BRATTEGEN

Bunkhouse
Bunkhouse overlooking Lake Kall. Web site has detailed description and offers on-line booking.

GOTEBORG / GOTHENBURG

Ahlstroms Restaurant
on the pier in Eriksborg
It is really tough to find non-smoking venues (much less smoke free!) in Goteborg. Even the tourist information staff, who are normally very helpful, were at a loss. Our hotel manager (Hotel Eggers) referred us to Ahlstroms. Non-smoking inside dining room. Prices are consistent with quality. We had a fixed price menu for 350SK (about $34 at the time) but it was well worth it. You need to take the ferry from Goteborg; it's a 20 minute ride.
Says the helpful customer who sent the above review:
We have discovered that the nicer restaurants and restaurants in hotels that cater to Americans are usually the most likely candidates for a smoke free meal.

Pavillionen Restaurant
At Langedrag (next to GKSS yacht club)
Cafeteria style with smokefree sections, overlooking the Gothenburg Royal Yacht Club Reasonably priced Swedish food. Most of the place is smoke-free, smoking section partitioned. Outside terrace usually has smokers, but if you're downwind...

KALMAR

Helen & Jorgens Restaurang
around the corner from the Frimurar Hotellet on the town square
A bistro atmosphere with excellent food. Smokers are relegated to an area outside. A fixed price 3-course dinner with a glass of wine is around $33.

LINKÖPING

Steve's Coffee
Ågatan 39     46 (0) 13 37 44 44
Relatively low-priced coffee-house/restaurant with the whole downstairs smoke-free, so one is not bothered by smoke at all there. (sez a satisfied customer)

ORSA/DALARNA

Fryksas Hotell & Gestgifveri
Great view. Great food. No smoking or cell phones allowed in the dining room. Smokers must sit on the porch. Dinner/Breakfast/Room for two was about $145.

STOCKHOLM

VAXHOLM (Stockholm Archipelago)

Vaxholm Hotel
Has a no-smoking section in the restaurant, separated by an air wall, which the head waiter pulled shut at our request. Wonderful seafood, including the local specialty, Baltic Sea herring, which is a menu bargain at about $10. Other seafood is priced like seafood in nicer restaurants in the U.S.
