements are not detailed publicly, but a kitchen that has held a Michelin star continuously for over 30 years will have handled dietary restrictions many thousands of times. Declare restrictions clearly at the time of booking — do not leave it to arrival. If the dietary complexity is significant, call ahead and confirm before committing to the reservation.
Gothenburg does not have a strong counter-dining culture at the Michelin level, and 28+ is not documented as having a dedicated solo counter. For solo diners, Vinbaren 28+ — the wine bar they opened in 2016 at the same address — is a more practical entry point: smaller format, knowledgeable service, and lower commitment than a full tasting dinner.
Vinbaren 28+, the wine bar opened in 2016 alongside the main restaurant, is the closest equivalent to bar dining here. It serves exclusive wines with knowledgeable staff and offers a less formal way to experience the 28+ address without booking the main room. Whether it runs a food menu on par with the restaurant is worth confirming directly.
Group suitability is not detailed in available venue data. For a restaurant with this booking profile — rated hard, Michelin-starred, €€€ — groups of four or more should contact 28+ directly well in advance rather than relying on standard online booking. Larger parties at this level in Gothenburg are typically handled on request, not through standard availability.
No dress code is specified publicly, but a 30-year Michelin-starred room in central Gothenburg at the €€€ price range carries implicit expectations. Dress as you would for a serious dinner: neat, presentable, and not casual. You will not be turned away for not wearing a jacket, but underdressing will feel out of place in a room with this tenure.
