Christmas Feast in the palace
Swedish Julbord at Dicksonska Palatset
During the winter season, the grand banquet floor of Dicksonska Palatset is transformed into a festive Christmas setting, where the historic rooms are filled with the aromas, flavours and atmosphere of a traditional Swedish Christmas. Under the direction of Gustav Trägårdh, a classic Christmas buffet is presented, featuring essential dishes such as pickled herring, meatballs, Janssons frestelse and Christmas ham, served from lunch through late evening.
The Christmas buffet has been a tribute to Swedish holiday cuisine, where time honoured traditions have met Gustav Trägårdh’s own culinary expression. The result was a buffet that honoured the familiar while also offering unexpected elements, and one that, according to feedback from previous guests, was highly appreciated.
The experience is set within the magnificent surroundings of Dicksonska Palatset, where history and atmosphere become a natural part of the meal. A place where Christmas celebrations are given room to unfold, both in flavour and in setting.
