Orangeriet Restaurant
at Norrviken Gardens
PEARL OF THE BJÄRE PENINSULA
Our Orangeriet Restaurant is situated within Norrvikens Trädgårdar – the stunning formal gardens created by Rudolf Abelin, who came to Båstad in 1906 to create his dream of a “living garden museum”. Abelin drew inspiration wherever he travelled, particularly in Europe. Norrvikens Trädgårdar is now a national treasure that will soon be celebrating its 100th anniversary as a public park. In 2013, the site was purchased by five gentlemen, led by successful businessman Erik Paulsson.
Following extensive renovation, restoration and development work, Norrviken reopened in the summer of 2015. Norrviken has been owned 100% by Backahill since 2018. Each year, the gardens reach new heights, and the aim is to be ranked as one of Europe’s most beautiful and well-tended parks. Scandinavian Resorts is taking over operation of the restaurant business on 1 January 2021. The Orangeriet Restaurant is an experience for all the senses, serving up lovingly prepared dishes that showcase the best regional ingredients. Orangeriet is also one of Sweden’s most attractive party venues, and together with Norrviken we organise private functions and corporate events, not to mention as many as 50-70 weddings each year.
