Leif Mannerström

For more than 40 years of my life I have dedicated myself to food and people. I have managed several restaurants over the years, from the legendary Johanna to Hovås Golf Restaurant.

It has always been my ambition to own a genuine fish and shellfish restaurant in Göteborg, preferably by the water and in a historic setting.
In 1994 I was given the opportunity to take over the Sjömagasinet and did not hesitate. I wanted to create a genuinely friendly restaurant, with plenty of warmth and atmosphere. We would offer our guests everything from a garlic flavoured West Coast fish soup to crisp plaice and classically prepared turbot with horseradish and brown butter.

We select the shellfish each morning from the fish quay that is just 200 metres from here. The dishes are served with love and care, spiced with Göteborg's humour, in a cosy historic setting, where the open fire blazes on cold winter evenings.

As the sun sets over Vinga on a beautiful summer's evening you can really appreciate the sea-fresh prawns on our jetty. With the assistance of my talented colleagues I believe we have succeeded. We look forward to your visit.

Welcome!
