Based on restaurant recommendations from over 600 top chefs, restaurateurs and food writers, we bring you the Top 10 restaurants in Stockholm in 2023.
Stockholm’s food scene is flourishing and gaining global recognition. As a playground of the New Nordic food movement, the capital of culinary Sweden offers both tradition, innovation and brilliance in its restaurants. From iconic hot dog stands, market hall food and wine bars to world-renowned starred restaurants, Stockholm offers food for every taste and wallet. This is the city to try traditional Swedish dishes like meatballs with mashed potatoes, a pickled herring feast with a shot of aquavit and vendace roe with potato pancakes. Plus dozens of great bakeries and cafés to enjoy Swedish fika, including a freshly baked cinnamon bun.

Roslagsgatan 43
Roslagsgatan 43, 113 54 Stockholm, Sweden
Bord is a small, intimate restaurant in Vasastan, Stockholm, known for its relaxed atmosphere and friendly, professional service. The restaurant features an open kitchen, led by Faviken alum Joel Aronsson, and offers a frequently changing à la carte menu, prepared with well-chosen, seasonal ingredients. Some of the standout dishes include wild salmon with cherries and harissa, scallop with chanterelles and peas, and pig's head terrine, all of which are recommended by customers.

Being ambitious and cozy is a winning combination. Bord has taken over the space of the legendary Agricultur, and it has done so with confidence, being a high-quality Scandinavian neighborhood bistro. Most dishes are cooked over an open fire, ingredients are superb and the wine is list full of interesting finds from small producers - cool “attitude meets hygge” -ambiance as a bonus. We tried French white beans (coco de Paimpol) with vongole, line-caught bonito with tomatoes and figs & monkfish Provençale (and much more) – all of which was delicious. Every city should have a place like this.

Miyakodori is a Japanese Izakaya/gastro-pub in Stockholm. They offer a changing menu of yakitori cooked over burning charcoal and small dishes. Super friendly service and a relaxed and homey atmosphere. The owners had to wait a few years before opening, because they had difficulties finding a suitable restaurant space for their concept. Luckily after many Pop Ups Max, John and Lars finally found a space where they could realize their dreams together. Miyakodori on Upplandsgatan is wonderful. The owners have previously worked in Stockholm's best restaurants and Max in Japan.
