Omaka is finally open.

In early September it was time for Hedda Spendrup’s Omaka to pull back the curtain and reveal what had been in the works for the last five years. “Ever since the brewery was finalised I have been looking forward to opening the restaurant. Now it’s finally time, I feel incredibly nervous,” says Hedda Spendrup, brewmaster at Omaka. “The aim with the restaurant is to create a place where friends and guests want to hang out all the time, without ever getting tired of it.”

The food is being looked after by Christian Siberg, previously a finalist in the Årets Kock (chef of the year) competition. “My cooking is far from standard fare, which you will see in our menu. Many of our dishes are created to match Omaka’s beers, but Hedda can also brew a beer to match a specific dish. It gives our guests a more interesting and complex experience”.

Omaka is located at Uggelviksgatan 2 in the city centre and is open at night time, Monday through Saturday. Two of Omaka’s beers, Svartskog and Peppar, peppar, have also been released at Systembolaget with a third to follow in October.
