Reviews
My wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary at Restaurant Uleåborg 1881 and were absolutely blown away. The food was incredible — I can't remember the last time I enjoyed such an amazing meal. And the sommelier's wine pairings were spot on. The charming atmosphere and genuinely friendly service made the night truly special.
I've eaten at my fair share of 'fancy' restaurants that promise a lot but fall short. Not the case at all with Restaurant Uleåborg 1881! From start to finish, my entire birthday dinner was sheer perfection. The dishes were works of edible art using local ingredients, the wine enhanced each bite, and the staff made us feel so welcomed. I can't wait to return!
From locally-sourced caviar to succulent reindeer to the freshest whitefish plucked from the Gulf of Bothnia that very morning — this was Nordic cuisine at its finest! And the wine list is extraordinary with bottles from small producers around the world. The setting is equally gorgeous in a historic seaside warehouse. Just a phenomenal dining experience in every way.
