about the project

Steakhouse and bar on the top floor

On Södra Hamngatan in Gothenburg, a new building has risen where Restaurant Johanna sits like a jewel on the top floor, overlooking the city rooftops. The name is directly inherited from Leif Mannerström and Crister Svantesson’s legendary Restaurant Johanna, which opened in the same neighbourhood in 1974.

Head chef Alexander Stärnerz explains that the heart of the kitchen is the large wood-fired grill, where meat, fish, vegetables and seafood are cooked over an open flame. At the bar, there is a particular focus on different types of martinis.

Behind Johanna is Stureplansgruppen, Sweden’s largest privately owned hospitality group, with operations spanning hotels, restaurants, events, conferences, bars and nightclubs.

Perfecta is a reliable company that has a good personal commitment and delivers on its promises regarding deliveries and prices. We can trust that it will always result in a good outcome.

the equipment

Dry-aging cabinet and parrilla grill

In Johanna’s dining room, one of the first things you notice is the red-lacquered dry-aging cabinet for meat and fish, manufactured by Haglund Industri. Haglund also supplied the matching red refrigerated counter, as well as the other stainless-steel refrigerated counters for the kitchen and bar.

The open kitchen is centred around an impressive wood-fired charcoal grill from Phoenix Prime Focus, alongside a cooking suite from Palux and combi ovens from Rational. The stainless-steel, titanium-reinforced pass features an integrated hotplate from Stayhot. The bar was fitted with custom-made stainless-steel furnishings from Novameta.

In the dishwashing area, a WD-8 pot washer from Wexiödisk is complemented by a PT-M hood-type dishwasher and UC-M glasswasher from Winterhalter. The prep kitchen was equipped with induction cooking from Fribergs, an oven from Rational and a mixing machine from Agrenco.

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.
