Christmas buffet in Gothenburg at World of Volvo

A Christmas buffet (julbord) should taste of Christmas. Ours does, but the setting is not the usual one: a circular building of mass timber where three tree-like columns carry the entire roof. Here you will find what the Christmas buffet holds, how an evening with live music works and where to book.

Christmas buffet with live music

A Christmas buffet (julbord) should taste of Christmas. Ours does, but the setting is not the usual one: a circular building of mass timber where three tree-like columns carry the entire roof. Here you will find what the Christmas buffet holds, how an evening with live music works and where to book.

Christmas buffet with live music

On selected evenings in December there is a band on stage whilst the julbord is served. Same building, same evening, no moving between dinner and the entertainment.

Which artists play and which dates apply varies from season to season. The current line-up is to be announced.

What is on the table

Classic at heart, with herring and salmon in new flavours alongside everything you expect from a julbord. The kitchen is led by Stefan Karlsson, and the thinking is the same as the rest of the year: Nordic, seasonal, and with the plant-based side as rather more than an afterthought.

There is a full vegetarian julbord for those who want it, and we handle gluten-free and lactose-free. Tell us when you book. The whole menu sits with Ceno.

A Christmas buffet for the company

Bringing a large party? The Event Hall seats 600 guests, and the smaller rooms work for a department that wants the evening to itself. We take everything in between.

Many put the julbord at the end of a working day here. A meeting during the day, Christmas dinner in the evening, all under one roof. See what a conference day with us looks like.

Make an evening of it

The julbord sits in the same building as our exhibition. Walk through Volvo's history first and eat afterwards, and the evening becomes something other than a dinner. This is also the one place where Volvo Cars and Volvo Group meet under one roof, in the city where it all began. Explore the exhibition.

Book your Christmas buffet

The julbord evenings are released during the autumn and the popular dates go first. If you have a larger party or particular requirements, get in touch directly and we will sort it out together.
