The Søvengård cooks the New Nordic movement through a West Michigan pantry | seasonal, local, fermented, and precise. Grand Rapids Magazine named it Restaurant of the Year in 2025, and the room has carried the momentum since.

Dinner runs Sunday through Thursday 4 to 9, Friday and Saturday 4 to 10, at 1232 Bridge Street NW. The biergarten out back is one of the best outdoor rooms in the city when the weather cooperates.
