Djäknebergets Restaurang

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Hilltop Table Above Västerås

Perched at the top of Djäkneberget, Djäknebergets Restaurang offers something genuinely rare: a panoramic view that takes in the Västerås skyline and the spire of the cathedral, paired with well-crafted Swedish food served at a consistently high level. The setting alone would draw visitors, but it is the kitchen that keeps them coming back.

Brothers Behind the Pass

The restaurant is run by brothers Tommy and Jiri Ondracek, whose approach to Swedish cuisine is grounded and unpretentious. Their menu is designed to work equally well for a weekday lunch as for a proper celebration dinner — a balance that is harder to strike than it sounds. On any given evening the dining room fills with guests of all ages and occasions, which says something real about the atmosphere: this is a place that does not ask you to dress a certain way or arrive with a particular reason.

Recognized for Good Reason

That accessibility, combined with genuine kitchen craft, earned Djäknebergets Restaurang a Fine level distinction in the White Guide 2026 — one of Sweden's most respected restaurant assessments. The recognition reflects what regulars already know: that classic Swedish cooking, executed with care and served in a room with one of the best views in Västerås, is a combination worth seeking out.

Lunch, Dinner and Private Gatherings

The restaurant serves lunch on weekdays and dinner from Tuesday through Sunday, with Saturday and Sunday also offering midday sittings. Private parties are welcome, and the venue's elevated position and view make it a natural choice for celebrations. There is also a café with minigolf on the property, adding a relaxed dimension to the hilltop experience.
