Floda is a small beautiful village in Western Sweden. It is located on the Floda River, and is known for its fishing and hiking along the river, the lake, and in the surrounding forests.
The hiking trail Gotaleden which stretches from Gothenburg to Alingsås passes through Floda. There are also several top-class restaurants even though it is a small town, the most famous being Garveriet and Jernbruket.
Floda is quite a gem! It is a small village about 30 minutes outside Gothenburg. You can get here with very frequent commuter trains, car or even on foot. The first time I went here it was on a hike from Gothenburg to Alingsås along the "Gotaleden" trail. Highly recommended!
Floda is one of my favorite villages due to the beautiful surroundings with nice old building, great nature walks in the forest along the river, and shockingly good food thanks to Jernbruket and Garveriet. The only reason I did not give Floda 5 stars for food is that there are only a few restaurants, but the quality of those restaurants is exceptional. I have had some great fika and breakfast at Garveriet. But Jernbruket is the crown jewel. Jernbruket is the single best meat restaurant I have been to anywhere in Sweden. I love their steak, I love their burgers, I love their heavy baked cheesecake for dessert.
Go here. Enjoy nature for a bit. And then you MUST eat at Jernbruket.
