Djurgården, the former royal hunting grounds, attracts countless visitors for its leafy green areas, museums and attractions, but it's also a great destination for foodies. You really need to know your way around, though, because in amongst the hot dog stands and tourist traps there are some really fantastic restaurants. Round off a long walk with a delicious lunch, get your friends together for a celebratory meal or why not take the ferry across to the island one evening for a special midweek dinner - these are the best restaurants on Djurgården.

Classic and modern
This restaurant is a real Djurgården institution, with its roots in the 18th century. It's now a contemporary restaurant in historic surroundings, serving breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Food, music and a lively atmosphere are the order of the day and the menu consists of classic dishes with a modern twist. Naturally, Hasselback potatoes, which were invented here in the 1950s, are a firm fixture on the menu, but in a new guise with various tasty toppings and accompaniments.
