In Örsundaån's beautiful river valley, just outside Fjärdhundra, lies Forsby. In one of the village's old mills, Ibba Andersson and Staffan Larson run a cafe and restaurant with high quality ambitions and great personality. You can sit outside by the mill pond and listen to the sound of the rapids, or in the quiet indoors in Öfre Kaffesalongen.
On Saturdays and Sundays, Ibba fills the old Forsby Bakery's stand with delicious pies, tarts, lemon buns, brownies, shortbread cakes with fillings and other goodies. If you want something more substantial, choose "Sovel med bröd", which is Staffan's lighter, but very sophisticated, dishes; such as home-engraved salmon with pea pesto and green salad, or country pate with pickled red onion and pickled cucumber.
If you are a large group (i.e. more than 8 people) on a bicycle, moped, motorcycle or car, Ibba & Staffan want you to notify at least one week in advance to 0703-79 80 99 so that they can provide the best service.
In the summer of 2025, their son Albin, who has worked as a chef in London for the past 5 years, will open a pop-up restaurant "Mat på Kvarn" on Friday evenings where he offers a menu of 4-5 dishes prepared with, as far as possible, local ingredients in season. Follow Albin's Instagram account @adishisborn, where many of his delicious dishes have been featured before.
To book a table for "Mat på kvarn", send an SMS to 070 3798099.
