Dining in Stockholm

Stockholm is nowadays a 'restaurant town' to be reckoned with. It has developed from one offering dreary, traditional and unappetising fare into a city of international cuisine. The most typical thing about Stockholm cuisine today is that, like Stockholmers themselves, it quickly adopts new trends and then admixes influences from around the world to create individualistic recipes.

Mistral
The small luxury restaurant Mistral prides itself on its one star in the Guide Rouge. The menu provides excursions into gastronomy's remotest but most interesting areas. Booking a table as far in advance as possible is a must.

Lux
On the island of Lilla Essingen, a short taxi ride from the city centre, lies the prize-winning restaurant Lux. As the name suggests, it offers first rate cuisine and is not for those with thin wallets. But the food is praised by critics and public alike. Book a table.

Eriks Gondolen
If you say that the view is fantastic, it sounds as though the cooking might be inferior. This is certainly not the case here. Restaurateur Erik Lallerstedt attracts a high-class clientele from among business people and young, trend-sensitive Stockholmers. Perfect for a finer lunch or just awell-mixed drink.

Grill Ruby
A meat restaurant in the American style. Grilled meat, spicy sausages and scrambled eggs are among the favourite dishes. Its décor with beautiful stone vaulting create an agreeable ambience which attracts regulars as well as new patrons.
Address: Österlånggatan 14

Kjellsons
Simple and good food in the middle of the city. Customers relax in the nineteen-fifties ambience here for just a coffee or a full blow-out.
Address: Birger Jarlsgatan 36

Teatergrillen (Theatre Grill)
As the name indicates, this was earlier a home for actors. Those who are seen and want to be seen come and eat here before they move on to the bar at Riche just around the corner. The food is as excellent as the celebrity factor is high.
Address: Nybrogatan 3

Wärdshuset Ulla Winbladh
Djurgården's best restaurant is a classic and a perfect way to start or round off a stroll. The clientele ranges from those who have eaten Sunday lunch here for the last thirty years to young people who have only recently discovered this gem. Traditional Swedish dishes within a wide price spectrum.

Exciting décor and menu with five taste categories: light, nature, ocean, meat and sweet. Sometimes elite chefs are invited from around the world, and celebrities create their own menus.
