Celeste in one sentence: Michelin-starred restaurant and rooftop bar which serves creative, modern and seasonal fine dining with views over Södermalm.

Michelin-starred restaurant up high

On the eighth floor of the police station on Mariatorget, this Michelin-starred restaurant serves up creative cuisine and beautiful views of the rooftops of Södermalm. The restaurant received its star in 2024, the same year that restaurateur Jonas Lagerström won the TV show Kockarnas kamp for the second time. Here, he and Rakel Wennemo lead a young and ambitious team focused on delivering the very best.

Restaurateur Jonas Lagerström, who also runs the Michelin-starred restaurant Etoile, is known for his experimental cooking where he combines Nordic ingredients with international flavours. At Celeste, he wants to offer a modern and innovative fine dining experience that surprises and varies with the seasons. Each dish is like a work of art and is carefully paired with suitable drinks. Celeste consists of a dining room, a bar and a summer terrace, all of which invite you to different experiences.

If you want to go all-in, the tasting menus are the ones you should aim for, where you choose between five and eight courses and add a carefully considered drinks package with cocktails or wine. The experience starts down in the inner courtyard, where you ring the bell and take the elevator up to the eighth floor. You're welcomed with a drink on the terrace and snacks at the bar, before you are shown to your table and taken on a well-composed gastronomic journey. If you want an equally thoughtful – but slightly more relaxed – experience, you can book an à la carte dinner, lunch or stop by for a well-crafted drink at the cocktail bar.

In the summer, the large terrace opens up and welcomes you to a sunny, relaxed hangout where even dogs are welcome. A special menu with summery flavours is offered here, which is of course accompanied by equally summery cocktails.

Wonderfully good and exciting food. In addition, a relaxed atmosphere. Can't get much better.

I was very excited to visit this place last summer just after they had received their first star. Unfortunately, this did not live up to expectations at all. The food itself was beautiful but there is not a single dish that I remember as particularly wow. In addition, all three of us in the party le...

I was here and had drinks and wasn't disappointed! The margarita with salted foam was incredible and the staff was sweet and showed how the foam was made. I can imagine it's cozy on the terrace when it’s sunny. However, it felt a bit empty.

Nice venue and good drinks. Unfortunately, the experience was otherwise questionable and the place felt unstructured with questionable service. How they managed to get a Michelin star is completely incomprehensible to us, and the experience is nowhere near other restaurants we have visited with that...

Really unpleasant and ignorant staff who have been careless about bookings and are not the least bit service-minded. Have rarely encountered such boring, unprofessional treatment as from the entrance host. Sharpening!

Visited today , 3 people roof terrace .. The mini menu was inviting but the staff, the service.. no no, with the standard the restaurant strives for, those who work for school or someone must tell you how to do, carelessly, splashed drinks that don't come whole to the table, dripping wet.. Swee...

I recently had the opportunity to visit a place that left me with mixed feelings. While the location was undeniably fantastic, the overall experience fell short of my expectations. With a little more focus on creativity, drinks, and a clearer concept, this place could truly shine.

“Wow, mm … oj! Överraskningarna kommer som ett pärlband på stjärnkrogen Celeste. Menyn är bara en fingervisning om vad som ska landa på tallriken.”

“Restaurangen på Söder är ett exempel på Stockholms kreativa och trendiga matscen som samtidigt ger en glimt av Söders takåsar.”
