What should I order at Stiftsgården?

Stiftsgården is best known for its lunch buffet and salad bar, with reviewers repeatedly praising the high quality of the food and the lakefront setting in Rättvik. The combination of self-service meals, generous portions, and views over Lake Siljan is a major reason people recommend it.

Reviewers specifically highlight the salad bar, pickled herrings, roast beef, and the lunch buffet. They also mention that the food is delicious and that guests can go back for seconds, which adds to the appeal of the meal service.

The atmosphere is quiet, scenic, and relaxed, with gardens leading down to the lake and views of Lake Siljan from rooms and shared spaces like the library. It suits people looking for a calm stay, including groups, couples, and solo travelers who want a restful setting rather than a busy hotel scene.

At about $211, Stiftsgården is described by reviewers as great value, especially for lunch and the overall stay. Guests say the meals are excellent and the buffet is worth the price, while the clean rooms, breakfast, and lake views add to the value.

Reviewers note that Stiftsgården is about a 25-minute walk to the center of Rättvik, passing the camping ground and reaching Storgatan. That makes it a good choice if you want a lakefront stay but still want access to the town center on foot.
