VÄLKOMMEN TILL ESTER KÖK & BAR

ESTER ELLQVIST
1880-1918

The restaurant bears the name in memory of Ester Ellqvist.

The wife of John Bauer, the mother of Bengt ”Putte” Bauer & an artist with great talent.

Correspondence between Ester and John has demonstrated that she

possessed a combination of temper and patience.
This was tried by John's mental problems, which affected the family throughout their life.

These elements made their relationship both stormy and loving.

In the correspondence between Ester and John, she showed a strong will and she was
everything else than calm and submissive. After all, she was his muse and
greatest inspiration for many of his works.

Ester Ellqvist left our earth in 1918 when she and her family were aboard on the steamer
Per Brahe when it was wrecked outside Hästholmen in lake Vättern.
Ester Kök & Bar shares the Family Bauer's fondness to the nature.
John showed Småland´s nature in his magical paintings and we aim that you shall get to
experience that in the food and the drinks. Locally produced and organic ingredients has
been used at the restaurant in a decade, just as long as our
co-operation with Ebbarps Norrgård, located between Forserum & Lekeryd, has lasted.

Through the years, the focus on ecology and locally produced food became larger and 2016
the restaurant did a lot of work that made the restaurant the
first ecolabelled restaurant in Småland.
To further take advantage of the region's products, as well as promoting our various
producers, we are members of the Regional culinary heritage Småland,
and we have an environmental certification through the organization Svensk Miljöbas.
