Ester Kök & Bar is named after John Bauer's wife Ester Ellqvist, who was also a talented artist. There are several love letters that show that Ester and John had a very stormy relationship. She was an cheerful city person, he was a gifted forest romantic. The restaurant shares the Bauer family's love of nature. In the paintings, we can see Småland's nature and forests, and we aim for you to experience that it in the food and drinks. We always serve a seasonal menu prepared from scratch with locally produced and organic ingredients.
The picture shows a self-portrait of Ester Ellqvist.
