Top choice in Stockholm
Dining here is as much an experience as a meal. Chef Niklas Ekstedt's education in French and Italian cooking informs his approach to traditional Scandinavian cuisine – but only slightly.

The Michelin-starred restaurant is frequently named among the best in the world; reservations are essential.
