Charlottenberg is not just Sweden's hottest cross-border shopping destination – it is also an excellent place for good, affordable food. With over ten restaurants and eateries in and around the shopping centre, there is something for everyone: a quick lunch between shops, a family-friendly buffet, American-inspired steak and burgers, or a more relaxed dinner. Many Norwegian and Swedish visitors combine bargain hunting with a meal break – and it is often significantly cheaper than back home in Norway, especially for meat, burgers and pizza. Lochlann Steakhouse stands out as one of the most appreciated spots for quality and atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed evening.
