Nestled in the heart of Lyrestad, Sweden, Ambacht is more than just a food truck—it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, flavour, and tradition. Founded by the passionate duo Gunnar and Bianca, Ambacht brings a unique culinary experience to the road, serving handcrafted dishes made with the finest ingredients and a deep respect for artisanal cooking.
A Philosophy Rooted in Craftsmanship
The name Ambacht—Dutch for craftsmanship—perfectly encapsulates the philosophy behind this culinary venture. Every dish is created from scratch using time-honoured techniques, ensuring that each bite is rich in flavour and authenticity. From the careful selection of local ingredients to the meticulous preparation process, Gunnar and Bianca embody the artistry of small-scale, handcrafted cooking.
At Ambacht, food is not just about sustenance—it’s about storytelling. Each recipe reflects a commitment to quality, heritage, and seasonality, with menus that evolve to highlight the best of what nature provides. Whether it’s a comforting slow-cooked stew, a freshly baked artisan bread, or a vibrant seasonal dish, everything served from the truck is a testament to the beauty of simple, honest food.
From a Winter Haven to a Moving Feast
During the winter months, Ambacht’s food truck finds its home near Lyrestad, where locals can enjoy hearty, homemade take-away meals that warm both the body and the soul. The team also participates in REKO-rings, a Nordic farm-to-table initiative that connects consumers directly with local food producers. For these gatherings, Ambacht prepares a selection of special baked goods, showcasing their passion for traditional, handcrafted treats.
When spring arrives, the food truck sets off on a new adventure, bringing its culinary expertise to markets, festivals, and events across Sweden. Each stop is an opportunity to share their love of food with a wider audience, introducing new flavours while preserving the authenticity that defines Ambacht’s approach.
