Ceno Brasserie

Ceno is latin and means “I dine”. “Dine” is english and means “feasting for the taste buds with delightful company in a magical building”, at least if we get to decide. As a restaurant in the World of Volvo experience center, Ceno Brasserie provides guests and visitors with good food under the direction of star chef Stefan Karlsson.

Lorensbergs Fisk & Bar

On the corner at Berzeliigatan 5 is the fish and shellfish restaurant Lorensbergs Fisk & Bar. Next to the restaurant part there is also a fish shop where you can buy fine ingredients from the sea to take home with you. The idea behind the restaurant and the shop was to make seafood more accessible to residents, workers and visitors in the neighbourhood. Lorensbergs Fisk & Bar offers, of course, fresh fish and the many delicacies of the sea, but also other nice things that goes well with fish and seafood.
