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.

Many of these establishments feature their own highly creative menus based on a blend of classic Swedish fare and influences from all over the world. The wine lists are equally impressive. Many other places are more or less authentically ethnic, but as in all dynamic culinary cities, the selection changes from year to year and ambitious new restaurants continually spring up. Smaller, classic Stockholm restaurants include Prinsen, PA&Co and KB in Östermalm/city centre, Tranan in Vasastan and Bistro Ruby in Gamla Stan. Sturehof and Riche are classic, large-scale brasseries in the middle of the entertainment precinct at Stureplan. The newest and trendiest include Nox and GQ in Östermalm, Marie Laveau in Södermalm, Allmänna Galleriet in Kungsholmen and Hälsingborg in Vasastan. Rörstandsgatan in Vasastan is probably home to more restaurants than any other street in Stockholm, with lots of local places serving good food in a relaxed atmosphere..
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.
