There are 74 active businesses in the category “Restaurant” in Varberg - 19.2 per 10,000 residents.
That is more than similar-sized areas (median 15.8 per 10,000). With the typical density you would expect about 61.
In the last 3 years 16 opened. Not available yet: closures are only known from 4 October 2026.
In the Swedish industry codes (SNI 2025), cafés, pastry shops, pubs, pizzerias, takeaways and restaurants share one code (56.110); only bars that serve drinks alone (56.300) and mobile food stands (56.120) have their own. Businesses with the restaurant code are counted as a café or bar, or as fast food, when their name says so – café, konditori, pub, bar, pizzeria, kebab, burger, takeaway and the like – and the rest as restaurants. The split is therefore approximate.
Compared with Sweden
Restaurant in Varberg against all of Sweden. Annual-report figures are for 2025 (Varbergs kommun), from 54 companies. Survival can't be calculated for Sweden yet: Statistics Sweden's Business Register keeps only some of the older closures, so closures are counted from 4 October 2026, when we started collecting.

Moving in and out
A move is a place of business closing and the same company opening one in another area within 90 days. Chains are left out. A business that moves and keeps its place-of-business number isn't counted here yet, so the real number of moves is higher.
