about the project

Green and delicious from the Voltaire family

On the fifth floor of Kulturhuset at Sergels Torg in Stockholm, the next generation of Voltaire — Lotta together with her daughters Iris and Malva — has moved in with their new restaurant, Dotter Voltaire, where a green food philosophy meets music and culture. Here, guests are served a daily lunch, an à la carte menu, as well as a selection of hearty sandwiches, salads, and a children’s menu available throughout the day. Coffee and pastries are baked on site, using as large a proportion of organic ingredients as possible. The venue also includes Blå Baren and Ateljén, which can be rented for events or larger groups tailored to guests’ needs, as well as catering based on the same concept. In May, an additional bar and the rooftop terrace will open, where the restaurant’s offerings can be enjoyed under the open sky above Stockholm’s most central meeting place. Kulturhuset has undergone extensive renovations in recent years, and with the new restaurant now in place, the building feels more complete than ever.

We are incredibly happy with our collaboration with Perfecta in building our kitchen, bar, and serving line. Their attentiveness and “everything can be solved” mindset made the process both smooth and enjoyable - and the result is fully tailored to our needs. We truly look forward to a long-term partnership as we continue our expansion journey.

the equipment

Display counters and smart workflow

For Dotter Voltaire, we were entrusted with the exciting assignment of delivering equipment and machinery for the serving area, kitchen, bar, and dishwashing room. Along the long serving line, there are two display counters with glass domes mounted directly onto the countertop — the one at the salad station features a refrigerated top. The front countertop was welded on site into one continuous piece running the entire length of the line and includes built-in refrigerated wells for soft drinks as well as raised refrigerated troughs for preparing salads and other dishes.

All refrigeration units are from Haglund Industri, with refrigerated counters available both in stainless steel design and customized to be clad in joinery facing the guest area. The line also includes a Porkka warming cabinet with humidity control to prevent food from drying out during hot holding, as well as a Menumaster microwave. Additional equipment includes an ice machine from Manitowoc, an undercounter freezer from Gram, a Crem EX3 espresso machine with grinder, and a filter coffee brewer from Bonamat. Above the cashier station, a custom-made shelf in glass and stainless steel is suspended for wine display and glass storage.

In the kitchen, ovens from Rational were installed, along with a tilting kettle on wheels from Jöni, an induction range and griddle from Fribergs, and a fryer from FriFri. The mixer is from Varimixer, and the refrigerators and freezers are from Haglund Industri.In the dishwashing area, both a hood-type dishwasher and a utensil washer from Wexiödisk were installed. We also supplied shelving systems for the cold room and storage areas.

How do you choose the right combi oven for a restaurant or commercial kitchen?

The right combi oven should be chosen based on your kitchen’s capacity, menu, workflow and available space. Also consider features such as automatic cleaning, cooking programmes, energy consumption, and access to service and spare parts. For larger kitchens, several ovens in different sizes may be a better solution than one large oven.

Can Perfecta supply and install a complete restaurant kitchen?

Yes. Perfecta can supply complete restaurant kitchens with professional kitchen equipment, stainless steel furnishings, refrigeration, dishwashing equipment and ventilation, as well as coordinate assembly and installation. We work together with the customer, kitchen consultant and other project partners throughout the process – from planning and equipment selection to delivery, installation and commissioning.

What equipment does a café need?

The equipment should be tailored to the café’s menu, capacity and concept. Typically, a café needs an espresso machine and coffee grinder, refrigeration equipment, a dishwasher, an oven or high-speed oven, food preparation equipment, and refrigerated or ambient display cases. Cafés with their own food or bakery production often require a more complete kitchen tailored to their operation.

What equipment is needed in a restaurant kitchen?

It depends on the restaurant’s menu, capacity and workflow. Most restaurant kitchens need equipment for cooking, refrigeration and freezing, food preparation, dishwashing and storage. Ventilation, fire suppression systems and grease separators also need to be considered.

How much does it cost to build a restaurant kitchen?

The cost of a restaurant kitchen varies considerably depending on the size of the kitchen, its capacity, the menu and the choice of equipment. In addition to the kitchen equipment, you also need to consider costs for ventilation, fire suppression systems, installations and grease separators.
