Stockholm’s best traditional food restaurants
Riche, Operakällaren, Teatergrillen, and Stallmästaregården – all are Wretman restaurants. In his book Kökspojken (Kitchen boy), Wretman describes how his parents decided he would become an apprentice chef – because then he would never starve. Years later, he introduced nouvelle cuisine to Sweden.
Wretman is also the man behind a number of Swedish classics including Toast Skagen, possibly the world’s best shrimp sandwich, which remains as modern today as when it was first introduced in 1958.
Lisa Elmqvist
Like Wretman, Lisa Elmqvist is a Purveyor to the Royal Court. Her namesake restaurant can be found in Östermalmshallen, where tantalizing aromas and flavors tempt hungry shoppers.

Melanders
There are several branches of this combined upscale fishmonger and restaurant scattered across Stockholm. Why not enjoy a shrimp sandwich for lunch, then grab some delicious monkfish to make for dinner?

This restaurant started out as beer café and has gone by its name since 1905. Both the décor and the food are inspired by the restaurant’s long history.
