Life on the Quays of the Göta Canal
Watch the boats pass through the locks while you enjoy an ice cream or a coffee and pastry and take in the scenery along the Göta Canal. During the summer season, we serve lunch and dinner at Norrqvarn. Combine your meal with a visit to the Mini Canal, a walk along the water, or an overnight stay in the area.
The restaurant is closed for the season and will reopen in May 2027. Check this page for current opening hours and menus before your visit. For family gatherings and other groups, we’re happy to provide a suggestion upon request.
By the water, right in the heart of summer life.
Long lunches on the outdoor terrace, boating right next door, and live music on select summer evenings. The photos show previous seasons at Norrqvarn.
Live music is offered according to the upcoming season's program. Please ask us about dates and arrangements for your visit.

Looking for a truly enjoyable break from your daily routine? Every weekday this summer, we serve a daily lunch special in our peaceful restaurant. We focus on well-prepared home-style cooking with a modern twist, always made with carefully selected ingredients.
The restaurant is closed and will reopen in May 2027
The ice cream kiosk
The sunny side is best with an ice cream in hand! We offer a wonderful selection of scoop ice cream, popsicles, and cones from our favorite, Klings Glass—locally produced in Mariestad. Enjoy a cone on the pier or take a stroll with a cup along the Göta Canal.
The ice cream stand is open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. between June 13 and August 16.
