Local Cuisine

A local explosion of flavor

Umeå is a fantastic city for exploring a range of culinary experiences! Most of the restaurants, regardless of focus, utilize fresh local produce, including wild game such as reindeer, moose, and venison; fresh fish including char, whitefish, and whitefish roe; and delectable local berries, including wild blueberries, lingonberries and arctic raspberries.

Västerbottensost (delicious cheese from the region), Vindelnrökt (smoked pork and ham from local producers), Brännlands Iscider (an “ice” cider dessert wine), and the refreshing craft soda Hjortrongranat ("cloudberry grenade") from the multiartist Marc UÅ are just some examples of popular products from our region.
