Specialties
On board the Bistro Esperanza Bistro we cook by the season. Ingredients, weather and mood control what we put in our pots. Preferably from nearby farms but with a hint of distant ports.
Welcome aboard! Captain Ann-Mari with crew.
Ombord på Esperanza lagar vi mat efter säsong. Råvaror, väder och humör styr vad vi stoppar i våra grytor. Gärna från nära gårdar, men med en doft av fjärran hamnar. Vi bjuder på genuin atmosfär och hemma hos känsla.
Vår öppna byssa ger närkontakt mellan besättning och gäster. Vi lagar mat från grunden.
Smaklig spis önskar kapten Ann-Mari med besättning.
History
Established in 2014.
Esperanza is a sailing ship, built in 1902. For many years she sailed in the Netherlands carrying a cargo of sugar. Later on she was turned into a sailing charter and took up to 30 guests on sailing adventures.
2014 she made the (so far) longest trip and ended up in Linköping, Sweden. She is now a bistro in the middle of the city on Kinda kanal. Open all year.
Bistro Esperanza has about 60 seats under deck (and in the captains cabin) all year round. When the season and weather allows 100 guests can enjoy our food and drink on deck. Wonderful location in the middle of Linköping, with a view of the canal.
