Christmas Dinner
Christmas Buffet in Gothenburg
Hotel Riverton serves a Swedish Christmas buffet (Julbord) in Gothenburg in Restaurant ONE on the first floor — a dedicated restaurant designed for both intimate dinners and larger group celebrations. It is one of the few venues in the city combining a full Christmas buffet experience with a flexible event setting and central waterfront location.
From late November to mid-December, we invite you to gather colleagues, friends or family for a festive evening shaped by craftsmanship, atmosphere and attention to detail.
An evening that brings people together
From intimate dinners to larger celebrations
The most appreciated Christmas memories are rarely just about the food — they are created around the table, in conversation, in the atmosphere of the room.
Whether you are joining us as a couple, with friends or as part of a larger group, Restaurant ONE creates a setting where the evening flows naturally — from arrival and mingling to dinner and a relaxed finish. With its calm elegance, generous space and views towards the river, the restaurant offers an experience that feels both effortless and well considered.

Our Christmas buffet
Our Christmas buffet is rooted in Swedish tradition, complemented by carefully selected modern influences. Every dish is prepared from scratch by our chefs, using high-quality seasonal ingredients.
The experience begins with a warm mulled wine reception, followed by a curated selection of traditional favourites and contemporary additions. Guests often move between the buffet and the table at their own pace — creating a relaxed rhythm to the evening, whether you are enjoying a quiet dinner or celebrating together with a larger party.
The experience concludes with coffee and a generous dessert table.
