Berns
Price: SKr 395 (fixed price).
Wine: SKr 260.

Lately given a makeover by British style guru Sir Terence Conran, this restaurant in the Berns Hotel has a born again quality. On a busy night, Berns can fit in around 250 diners, who come to enjoy the top class cooking and the added attraction of the new crustacean bar, which is a must for seafood lovers.

There is a large variety of fresh shellfish served with various sauces and cooked according to the diner’s personal preference. Other Berns specialties are the tasty lobster and the dessert option of delicious armagnac (brandy) ice cream.

The restaurant was once a grand theatre hall and the remarkable decor, with gilded ceilings and huge chandeliers, creates a impressive setting for dinner.

Bon Lloc
Price: SKr 650. Wine: SKr 250. .

A further fine dining temple that proves how much the Swedes love top-quality cooking, Bon Lloc has a relaxed atmosphere and food with a Spanish influence.

In the dining room, the straight back, upholstered chairs are teal and wine colored, with crisp white tablecloths for silver service. With the finest chef in all of Sweden at the helm, Bon Lloc cannot go wrong.

Mathias Dahlgren’s ‘nouveau Euro-Latino’ cooking well deserves its 1 Michelin star and booking well ahead is crucial. 1 of the best dishes is oven roasted ham with apple cider glaze, while the willingness to experiment is evident in main courses such as roasted pig’s foot. The recent move to a larger, more central location has done nothing to dent the supremacy of Bon Lloc (the name means ‘good luck’ in Catalan).

Gasslingen
Price: SKr 595. Wine: SKr 365.
This restaurant serves the finest of French high cooking in fashionable, although slightly unusual surroundings, rather like an Alsace cottage, with pictures of geese on the walls.

For visitors who like classical French style and cuisine, this is the place to head for. It is a temple to gastronomy, specialising in classic haute cuisine, with such delights as duck, foie gras, lobster and truffles.

PA & Co
Price: SKr 300. Wine: SKr 230

This used to be 1 of the undoubted stars of the Stockholm restaurant scene but its most stylish times are now behind it. Once responsible in many ways for helping to kick start Stockholm's culinary renaissance, PA & Co is nevertheless still going strong, despite its critics.

This durability is largely due to the excellent value of the food on offer. The decor is straightforward and understated, while the Swedish produce is still as fresh as ever, with well cooked red meat dishes including excellent reindeer.

Address: Riddargatan 8

Wedholms Fisk Price: SKr 550. Wine: SKr 280
Stockholm is surrounded by rivers, lakes and the sea, so it is no surprise that seafood is very popular here. The award of best fish restaurant in the city is much fought over, although many locals and discerning visitors agree that the honour goes to Wedholms Fisk, whose freshly prepared seafood has earned the restaurant a Michelin star.

The creamy sauces that cover the freshly caught turbot, sole and salmon are legendary on the Stockholm culinary scene. The classical cooking style varies between Swedish and classical French, while the decor tends toward the pale and purely fashionable. The resturant is closed on Sundays.
