Inside Stockholm’s show-off opera house, the century-old Operakällaren is a major gastronomic event. Decadent chandeliers, golden mirrors and exquisitely carved ceilings set the scene for French-meets-fusion adventures like seared scallops with caramel, cauliflower purée, pata negra ham and brown-butter emulsion. Book at least two weeks ahead.
