The Best Bistros in Stockholm

I really like Babette, where they serve some delicious pizza. They have other dishes as well, like terrines, salads and vegetable dishes. I usually go for the pizza.

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.

Small casual restaurant serving very well executed dishes with seasonal Swedish produce.This tiny, very cute restaurant serves food in a very casual atmosphere where service is also very casual where we have zero complaints. The food is based around Swedish seasonal produce and super tasty and well-executed, it makes a lot of sense that their other restaurant is Michelin starred. What we ordered was the following:* Salt brined cucumbers, smetana & honey.* Endives, blood orange & almonds.* Gnudi, spinach, morrels & cabbage broth.* Pork skewer, oyster sauce, chives & espelette.* Lamb, cabbage, tomato, anchovy & gravy.* Basque cheesecake and rhubarb compote.We really enjoyed every single dish, there’s nothing we thought should be different, just great flavors and combinations. If we had to pick any favorites it would be the gnudi and the lamb, just perfectly cooked, great textures and amazing flavor. The cheesecake was really interesting because it had a texture and flavor that reminded us a tiny bit of tamago, which they said might have to do with the fact they use a ton of egg yolks for each cheesecake.Overall a very enjoyable meal and we have a feeling that if we’d live in Stockholm we would visit this place very regularly.

Café Nizza serves some nice small dishes, the menu is quite French influenced with dishes like fried sweetbreads, different vegetables or pasta. A nice and cozy small restaurant.

Triton is a quite new place in the South of Stockholm. It’s has a super nice atmosphere and they serve a really nice three course menu with fresh ingredients. I would go for the pasta and meat dishes and they have a great natural wine list as well.

Neighbourhood bistro in Vasastan. Awesome flavours and textures in their dishes and fantastic serviceThe atmosphere at Lilla Ego is very relaxed and casual. Professional service makes you feel welcome. A la carte menu and the dishes are always interestingly created. There is a lot going on in flavours and textures. It’s difficult to get a table reservation, especially on the weekends, but they always keep 8 bar counter seats free for drop-ins. They also have one room for larger groups.

All-time Stockholmers’ favorite: historical interior, freshly cut flowers, classic menu, champagne.All-time Stockholmers’ favorite: opulent historical interior, bunches of freshly cut flowers, classic menu, champagne. Best choice for pre-opera dinner or after-ballet supper (Friday and Saturday nights it’s open late).

Baby brother to popular Cafe Nizza , a winebar with a neighborhoody vibe but worth a detour to this part of town. Good for an aperitivo or light dinner made of snacks and small shared small plates and natural wines. Good music, good labels, good design - nothing more needed.

A small and casual restaurant in the mid-city of Stockholm. Great Mediterranean inspired food and a truly stunning wine list.

Traditional and beautifulRestaurant Pelikan is the place for traditional Swedish food and it is also one of the most beautiful restaurants in the city.

Simple, crowded, noisy – and wonderfulBar Nimes is an ambitious operation in the disguise of a noisy, tightly packed corner bar. Founded by the Finnish chef Kim Öhman, co-owner of Stockholm’s popular Farang (and with a work history in Fat Duck and Per Se), the food philosophy is a no-nonsense combination of Southern France and Piedmont. The generous and reasonably priced dishes seem simple but are made with big passion, the daily handmade pastas being a prime example. We chose pissaladiere, salad of fresh artichokes, agnolotti del plin, tajarin with truffles, pepper steak & milk chocolate sorbet, and everything was as good as it gets. The wine list follows the same principles as the food. Handpicked old-world wines with good price/quality. Öhman has said, that his goal was to create a timeless place that could be there forever and in which he himself would love to dine every week. That summarizes Bar Nimes perfectly.
