A stone's throw from the main tourist drag in the Old Town is Bistro Ruby, a French bistro with a calm atmosphere, classic dishes and dark red walls. Forget "touristy" - the city's foodie crowd has been coming here for over 30 years. 

Since the 80s, the Paris-influenced bistro on Österlånggatan has been a popular alternative to the Old Town's tourist spots, attracting both in-the-know Stockholmers and curious tourists. Unlike many of its white-tiled counterparts, Bistro Ruby has a warm French style; bare wooden tables are framed by dark red walls, lots of small art motifs and warm lighting. The French-Swedish menu includes obligatory classics such as oysters and beef Rydberg, which are often combined with wine or beer. Naturally, you can finish with a classic dessert with French and Swedish influences. 

Just like the street outside, Bistro Ruby is characterised by a calm and relaxed atmosphere for a mature audience. This is the place to go, especially for groups who want to socialise over a bite to eat and a glass of wine, or to meet and chat quietly over a drink at the bar. Both wine and cocktails are available to sip at the bar. In the summer months, the outdoor seating area is open right next to Österlånggatan, a popular stop for guests who want to sit down to eat, sip wine and watch people pass by. Next door, you'll also find its sister restaurant Grill Ruby with neat grilled dishes and a slightly more lively atmosphere.

Super charming restaurant, nice vibe and classic. The entrecote was delicious. Perfect for both a calmer and romantic dinner or for just a cozy dinner with friends and family!

Nej fy! Det här var verkligen botten både vad gäller mat och service. Vi hade lika gärna kunnat kasta pengarna i Stockholms ström ett stenkast bort. Usch.

Just like Grill Ruby, this place has way better days. Two chances gave me and both time was the food far below expectations, services were we satisfied with.

Surely three years ago I visited Ruby who then had fallen asleep in a bit after several years of popularity, new visit recently because my date wanted to go there, stepping into a nicely renovated bistro, annoying the red color away thankfully, the kitchen has really pulled up and delivers Top class...
