Sociéten Hjo
Welcome to Café Societé 1878
– A place for taste, style and grand moments –

In the heart of the beautiful, leafy Hjo City Park, overlooking the glistening waters of Lake Vättern, lies one of Sweden's most romantic oases: Café Societé 1878. Here, history meets the present in a unique setting where French 1930s style defines both the décor and atmosphere.
In our café and wine bar, we serve classics like our beloved shrimp sandwiches, pizzas, grilled sandwiches, pies and pastries, along with a carefully curated selection of wines and gin – but best of all, our ice cream bar, where Lejonet och Björnen fulfils all your ice cream dreams.





Daytime – a place for calm & delight
Settle in among flourishing flowers and delicate charm, let time stand still and savour the good life. Whether you're strolling through the park, planning a picnic or simply seeking a pause – Café Societé is a place for memories.
