The story
Crafted with passion, served with love
Where Borgholm Unwinds
On Storgatan 5, right in the heart of Borgholm, Brasseriet Tack o Bock sets the tone for the island's easy-going spirit. Sidewalk tables put you front and center on the harbor promenade, making it the kind of spot where an afternoon beer can quietly become an evening worth remembering.
The Food and the Brewery
The kitchen leans Mediterranean, and the White Guide has taken notice – recommending Tack o Bock in its 2026 edition for cooking that is both relaxed and precise. An asparagus risotto delivers buttery, crisp-green flavors with crunch from almond, while pan-seared cod is handled with a delicate touch and paired, boldly and correctly, with a French Chardonnay carrying a distinct note of Gruyère. Burgers round out a menu that never takes itself too seriously.
What sets the place apart is the in-house brewery. The tropical, carbonation-forward IPA Moonsaic is a house signature – one of several options for anyone who came for the beer and stayed for the Mediterranean food.
The Room and the Feeling
Inside, exposed brick walls and generous woodwork give the brasserie a cozy, rustic warmth. A newly added outdoor kitchen at the back extends the operation and the ambition. The staff are, by all accounts, genuinely cheerful – and the music has a way of making you want to move. That combination of good food, proper craft beer and an atmosphere that hums rather than shouts is exactly what the White Guide recognized: the relaxed vibe of Borgholm starts here.
