The restaurants at vidhave
meals served on the beach
All year round
Welcome to Vidhaves year-round restaurant.
We’d love to be your neighborhood restaurant by the sea. Stop by after a walk, a dip in the cold water, or a sauna—or just for a hassle-free lunch or dinner. Sometimes on the beach, sometimes inside the warmth of the Orangery. We cook everything from scratch, keep it simple, and let the ingredients speak for themselves. Drop by whenever it suits you—book a table if you want to be sure of a spot.

Summer
Welcome back in 2027. Feel free to visit the Orangery in the meantime!
This is where the sea, good food, and summer come together—without any of them having to take a back seat. The veranda is a relaxed gathering place for families, friends, and anyone who wants to let a Gotland summer day unfold at its own pace.
We used to be called Snack Mat Bad, and that spirit lives on. Same beach, same love for simple, well-prepared food.

Barbecue Night on the Beach
As the sun begins to set over the sea, the grill comes to life. Every evening during the height of summer, we set up a buffet where freshly grilled food takes center stage. The buffet table takes shape around the grill. A wide selection of sides—salads, vegetables, bread, sauces, and flavorful accompaniments. Everything is carefully planned; there’s something for everyone in the group, even those who are a bit more picky.
Our House Buffet
2026: June 21 – August 23, Mon–Wed and Fri–Sun
Every evening except Thursdays, we serve our house buffet straight from the grill. Swedish beef, pork, chicken, and sausages are carved right at the grill—and next to them, we serve flavorful grilled vegetables for those who prefer to focus on the greens. The side dish table is generously stocked and fills the rest of your plate. Price: 395 SEK
(children under 11 years old 195 SEK, under 4 years old free)
Vegetarian option: Three to four vegetables are served hot straight from the grill, and the buffet features over 20 vegetarian sides and sauces. We also offer grilled halloumi as an alternative if you’re not eating meat—please let us know when you’re served.
Whole Roasted Lamb - Thursdays
2026: June 25 – August 13, Thursdays
On Thursdays, we start as early as the afternoon. The lamb is slow-cooked over glowing coals, seasoned with local herbs—feel free to stop by and watch it come together. At the buffet, you’ll find several traditional dishes: roasts, sausages, and the juicy, whole-roasted lamb taking center stage. Please feel free to take a seat. 595 SEK
(children under 11: 195 SEK, under 4: free)
P.S. Be sure to finish with a saffron pancake
Alternatives to lamb: We also have chicken on the grill, and upon request, the lamb can be replaced with hot-smoked salmon or halloumi—just let us know when we serve you.
Brunch Buffet - Saturdays
2026: June 25 – August 13
The best breakfast/lunch/snack of the summer? Served in the middle of the day, with no rush. Every Saturday starting on Midsummer’s Day, we set out a generous brunch buffet on the Veranda, where breakfast classics meet lunch halfway. Here you’ll find hot and cold, sweet and savory. Freshly baked pancakes, scrambled eggs and omelets, mini sausages, toast, bagels, and much more. A variety of flavors for a visit you’ll want to linger over. 375 SEK
(children under 11 years old 195 SEK, under 4 years old free)
