Havsörnen - Eriksberg

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Where the Savanna Meets the Swedish Coast

Eriksberg Hotel & Nature Reserve occupies 925 hectares of forest, coastline and open savanna on the Blekinge coast between Karlshamn and Ronneby. Wisents, red and fallow deer, and wild boar move freely through the landscape — and that same wild proximity shapes everything that happens at the table inside Havsörnen.

A Lodge Atmosphere, Seriously Sourced

The dining room carries the weight of the place well. Mounted trophies, heavy leather furniture and long views across Eriksberg's savanna create an atmosphere that White Guide — which awarded the restaurant its Fine level recognition in 2026 — aptly compared to a lodge in Africa. The style is relaxed and elegant at once, and the service is described as discreet and knowledgeable, the kind that helps you find the right bottle rather than simply listing options.

That wine cellar holds some 9,000 bottles, a carefully assembled classic selection that anchors the fine dining experience as firmly as the kitchen does.

Ingredients from the Reserve Itself

The menu draws directly from the surrounding land. A dinner here might open with delicate game salami sharpened with lavender — a quiet nod to the hunting heritage of the estate. The dove, according to White Guide's reviewers, arrives perfectly juicy with a lightly browned surface and an elegant bordelaise sauce: precise, unfussy cooking that lets the produce speak.

Eriksberg also offers a gourmet package built around a five-course dinner, pairing the kitchen's seasonal work with the depth of the cellar — a format that makes the most of an overnight stay.

More Than a Meal

Guests who stay the night can extend the evening with billiards and a jacuzzi on the terrace before retiring to rooms with views over the reserve. A guided wildlife safari through the park — where swallows and larks perform above the cliffs and herds roam below — makes the fine dining dinner feel like a natural conclusion to the day rather than a standalone event.

It is a rare setting: serious enough to earn national recognition for its fine dining, grounded enough that the landscape outside the window never feels like decoration.
