    Restaurateur Daniel Crespi and his gastronomic team have always held the banner of creativity high in their neighbourhood in Old Town, Stockholm. New restaurants and concepts have come and gone in a steady stream over the years, but now they have instead chosen one main focus, and in September they re-opened Restaurant Leijontornet after 13 years. (This replaces the famous restaurant of theirs: Djuret) The food is first class and so obviously made with the wine in focus, with dishes such as duck liver minced quail, double breaded Cotoletta Milanese and fried turbot. Generous and with depth in...

    Tegelbacken is a colourful (literally speaking) little gem in the middle of central Stockholm that offers equal parts relaxed cosiness and elegant flair. With a view of the water and the Parliament building, the restaurant is a lovely oasis in the middle of the well-trafficked hubbub outside. The kitchen is led by well-known TV chef Markus Aujalay, and medium-sized dishes inspired by a variety of cuisines are served here. Always with pure, fine-tuned flavours and plenty of finesse. The wine list is not huge but very well curated and with a focus on Europe in general and France in particular,...

    One of Sweden’s best restaurants – Aloë was awarded two Michelin stars 2020 – is hidden among the villas in a Stockholm suburb. If you can find it, you’re rewarded with a very original and sometimes spicy cuisine with influences ranging from Japan to North Africa. I have been here a million times, it's no secret I think it's absolutely fabulous. The wine list has a good mix of old and new world wines, and a good beverage pairing.

    Astrids is a small neighbourhood gem outside Stockholm city – you take the green subway line around 15 minutes from the city centre to get there. The place itself is modest but homely and cosy. The food is bistro-style, with dishes like beef tartar, fish soup and entrecôte (also several dishes to choose from for the kids), well-executed and tasty. The wine list is not the biggest, but impressive for being a small place on the outskirts of Stockholm. A bit over 100 different wines to choose from by the bottle and around ten by the glass.

    Brasserie Astoria in central Stockholm is the latest Frantzén group address and it is an impressive opening. A venue to behold, and the same goes for the crowd. The cuisine is respectful of the classics and the service is at the level you would expect for a top venue like this. The sommeliers have built a solid wine book from the start, including an impressive number of back vintages and a few natural producers as well. They will need to keep up the smart buying, considering the flow of great wine during Astoria’s opening. There is also a wine bar in one of the beautiful rooms.

    With Mirabelle, sommelier David Lilja Lundin and chef Viktor Sandström have opened the French bistro they dreamed about, in the Vasastan neighbourhood of Stockholm. Monsieur Lundin was previously at Café Nizza where he managed the wine program. Mirabelle loves wine of course, but the list is fairly short, at least until more space is found. The food is rustic household French, and the paté de campagne makes us say oh la la. Did Vasastan really need another bistro? For a place like Mirabelle, there is always room.

    Restaurant Agnes has quickly become an established favourite among the wine and food lovers of the Kungsholmen hood in Stockholm (and in fact this is my neighbourhood favorite). Its heart is in southern Europe with many Spanish specialities. The service staff is experienced and friendly! Downstairs you will find both the wine cellar and a separate dining room. In summer, the terrace is a great place to have a bite and a glass of wine.

    When winemakers arrive in Stockholm, it's not rare to find them here. The hearty French-inspired classical bistro cuisine is very wine-friendly and with its generous opening-hours all days of the week - it's a sure bet if other places are closed. But even though it's been open for ever (or more than 30 years), it can still get packed - reservations are wise. The restaurateurs are Johan Jureskog and Klas Ljungquist - the team behind AG.

Behind this lively bar, we find David Svensson, previously sommelier at Djuret and the Leijontornet group in the Old Town of Stockholm. With his solid know-how, he has quickly built up a true gem that makes it well worth leaving the city centre. The place is small and cosy, with a larger wooden table in the centre of the room, a few smaller tables and bar seating.

The food comes as a set menu of three savoury dishes, and the menu is updated continuously. There are also some smaller snacks to choose from.
