Luxury gourmet dinners are all well and good, but few things beat a well-cooked, classic Swedish dish. The origin of traditional Swedish cooking was mainly based on the produce found close to the farm and varied depending on what was available during the season.
Traditional Swedish cuisine has proved very popular with locals and tourists alike and many high-end restaurants will feature some classic dishes on their menu. We have listed seven restaurants where you can find some of the best Swedish food in Stockholm!
