Mårtengås is in town

Every year the Grand Hôtel celebrates the seasons and traditional festivities with different themed menus at the Veranda restaurant. In November, it’s time for the traditional Scanian Mårtengås or St. Martin’s day feast, with the Veranda offering a classic three-course goose dinner from November 7-10.

Mårtengås is being celebrated from November 7-10 at the Veranda with a classic goose dinner. According to tradition this starts with black soup with giblets, followed by roast goose with red cabbage, and finishing up with a dessert of warm apple cake and vanilla sauce. Not only a Swedish tradition, traditional goose feasts are celebrated in a similar manner throughout Europe, in particular in Germany and France.

“Mårtengås is a fine Scanian tradition that we really enjoy celebrating. Festivities such as Mårtengås tend to be out shadowed by other more prominent festivities. But at the Veranda we like to make room for more such traditions,” says Pia Djupmark, CEO, Grand Hôtel.
