Top chef Daniel Berlin’s new masterpiece Vyn Restaurant has received two stars in the prestigious MICHELIN Guide, a testament to his world-class gastronomy. But there is more awaiting guests at this culinary destination, including the intimate Food & Wine Bar, the chambre séparée Atelier, and the cosy boutique hotel.
On the south-eastern tip of Sweden, a former farmhouse has quickly become one of the world’s top restaurants. Opened at the end of 2023 by one of Sweden’s most prominent chefs, Daniel Berlin, Vyn Restaurant is a thrilling fine dining experience with the best that the Scandinavian pantry has to offer.
Just six months after its opening, Vyn received two stars by MICHELIN Guide. It has since also been awarded Opening of the Year by La Liste, and featured in “World’s Greatest Places of 2024 – 100 extraordinary destinations to explore” by TIME Magazine. Impressively, Vyn has also reached 47th place on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, with part of the motivation reading; “It’s a place to relax, immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, and enjoy life.”
Top gastronomic destination
A world-class culinary experience awaits, no doubt. But Berlin strives for Vyn to be something more; a gastronomic destination, a magical meeting between the location and the food. “Vyn reflects our DNA, something that you will feel when you come and eat here,” he says. “It’s a presence, of the location mixed with our experience and culinary expression.”

The menu reflects the setting, featuring local produce, game and seafood from Skåne and Scandinavia, paired with the best ingredients of the season. “We take inspiration from the surroundings – the forests, the fields, the sea. It’s a larder we know like the back of our hand,” says Berlin. “Many ingredients are grown on-site in our garden, others are sourced from Skåne’s great farmers and producers, or foraged and hunted by myself and the team.”
The winter menu embraces the season’s richness, with root vegetables, orchard fruit, game, and the first frost-kissed greens taking centre stage – an invitation to gather, pause, and celebrate the closing of the year. “As always, we want our guests to feel the seasons on the plate,” says Berlin. “One of our signature dishes is scallops, served steaming hot and freezing cold – two worlds assembled on a plate.”
Interior echoing the elements
Perched on a hill with a view of the sea, the renovated farmhouse has been transformed into a restaurant with a luxurious but tasteful ambience. With the help of local designers and true craftsmanship, the result is a beautiful and serene environment with natural colours and materials reflecting what is outside the window. The restaurant is in fact named after its panoramic views, vyn meaning the view in Swedish.
Österlen is where sea meets land, an area ideal for peaceful exploration. You can go hiking along the coastline, relax on white sandy beaches, and discover quaint villages. “The location is fantastic. Grounded in rural roots, yet open to the horizon, this place holds something quietly powerful. The salty air, rich soil, and shifting winds made it easy for us to imagine a future here,” says Berlin. “Now we want our guests to get a sense of that unique setting.”
Food & Wine Bar, Atelier and Hotel
In addition to the signature restaurant, Vyn houses the intimate Food & Wine Bar, which tempts with lighter seasonal dishes. “In our Food & Wine Bar, we serve food made with the same ingredients as in the restaurant, often with a seasonal theme, but prepared in a slightly different way,” says Berlin. With a more casual vibe, the Food & Wine Bar is also more accessible, often with tables available for drop-in.
Guests can also pay a visit to the greenhouse turned cocktail bar. The Greenhouse (Växthuset) is the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail or two before the meal, or savour a final glass as the evening winds down.
Upstairs, under the eaves in the old farmhouse, is the elegant chambre séparée Atelier. Here, guests can indulge in a bespoke dining experience. The private dining room seats up to 25 guests, ideal for companies or groups looking to host inspirational meetings and conferences, memorable celebrations and family gatherings, events, tastings, and more.
Next to Vyn sits a small boutique hotel with 15 rooms including two suites, where guests can enjoy a peaceful stay whilst exploring the area. “We’re happy to be able to offer our guests the chance to stay the night, not only making Vyn about the food but about the whole experience,” adds Berlin. “Here, you can pause and catch your breath, it’s a place you’ll want to come back to.”
