Michelin restaurants in Stockholm

In recent years Stockholm has gained international attention and a reputation as a place where chefs are reinventing their roots and food traditions and creating new ones. This hasn't gone unnoticed by the esteemed Guide Michelin. Stockholm is home to 12 restaurants with one, two, or three stars in the venerated restaurant guide.

Stockholm's fanciest restaurants holding one or two Michelin stars are blazing their own trails and continuously seeking new ways to present Swedish cuisine. And in 2018 the famed Frantzén earned its place in history as the first restaurant in Stockholm to earn the highly coveted third Michelin star.

Here are the stars on the Stockholm version of gastronomy heaven:

***

• Frantzén – Frantzén received its third star in 2018, becoming the first of its kind in Sweden. Located in a renovated 19th-century townhouse, diners change rooms and floors as they work through the innovative menu.

**

• AIRA – A menu of seasonal Nordic flavors and ingredients, in beautiful surroundings overlooking the sea. Head chef Tommy Myllymäki wanted AIRA to be worth a detour, with its location on Djurgården Island, obviously succeding as the restaurant received its second star in 2023.

*

• Sushi Sho – An unassuming and stylish sushi restaurant that was awarded a star in the 2016 Guide. Diners are served a tasting menu of 15 dishes prepared in the open kitchen.
• Ekstedt – Niklas Ekstedt envisioned his eponymous restaurant as a place where food is prepared and cooked using traditional open-flame methods. The Guide Michelin awarded his vision in 2013 with the restaurant's first star.
• Operakällaren – Operakällaren has undergone many changes and permutations during its +200 year lifespan. The historical establishment in central Stockholm has been serving food and drinks since 1787 from its location in the Royal Opera House.
• Etoile – Surprising and creative, Etoile strives to subvert diners' expectations with its playful set menu. The restaurant received its first star in 2020 and has also been awarded a green star for its focus on sustainability.
• Nour – Stylish and relaxed, Nour fashions itself as an "alternative fine dining"-restaurant. Restaurant manager and chef Sayan Isaksson mixes the high standards of a fine dining establishment, but in a setting that's reminiscent of coming home to someone for dinner.
• Adam / Albin – The most ambitious restaurant project to date from chefs Adam Dahlberg and Albin Wessman. Located in central Stockholm, it offers a modern fine dining experience built around seasonal ingredients, precision, and warm hospitality.
• Seafood Gastro – Mathias Dahlgren's latest venture is a fine-dining fishery located at Grand Hôtel in Stockholm. The tasting menu sources almost all of its flavors and ingredients from the sea: fish, shellfish, algae, water plants, and seabirds.
• Dashi – As the name implies, dashi broth is the foundation for much of the Japanese restaurant Dashi's seasonal osusume tasting menu. The restaurant opened in 2023 and received its first Michelin nod in 2024.
• Celeste – Etoile's sister-restaurant Celeste opened on Södermalm in 2023 and quickly wowed diners with its playful and inventive menu and drinks. Located in a penthouse on Torkel Knutssongatan, Celeste received its first star in 2024.
• ergo. – A restaurant that offers a 5-course seasonal menu with choices for each individual serving. The restaurant received its first star in 2025.
