The house used to be the residence of the director-general of the state railroad, but is now entirely and successfully transformed into a multi-room restaurant where you easily will find yourself comfortably serviced by the staff and what they offer. The food is great, french inspired, so is the wine list, a bit short of Italian wines, and all a bit expensive, but you will survive.

No tables, etc were ready at arrival (the waitresses just seemed to be arriving at work). Took a long time to get any drinks. Food were scarce and everyone ate more lunch when getting back to the office. McDonalds has better service. A huge dissappoipntment.

Housed in what looks like a small castle on a hill overlooking Filipstad and the colorful ferries on E18, the building was once the home of the state railway's general director. Now converted into a multi-room restaurant, they offer personalized service and delicious French-inspired cuisine. The wine list is also impressive, though a bit lacking in Italian selections. While prices may be on the higher side, the overall experience is well worth it. This restaurant is sure to thrive despite the costs.
