The best restaurants Stockholm

If you're looking for authentic Swedish cuisine right in the heart of Gamla Stan, look no further - you've come to the right place! The restaurant is housed in a beautiful ^18th-century building, and the lamps are even original. Very good value for money for the area, especially if you opt for a lunch break where you can enjoy a cold buffet, cranberry juice and unlimited coffee in addition to your main course. A great way to treat yourself without breaking the bank, and one of the places you won't want to miss!

With a view on the water, Glashuset or "Glass House", is a restaurant located along Strandvägen, with a terrace open all year long. The place also hosts festive parties, such as DJ nights! A good address to have a drink in the sun with a view of Stockholm, or to enjoy their simple and good dishes. Social atmosphere for a good quality food, like a good brasserie!

This upscale restaurant, located in the Grand Hôtel, is notably famous for having welcomed celebrities such as Grace Kelly and Greta Garbo. Why go here?

Shogun is an Asian restaurant with a blend of influences. It offers a dim sum menu as well as a Japanese menu, two highly refined culinary styles well implemented by their cuisine. If you're not familiar with dim sum, it's a meal originating in the Canton region that consists of sharing a series of different small dishes. Some would say that Shogun is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Sweden. You can also have Japanese menus such as tempura or sukiyaki. A good address for Asian delights.

Between the archipelago, the recycling, the interior design and the food, this restaurant has everything in one. Josefin Arrhénborg and Maria Rindstam first founded the establishment to recycle boats in order to prevent environmental damage to the archipelago. Six years later, they opened the café-restaurant, which today is a very popular place among the locals. The interior is full of character and the food is excellent.

A lovely address for Indian cuisine just off Medborgarplatsen, set in a quiet (too quiet?) but very pleasant location. The restaurant is laid out lengthways, and on weekend evenings, it's not unusual for Indian musicians to liven things up. The food is delicious and the menu endless. Friendly service and cool decor. Also worth a try is the Shanti Gossip restaurant (Skånegatan 71, 116 37 Stockholm), a 12-minute walk away, belonging to the same group. Considered one of Stockholm's best restaurants!

Unbeatable lunch packages for Stockholm standards! All for about a hundred kroner. Chutney is a vegetarian and vegan restaurant offering very good quality Asian inspired dishes for the price.

Very central and decorated in a tropical and modern style, La Maison du Wok allows you to eat well without breaking the bank, especially for lunch, thanks to the daily dishes selected by the chef.

A unique Stockholm townhouse, Berns Hotel, which serves as the setting for this beautifully designed restaurant with a menu inspired by the four corners of the world and frequently changing with the seasons. The bars, lounge and outdoor patio are busy with locals and can get very lively. Despite the fact that it is a rather chic and sophisticated establishment, it is not appreciated by everyone. Some will recommend it, others will not. We go there more for the atmosphere than for the food, a good place to have a drink!

Not a vegetarian? Because at AG Restaurant, meat has pride of place.

From the outside, this place doesn't look very original. The simple and uncluttered decoration is very similar to that of other Swedish bistros. But the originality is in the dishes. Here, the chef cooks fresh and the menu is limited to a slate stuck to the wall. The artists and designers have made no mistake: this is where they meet. If you are looking for a place that is not too touristy or too pretentious, this is a good address. The service is impeccable, whether you are a regular or not! The prices are reasonable.

The wait for brunch can sometimes be a little long, as this restaurant is a victim of its own success.
