Delicious Östermalm
Publish date: 11 June 2025
The upscale neighborhoods of Östermalm have recently seen a culinary boom. Here are some great restaurants for lunch or dinner.
Östermalm has long been synonymous with exclusive shops and prestigious restaurants. And to a certain extent, it still is. Östermalm Market Hall has supplied hungry Stockholmers with the best cheese, meat, fish, and vegetables since 1888. But in recent years Östermalm has gone through a culinary renaissance and beloved establishments like Riche and Sturehof have received new and rowdy neighbors.
Östermalm – District Guide
Coco & Carmen might be a classic lunch restaurant by day, but come nightfall, the location turns into a rowdy hot spot with a 9-course set menu. Less lively but cozier is DoMa, which has traded in typical fine dining tropes for a more homey feel. DoMa, founded by Tea Malmegård and Viktor Lejon, started as an at-home restaurant and the menu features many ingredients grown in their garden.
Other relatively recent additions to Östermalm's restaurant scene are Persona, Ärla, Brasserie Astoria, founded by Björn Frantzén of Franzén-fame; the French restaurant La Belle Epoque; Asian gastropub Goma; omakase-diner Black Milk Gastro Pub and the beer hall -and brewery Omaka.
