Aroma and Taste – Visit the Distillery
In the 35-meter-high Gravity Distillery in Mackmyra Whisky Village, just nearby Gävle's city center, Swedish single malt whisky is produced. Take part in the adventure and book a guided tour ahead of both the distillery and the fragrant warehouse where thousands of barrels lie maturing – just a stone's throw from the own smokehouse where the scent of juniper and peat is heavy. Mackmyra Bar & Bistro serves whisky-inspired food with a focus on taste experiences.
Do as the White Guide – Enjoy the Best Food
This venerable address has been a neighborhood restaurant since the 1970s. Frida and Johan Flodman, who currently run the restaurant, have a simple and clear food philosophy; to cook with seasonal ingredients from selected producers. Inspired by their travels and visits to several of the world's best restaurants, they have created what they call "Fine Wine." Enjoy outstanding wines from around the world, with a focus on Europe and France.
Juniper, cucumber, black pepper, and much more
A simple G&T, that's how it started many years ago. Interest in the drink grew into a passion, and together with a love for food and flavors, the concept around the Ginbar eventually developed. With carefully selected ingredients and great love for the craftsmanship practiced in the restaurant, you are warmly welcomed for some relaxed and memorable hours.
