Update, May 27, 2024: Vyn Restaurant received 2 Michelin stars.
Michelin states that for a restaurant to earn three stars, it must offer “exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.” Nothing could be truer about Daniel Berlin’s new chapter when he created the restaurant Vyn between the small fishing villages Skillinge and Brantevik in the very south of Sweden.
We felt incredibly fortunate to secure a reservation for the grand opening. As we stepped into the restaurant, we were stunned by the restaurant’s beauty, flabbergasted by the food presented. How could this be the first day, yet the kitchen and service were flawless? It was as if they had been working together for years.
Langoustine gently cooked in brown butter.
What stands out at Vyn is, of course, the food. The journey began with a tantalizing snack – lightly cured Jim pike perch, a divine introduction to the culinary adventure. Followed up with warmed king crab, pork cheek, and local saffron hiding beneath its plate was Kalix löjrom, accompanied by caramelized celeriac scented with verbena.
And this was just the beginning. In total, we were treated to 18 delicious dishes.
What truly distinguishes Daniel Berlin—and sets Vyn apart from other restaurants—is how his personal passion elevates the entire experience. It is not just about culinary perfection, it is about the heart and soul he pours into every dish. In our view, a restaurant can be excellent, but it becomes legendary only when the chef’s presence and dedication are felt in every bite.
It’s worth noting that Vyn Restaurant hasn’t earned any Michelin stars—yet!
