Trivia:
Frantzén was previously located in Gamla stan but closed in 2016, despite having two Michelin stars. However, at its new location in the city centre, it became Sweden's first three-star Michelin restaurant in 2018 and is considered one of the best restaurants in the world.

Björn Frantzén's famous luxury restaurant is the first, and so far only, Swedish restaurant to receive three stars in the Michelin Guide. Housed in a completely renovated 19th-century building in the middle of the city, Frantzén offers a restaurant experience unlike any other.
Frantzén was originally located in the Old Town but now resides in grand premises in the city with three floors and its own terrace. The space is over 500 square meters, five times larger than the previous one, but there is only room for 23 seated guests.
The visit begins at the door down on the street, where guests ring a bell before taking the elevator up to the restaurant and being welcomed into the lounge. Once inside the restaurant, guests are treated to a complete experience in different stages - with champagne by the fireplace and small dishes from the open kitchen, where guests are invited to watch the food being prepared.
Whether you choose to have lunch or dinner at Frantzén, the tasting menu is the same. The drinks are carefully selected to complement the food perfectly. In addition to detailed presentations of the ingredients and a culinary spectacle, there is also a visit to the wine cellar. The entire visit concludes with imaginative small desserts by the open fireplace.
In 2018, Frantzén became the first three-star Swedish restaurant ever, and in the fall of 2021, it also climbed to sixth place on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list.

Edit March 2022: Three stars and a top 10 world appointment later, I've been here again. Now it costs even more, 4200 SEK/ person for the food. Highest price in the world? Totally justified anyway. Ojojoj va good it is. Sweeping the track with all the other Michelin-starred restaurants I've tried, hard to see how a restaurant could be better than this.
Original Review: If I try to tell you about this whole experience, you won't be able to read, plus it's more fun to go there without knowing exactly how everything will go from the time you step in to when you go home.
In summary, the restaurant experience of my life, both in terms of food, service and total experience. Love that Frantzén has adopted a slightly more relaxed position on service, atmosphere and even food. It doesn't have to be that experimental to become an experience. Both the most pretentious professionals, as well as the most ignorant, will.
SEK 3,000 for the food is of course a lot of money, by far the highest price of all the luxury restaurants I have seen. But then they are also the best. Considering that the old restaurant in Gamla Stan was ranked as the world's 12th best restaurant, I find it very difficult to see that this one should not be the top 10. I think you're aiming for first place. If this is not Sweden's first 3-star restaurant, Sweden apparently cannot get one.

Really good and probably also one of the city's most expensive restaurants. Great food in a relaxed environment. Should you cavil down on something is the good price picture and a bit stiff service.

Incredible experience! Food, drink, service is unreal and 5-6 hours of sitting goes in a flash

Experiencing Franzén is really something completely different. And I really say experience and not eat for a reason, because Franzén is an experience beyond just the food. It's a show that you're a part of, and you can tell that every little detail is strictly reviewed. Even...

Frantzen, I never thought I would get to write a review about this restaurant. But when we chose to give up Italy this year and Frantzen chose to be open, we were able to put the travel money there. And money well spent.
Oh my what an experience, I still can't believe we've been there,...

Could a restaurant experience be better than this? No, I don't think so.
There is as little point in going into something specific in detail as there is in trying to find something to criticize. Everything is as good as it gets, all the time. The food is fantastic, the environment is...

You go to Frantzén when your friend HAPPENED to make two bookings and she needs to get rid of one. Don't wait to go to this institution to celebrate, here you celebrate the gastronomy and the best experience of a lifetime. Frantzén is Frantzén and there is probably nothing...

Was here for my 30th birthday in 2019!
Very memorable and an incredibly nice experience.
Fun to get an insight into the kitchen and a look at how Zen in Singapore worked via live link.
We felt very appreciated and the food was delicious.
Affordable for a 3-star rating.

Dinner at Frantzen was a surprise of my partner, and it was the best dining experience of my life.
From that we got there that went home 3.5 h later everything was absolutely wonderful.
Their living room enjoying a glass of champagne to the first amuse bouchens in front of the fireplace, t...

Going to Frantzén is something different from what I have experienced before. From the second you ring the bell down on the street to get in until you come out again.
It's like going into a capsule and visiting a fairytale world where magical creatures have conjured with every bite.

Visited April 2019 - by far, without a doubt, the best experience I've had and then also beyond just the food. The price is absolutely high but worth every penny. From the first step, everything is an experience that you don't want to end. Impeccably.

6 hours of total experience for all the senses! The drink up in the salon with champagne and a review of the evening's ingredients was a fantastic start, followed by dinner around the chefs. Achieved our sky-high expectations.

Yes, what do you say? The 3-star worthy to say the least. It is friendly, you feel at home and comfortable, it is beautiful and it is offered in a lot of cool things in terms of both food and beverage route. I liked that they had lunch, then you can sit there and enjoy!

Insane Good food. I was surprised how good it actually was. I was at Franzén when it was in the old town and walked away from a little disappointed. But they have really come up, they can only be their three stars. The service was soft and embracing and the food brutal. I took the non-alcohol...
