Self guided food walk

Start you walk at Big Lake Coffee and Smithens, here  you will find Coffee and local delicacies. Continue the taste walk through the city, on the pedestrian street, Prästgatan, you are greeted by the aroma of freshly ground coffee from TeloGott, the town’s oldest confectionery shop where you also can find a large selection of  chocolate goodies.

Then feel free to take a detour down the road Hamngatan if you are curious about art from our region – here you will find Norra Station with art gallery Lux, here is also Hamngatan 12 Magasinet, a little more than a cafe, a little more than an interior design shop.

If you then continue down towards Storgatan you will find Svensson’s frame shop providing colorful works by the county’s pride, one of Sweden’s most recognized naivists, Primus Mortimer Pettersson. 

As you continue along Storgatan, turn up Biblioteksgatan and check out the cozy restaurant Oense, one of the city’s newly opened restaurants and cafes, open from brunch to dinner. In the same alley, we recommend a stop at Gaupa. A shop that sells everything from home-knit socks to blankets.

At the harbor you will find Storsjöhyttan, which, among other things, produces its own series of drinking glasses, Jämtlandsservisen.

Tivars Gårdsmejeri on the Island Norderön, is a pearl located close to Verkö Slott. To Verkö Slott you will either take the ferry in summertime or the ice road in wintertime. At Tivars you can taste the farm’s own cheeses, combined with specially selected wines. The restaurant is located right on the beach of lake Storsjön with a view of “Storsjöflaket” and Oviksfjällen.

Once back in Östersund you have several really nice restaurants that should not be missed, for example Bua where ecology and sustainability go hand in hand with creativity, food enjoyment and close relationships with local farmers, hunters and producers.

Enjoy your tasty tour!
