I started off at the salad bar which filled me up and as good as the fish was I was stuffed. This is a new hotel/restaurant as most things seem to be in the area.

This is a summer classic with the samples of pickled herring known as "sill" served with fresh…read morepotatoes, dill, onions, sour cream, hard cheese, and butter with hardbread. They refill the little pots as often as you want so you will get full. Each year there is a new flavor and this year with coconut and lemon grass was quite good. This little town produces the most sill in the country and Swedish tourists come to buy and try the sill. The restaurant has a small number of hotel rooms for those wanting a little romantic b&b experience. We have come here 2 years in a row now because our sailboat was harbored just on the other side of the bridge, Mossholmen and a pleasant walk away. Ot kind of reminds me of Tiberon, where boats can pull up at the cay and you can hop off for a lunch and then back on again to put out to the next port. They have a decent selection of local brews as well and you can order fresh fish done in traditional ways. Everything traditional is done well. The forays into non traditional Swedish home cooking are not as successful and I would recommend avoiding. The view is fantastic, the atmosphere is just posh enough but not too stuffy. The wine selection was quite good to accompany seafood dishes.

Not enough words can be used to describe the natural wonders of Bohuslän coast, Marstrand island is…read morethe fairest of them all. Knowing it's a short 45-minute scenic drive from Gothenburg, we jumped at the opportunity to make a day trip, and what a glorious day it was. Carlsteen Fortress, along with boating culture and royal history, is what Marstrand is known for. The massive stone fortress sits atop the rocky island. It took more than 200 years to build, and was in use by the military as recent as 1990's. A guided tour is highly recommended so you can learn other fascinating stories about this fortress. Give yourself plenty of time to explore, as they are many rooms to check out and lots of climbing. The roof-top view is magnificent, those white and pastel blue, yellow, green wooden buildings start at the sea level and climb up towards the Fortress. During sailing season, imagine a view of hundreds of yachts taking part in the many international regattas here. If you happen to chat with a local (they are friendly), they are very proud of their boat (usually. boats). A must-visit. Bring you camera. This place is as pretty-as-a-postcard.

From what I saw it was massive and parts of the stones were taken to build homes surrounding the area before they decided to preserve the history. If I ever find myself here again I would take more time to explore.
