Sjömagasinet in one sentence: Fish and shellfish restaurant in historic premises next to the water.

Seafood delicacies in historic surroundings 

Beautifully situated in the Klippan area on Södra Älvstranden, this historic restaurant has hosting celebrities including the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen over the years. The menu includes classic fish and shellfish dishes. 

Sjömagasinet first opened in 1984 and over the years it's been run by restaurateurs including Leif Mannerström and Lars Ahlström. Since spring 2021, Jennie Selin and Mats Sjölander have been behind the helm. The historic building covers two floors with several rooms in a maritime style, such as the rustic upper floor with wooden beams and sloping ceilings. On the jetty there's also a large outdoor seating area with a view of Gothenburg's harbour entrance. Nowadays, the restaurant has a slightly more inclusive feel and the building has been carefully renovated, but the origins still live on. Some of the wallpaper, for example, reflects the building's origins as a warehouse for the East India Company in the 18th century. 

Come to Sjömagasinet for lunch and dinner all year round. The menu revolves around classic seafood dishes, inspired by the West Coast and France, but culinary influences also come from further afield. You'll find everything from oysters to well-prepared main dishes and French desserts. The wine list includes champagne, sparkling wines and wines by the glass. Groups that want to sit separately can book a private dining room and it's also possible to book special events or arrange weddings at the restaurant. Since 2022, there's also a food hall here where the home cook can buy delicacies from both sea and land.

Unfortunately, we would like to express our great disappointment with yesterday's Christmas buffet, including service.
We have previously had a tradition to visit Sjömagasinet's Christmas buffet with a few years' break to try other restaurants and looked forward to coming bac...

Coming to Gothenburg and will visit Sjömagasinet, which has now received new owners and a half-good review in DI. Expectations are high and they quickly fall downhill. We have been here a long time ago in Mannerström's time. Already in the doorway we are met by a man (certainly owner)...

Besökte Sjömagasinet idag tillsammans med familjen. Julbordet var helt fantastiskt, personalen lika så speciellt Elvira som tog hand om oss, prisvärt kommer tillbax.

Jag var på Sjömagasinet i somras med bl.a. min mamma som varit där flera gånger genom åren. Hon älskar skaldjur och ville absolut dit igen när vi besökte Göteborg.
Vilken besvikelse det blev, både för min gamla mamma och vi andra i sä...

Service was a little bit slow slightly
Inattentive, but nice enough. The starter and the main course made the produce shine. The desert, fried Camembert was undercooked. The chocolate fondant was a chocolate truffle. The crème brûlée did not have a crusty top. In hindsight do...

Jag hade stora förväntningar på Sjömagasinets julbord men blev tyvärr en gnutta besviken.

Extremt dyrt kuvert för ett rätt ”random” julbord. Saknade lite av smakerna som lovades vid beskrivningarna på rätterna.

Det som sti...
