Fodor's Expert Review Mathias Dahlgren–Matbaren
$$$
Norrmalm, Vasastan, and Kungsholmen
Scandinavian
Located inside the Grand Hôtel, this informal bistro has large windows, colorful floor tiles, and a horseshoe-shaped bar that together create an atmosphere of casual elegance. The menu changes frequently and focuses on Swedish and international dishes such as salted cod, lamb, seared beef, and arctic char, beautifully prepared using fresh Scandinavian ingredients. Portion sizes are moderate, so guests typically order more than one dish.
