Charles Emils

Östergötland Museum’s very own restaurant!

Welcome to Charles Emils!

Charles Emils serves everything from daily lunches to Viljans ice cream and delightful pastries. Whether you’re enjoying a glass of wine or a cup of coffee, you’ll be surrounded by an ambiance steeped in art, culture, and local history.

Named after the renowned physician and author Charles Emil Hagdahl, the Östergötland Museum restaurant celebrates his legacy. Hagdahl authored The Art of Cooking as Science and Art, a cookbook that deeply influenced Swedish households in the late 1800s. His generous bequest of his art collection laid the foundation for much of the museum’s current collection.

Charles Emils is an integral part of the museum, blending its culinary offerings with cultural programs for a well-rounded experience. This synergy also allows for a variety of event bookings, such as conferences or creative after-work gatherings. The restaurant is fully licensed.

During the summer, the museum’s rooftop terrace is open, offering a bar with refreshing drinks, pastries, great coffee, light dishes, and Italian ice cream. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy delicious treats with the best view in town.
