Special Jury Prize Sweden 2026
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.

Best Newcomer List Sweden 2026

Address: Stora Nygatan 22, Stockholm
Cork is a new charming, relaxed and cosy wine bar and restaurant in the Old Town in Stockholm. The wine list focuses on Portugal, and the food is Mediterranean, leaning mostly towards Italy (you have to try the risotto!). The venue itself is quite small and intimate, with a lot of wood and – of course – cork. The best spot is by the bar counter, where you can chat with knowledgable owner/sommelier Alexandre Carreira, while he serves you some great wine.
