You eat well wherever you are in the city and regardless of whether you prefer Swedish, international, ethnic or a fusion of all of these. Stockholm’s restaurateurs and chefs are renowned for their culinary creativity, and the restaurant environment and atmosphere are very much part of the total experience.

Casual eating

For more casual and modest dining, virtually every district in Stockholm has local restaurants that serve a wide range of dishes in various styles and frequently function as local meeting places as well, often with adjoining bars.

At the top end of the scale, two Stockholm restaurants have been awarded two stars in the Guide Michelin, and five more have received one star – impressive numbers for a city of this size and latitude.

Stockholm never sleeps

Very few cities offer nightlife on a par with Stockholm’s - a scene that really lives, seven nights a week, year in, year out. In this respect, Stockholm has very little competition from anywhere north of Paris and London.
