nary art that embraces and sets the tone on the heart of rustic cooking that is sprung from generations of italian tradition.

That is how we think of our gastronomy. The produce and craftwork in harmony.

blends and balances flavors and the highest quality ingredients.

We make our own stock, bake bread and use a variety of fresh ingredients—always—just like the classic French brasseries from which we take our inspiration.

Theo and the brigade.

Zink Grill Zink Grill is a restaurant that follows people´s natural rhythms throughout the day; it is a place to enjoy simple, clean, expertly cooked food that mirrors the shift from day to night.

Zink Grill is one of Stockholm´s most popular restaurants and

was named Restaurant of the Year in 2008/09. Zink Grill´s gastronomy? A combination of desserts, charcoal-grilled meats, charcuterie specialities, cocktails and fun side dishes -a bit of Italian and French with an American touch.

Villa Godthem Villa Godthem is a unique villa that was once a private residence completed in 1874.

It was built by devoted admirers as a gift to Carl Johan Uddman, the famous opera singer. History tells us that the powerfully voiced Uddman once walked home from the Royal Opera, and inside the hall, he exclaimed, “Jag har GÅTT-hem!”

Rosendalsvägen 9 Lat: 59.328496 • Long: 18.100235 +46 (0)8 684 238 40 www.villagodthem.se

which means, “I have WALKED home!” Hence the name: Godthem. But ever since the Stockholm Exhibition in 1897, Godthem has been a restaurant – it is indeed the same age as Prinsen.

And both are known for their legendary plank steak, a delicious dish that still remains popular to this day.

Fem Små Hus In the heart of Gamla Stan, close to the statue of St. George and the Dragon is the classic restaurant Fem Små Hus. This first-class restaurant is situated on Nygränd in six beautiful cellar vaults in five different houses. Architect Tore Lögdberg painstakingly decorated the restaurant in 1969, and it is still

in its original condition. As far back as the 1600s, there was a tavern in these cellar vaults.

Welcome to culturally historic surroundings where many antiques and special furnishing details are preserved to this day, and enjoy classic Swedish food from well-composed menus.

Restaurant Pelikan Traditional Swedish cuisine at its best! An institution among Stockholm’s restaurants.

For over 100 years, guests from near and far have been able to eat authentic, traditional Swedish cuisine with us. Meatballs, herring and reindeer are some of our guests favorites.

We are also innovators of Swedish tradition. But we aren’t changing our knuckle of pork: we gently cook it overnight and

serve it with the best mashed swedes in the city. Schnapps to enjoy with our dishes is no exception.

For dessert, you simply must give classic Swedish cheeses a chance, served with a perfectly paired glass of port, just like in old days.

Be sure to try out our wellstocked bar. Start or finish your night at Pelikan!

Welcome!

Tranan A place to meet at, have a bite to eat and something to drink.

That is what Tranan was known for in 1929, and still what Tranan is known for today.

Tranan has been open seven days a week for almost seventyfive years and has been situated

at the same address for the whole of that period. As early as the 1930’s, the regulars called Tranan the Club.

We shall naturally continue to greet both regular as well as new guests with a warm welcome. Enjoy your meal!

Djurgårdsbrunn They say that Queen Kristina used Djurgården to hunt wild lions—such a pursuit is no longer required. It is here we have created an idyllic retreat for everyone.

The menu consists of timeless and reinterpreted classics with inspiration from

traditional Swedish recipes and the Mediterranean. Outside our rotisserie roasts whole lambs slowly and you can enjoy a game of boule. We can’t think of a more pleasurable excursion here in Djurgården, even if we don’t have any lions.

Welcome!

Den Gyldene Freden Den Gyldene Freden has served genuine Swedish dishes since the opening in 1722. The cultural elite, tourists and regular guests visit our ancient facilities in Gamla Stan to enjoy the tasty food and the genuine atmosphere.

We are very proud of our heritage and passionate about refining classic courses into

modern cooking. Our philisophy is based on the idea that one must make time to prepare and enjoy fine food.

We make room for international influences, but our base is the Nordic kitchen interpreted in our own personal manner, with great respect for flora and fauna.

Stallmästaregården Stallmästaregården is surrounded by a peaceful and idyllic setting overlooking the tree-fringed bay of Brunnsviken in the Royal Haga Park, the National City park of Stockholm, and just a walk from Stockholm´s city center. The location captures the magnificent scenery of the Stockholm nature while the city pulse is just around the corner.

The restaurant was redesigned in early 2012 with modern

contemporary furnishing in warm copper tones that together with the historic elements reflect the herritage as Sweden´s first Inn. The heart is the centrally allocated bar which invites to long evenings in the lounge.

The food is a modern Swedish cuisine that has influences from both Tore Wretman´s traditional kitchen and new Swedish flavors with an emphasis on local food.

Konstnärsbaren Konstnärsbaren (“The Artists’ Bar”) was established in 1931 and in popular parlance is simply called KB. It is no coincidence that the restaurant is located close to Norrmalmstorg, just a stone’s throw from Sweden’s largest and most important stage, the Royal Dramatic Theatre, and numerous other theatres and cultural institutions.

KB quickly became a watering hole for famous artists and

actors, and still today, the restaurant’s guests include many actors, authors, artists and journalists.

With a strong commitment to quality and using the finest ingredients, Konstnärsbaren offers you an opportunity to experience classic Swedish dishes with a modern twist in a timeless milieu that combines rustic elements with fantastic works of art.

A NEW LAGER. AND A 100 YEAR OLD PLEASURE. In the beginning of the last century the Modern world was born on the continent of Europe. It was a time of progress, confidence and refined craftmanship in brewing. During the sixties Mariestads Brewery decided to salute this important era with an exclusive beer justly named Continental. And now its time has come again.

The new Mariestads Continental is a modern lager with an international air. A carefully blended mix of pilsner and caramel malted grains builds a beer with body and character. And the addition of English Fuggles together with Perle creates a light taste of hops and fresh citrus. Enjoy a glass of the new Continental.

Mariestads Continental.
