History

Filip and Daniel Guven's love of food goes back a long way.
They grew up with the scent of their family's restaurants and learned the craft from scratch at an early age. As teenagers, they were already involved in developing the family business. Filip was in the kitchen, learning how to handle ingredients and how to prepare really good food. Daniel took care of the dining room and learned how to create a top-class guest experience - from arrival to departure.

That's where their passion for the restaurant life was born, just like their parents. But Filip and Daniel wanted to take it a step further. In 2010, they took over the classic Stockholm restaurant Prinsen from celebrity chef Peter Nordin. The goal was to preserve the historical heritage, but at the same time renew the dining experience, and the result was a success. Just eight months after the brothers put their stamp on Prinsen, they were offered a partnership by Peter Nordin. This laid the foundation for what is now the Brasserie Group.

More classic restaurants followed - Zink, East, Wienercaféet and Villa Godthem, among others. Together, they developed the guest experience and improved the food craft, side by side.

They soon realized that high standards require a strong team. So they started recruiting some of Stockholm's most passionate foodies. When Peter Nordin chose to leave the group in 2017, to realize his dream of hotel and restaurant life in Italy, the brothers continued the development.

In 2019, the group underwent a major transformation to optimize its entire business. In connection with this, they changed their name - from PDF Brasserie Group to the more accessible Brasserie Group.

There's a lot of excitement around the corner and the Brasserie Group continues to grow and develop with the same passion as ever!
