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.

Swedish fine dining
The Museum of Spirits and its restaurant are housed in former naval buildings a stone's throw from the Vasa Museum. Not surprisingly, there's a strong emphasis on drinks, but equally on their partnership with modern, Nordic food. You could go so far as to call it fine dining - expect elegant gastronomy and exciting pairings.
