Restaurant in Gothenburg, Sweden
Dual format, one star, repeat visits rewarded.

Project holds a Michelin star for both 2024 and 2025, making it one of Gothenburg's strongest cases for a repeat visit. Chef Peter Grasmeier runs a dual format — set menus and à la carte — at €€€, with an internationally inspired menu that shifts across seasons. Book three to four weeks ahead minimum; this room does not stay open for long.
If you've already visited Project once, come back. The Michelin star it has held through both 2024 and 2025 is not a fluke, and the combination of set menus and à la carte gives you a genuinely different experience on each visit. Project earns a firm recommendation for anyone serious about Gothenburg dining — but book well ahead, because a one-star room at €€€ pricing in a city this food-focused fills fast.
Project sits at Södra Vägen 45, in a part of Gothenburg that skews residential and low-key rather than tourist-facing. The address works in your favour: the room feels like a place the city actually uses, not a destination set-piece. From a spatial perspective, the dining room reads as intimate in scale , the kind of setting where the distance between tables matters and a solo diner at the counter or a pair in a corner both feel like deliberate placements rather than afterthoughts. The environment is calm rather than theatrical, which makes it a better call for a conversation-led dinner than a scene-chasing one. If you're returning for a second visit, this is the room where you'll notice what you missed the first time: the pacing, the way the floor team manages the room, the sightlines.
Under chef Peter Grasmeier, Project runs an internationally inspired menu across both set-menu and à la carte formats. That dual structure is the practical reason to visit more than once. On a first visit, the set menu is the right call: it gives you the kitchen's current argument in full, and at the €€€ price point it represents reasonable value for Michelin-level cooking in Sweden. On a second visit, use the à la carte to go deeper on the courses that stood out. This is not a restaurant where the à la carte exists as a fallback for people who don't want commitment , it functions as a proper alternative path through the kitchen's thinking.
The internationally inspired framing means the menu is not locked into New Nordic orthodoxy the way some Gothenburg competitors are. That gives Grasmeier more room to move across seasons and influences, which is partly why a second or third visit tends to surface something different. For the current season, expect the menu to reflect what's available and relevant now rather than a fixed-forever signature list. If you visited in a different season and the menu felt one way, it will feel different today. That's the right reason to return.
For a third visit, or if you're the kind of diner who maps a restaurant carefully, consider booking on a quieter night and leaning into the wine bar dimension of Project. The venue describes itself explicitly as a wine bar and restaurant , not just a restaurant with a wine list. That distinction is meaningful. The wine programme deserves attention in its own right, and treating an evening here as a wine-led experience with food alongside gives you a materially different evening than a food-led one with wine as support.
Google reviewers give Project 4.5 from 276 ratings, which is a strong signal at that sample size for a Michelin-starred room. Starred restaurants in Sweden often attract polarised scores , high from regulars, lower from diners who arrive with misaligned expectations. A 4.5 from 276 suggests consistent delivery rather than a few enthusiastic outliers pulling the average up. The 2024 and 2025 Michelin stars confirm the kitchen is operating at a level that the guide considers worth the trip.
For context within Sweden's broader Michelin tier, [Frantzén in Stockholm](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/frantzn-stockholm-restaurant) sits at three stars and [Vollmers in Malmö](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/vollmers-malm-restaurant) holds two. Project at one star in Gothenburg is priced and positioned as the accessible entry point into Swedish fine dining without the full commitment of a multi-star tasting menu. Comparable one-star modern cuisine destinations worth benchmarking include [Signum in Mölnlycke](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/signum-mlnlycke-restaurant), [VYN in Simrishamn](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/vyn-simrishamn-restaurant), [ÄNG in Tvååker](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/ng-tvker-restaurant), and [Knystaforsen in Rydöbruk](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/knystaforsen-rydbruk-restaurant) , each operating in the same tier but with different regional and stylistic emphases. If you're planning a wider Sweden dining trip, [Maison Lameloise in Chagny](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/maison-lameloise-chagny-restaurant) and [FZN by Björn Frantzén in Dubai](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/fzn-by-bjrn-frantzn-dubai-restaurant) offer international reference points for modern cuisine at comparable or higher price levels.
Book hard and book early. A Michelin-starred wine bar and restaurant at €€€ in Gothenburg , a city with a serious, knowledgeable dining public , will not have open tables on short notice most weeks. Aim for at minimum three to four weeks ahead for a weekend table; weekday availability may be slightly more forgiving. No booking method is confirmed in our data, so check the restaurant's current reservation channels directly. Given the dual format (set menu and à la carte), it is worth specifying your preference when booking if the option is offered.

Book at least three to four weeks in advance, and longer for weekend tables. Project holds a Michelin star for both 2024 and 2025, which means it competes for the same pool of reservation slots as every serious dining occasion in Gothenburg. At €€€ pricing, it also attracts local regulars who plan ahead. Weekday evenings may have slightly more availability, but don't count on it. Check current reservation channels directly , booking method is not confirmed in our data.
Yes, with caveats. The wine bar and restaurant format at Project is more accommodating for solo diners than a rigid tasting-menu-only room would be. The à la carte option means you can control pace and spend without committing to a full set menu. At €€€ in a Michelin-starred room, solo dining here sits comfortably within the price range of comparable Swedish destinations. Call ahead to confirm counter or bar seating options , specific seat configuration is not in our data, but the wine bar identity suggests flexibility.
No dress code is confirmed in our data, but smart casual is the practical baseline for a Michelin-starred venue at €€€ in Gothenburg. Swedish fine dining generally skews away from formal jacket requirements, but arriving underdressed relative to the room is a risk not worth taking. Think smart rather than black tie. If you're in any doubt, contact the restaurant directly , the award level and price range signal that the room takes its environment seriously.
No specific policy is confirmed in our data. Given that Project offers both set menus and à la carte, there is more flexibility here than at a single fixed-menu room , you can work around restrictions via the à la carte when the set menu cannot accommodate. Internationally inspired modern cuisine at this level typically means a kitchen that is used to adapting, but do not assume: contact the restaurant directly before booking if dietary needs are a deciding factor.
No group policy or capacity figure is confirmed in our data. At Michelin-starred restaurants in the €€€ range, groups of six or more typically require advance notice and often cannot be seated on the same terms as smaller parties. If you're planning a group visit to Project specifically, contact them directly and be upfront about size. For larger groups where flexibility matters more, [Familjen](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/familjen) at €€ is a Gothenburg alternative better suited to casual group dynamics.
Project is a Michelin-starred wine bar and restaurant, not a large-format group venue. Small groups of two to four are the natural fit, especially given the €€€ price point and the intimacy that typically comes with starred rooms in Gothenburg. For larger parties, check the venue's official channels to confirm whether private or semi-private arrangements are possible, as nothing on this is documented in the venue record.
Project holds a Michelin star and sits at the €€€ price tier, which in Scandinavia typically means considered but not formally dressed. Think clean, put-together clothes rather than a suit or evening wear. Gothenburg's dining culture leans relaxed-but-deliberate, so overly casual dress would feel off at a room operating at this level.
Project runs both set menus and an à la carte format under chef Peter Grasmeier, which gives more flexibility than a single fixed menu would. The à la carte option in particular makes dietary accommodation more viable than at tasting-menu-only restaurants. Contact the venue ahead of your visit to confirm what they can work with, as specifics are not in the current venue record.
Yes. The wine bar element at Project makes it a practical solo option, more so than a purely tasting-menu restaurant would be. A Michelin-starred room with à la carte available means you can eat well without committing to a full set menu alone. Gothenburg has a knowledgeable dining public, so solo guests at this level are not unusual.
Book at least three to four weeks out. Project has held its Michelin star through both 2024 and 2025, it operates at €€€, and Gothenburg diners take restaurant reservations seriously. Leaving it to a week out risks missing a table entirely, particularly on weekends. Book as soon as your dates are fixed.
