OUR STORY and the people behind it
– Our journey began 2013
That’s when we opened our first restaurant in Jönköping, Anne’s Husman AB.
At the time, Anne had worked for ten years as a head chef but felt it was time to stand on her own.
David, who had previously run businesses in other industries, is a trained sommelier with a lifelong passion for food and fine drinks. Together, they found common ground and embarked on a gastronomic journey.
From a small family business to a growing enterprise
Well-prepared lunches in general – and traditional Swedish home-cooked meals in particular – have always been close to their hearts. They also turned their ideas about ingredients into reality: all food is made with 100% Swedish meat, which quickly proved to be a recipe for success.
Today, we run three restaurants
When Vesterbrunn Brasserie & Bar opened its doors in 2021, the idea of an evening restaurant serving dishes made exclusively with local ingredients had taken root with Anne and David.
Together with our team, they shaped a unique concept that lives and evolves every day — the very essence of Vesterbrunn!
David and Anne pick, grow, and refine many of the ingredients that make Vesterbrunn truly unique.
Today, our restaurants employ more than 20 people, and within our small group, we can offer almost everything in the restaurant world — from coffee and breakfast to lunch, tasting menus, and wine tastings.
VESTERBRUNN - A NAME WITH HISTORY
The name Vesterbrunn is not new. It has existed in the area around Southern Munksjön for several hundred years. As early as the 18th century, the healing properties of the water were discovered. A natural health spring was found, and locals from Jönköping would come here to “drink the spring,” as they called it back then.
Now, several hundred years later, we are bringing the name Vesterbrunn back to life. The spring itself is gone, and the water may not be quite as healing anymore. But the idea of a lively gathering place is more relevant than ever.
The location was known not only for its restorative qualities but also as a natural meeting place where people came together, talked, and enjoyed life.
MEET THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE EXPERIENCE
Behind the plates, the glasses, and the evening’s service is a team that shares a simple philosophy: to create something genuine.
We care deeply about our local producers, take the time to get to know every ingredient, and strive to highlight flavors with care. But most importantly, we want you to feel welcome.
We warmly invite you to meet us.
