With the super-hyped Lilla Ego in Vasastan, award-winning chefs Tom Sjöstedt and Daniel Räms revolt against the French bistro trend and do their own thing.

Open kitchen, homemade tables, flea market finds, and industrial lamps in the ceiling – it’s all about the informal and spontaneous here.

The menu features Nordic flavors, and in the glass it’s primarily wines from the Old World that dominate. Be prepared for potentially long wait times for a table.

Update November 2025 - can only add that every visit to Lilla Ego is equally great, if you haven't been here, come here!

Review from May 2023 - but completely missed to write!

If you haven't been to Lilla Ego I can only say one thing: go there!

Undoubtedly it is the most affordable visit you can make in Stockholm. The food is incredibly good, the staff friendly and helpful, the venue cozy and all you want is for the evening to never end!

As you can see in the photos, not only is the food tasty, it is also plated incredibly beautifully - a restaurant where you definitely eat with your eyes.

Unfortunately it is hard to get a table, so make sure to be ready when the times are released! In the summer there is the possibility for drop-in on the outdoor seating, which is a hot tip.

This is where I will return!

One of my top 10 restaurants in Stockholm. Fantastic food and great service. A wonderfully relaxed atmosphere and the only restaurant where I ate 3 courses, and then was so impressed by the dessert that I ordered another. Not even a dessert person 😍

Edit January 2025
Stockholm's absolutely most affordable pub. Always world-class food, incredible service at a really good price. Lilla ego is and remains Stockholm's most stable and best pub.

Finally I visited Lilla Ego, and with sky-high expectations. And I wasn't disap...

Stämmer in i hyllningskören! Tredje gången jag är här med många års mellanrum, och det är precis lika gott och mysigt! Fantastisk service, de är hela tiden steget före och tar sig tid med alla trots att det är smäckfullt.

Uppdatering 7 juni 2025: går typ inte ens att sätta ord på den här upplevelsen. Helt galna smaker (på bästa tänkbara vis), går liksom inte att bli bättre! Vi satt i baren och delade på en förrätt + två varmrätter, allt veget...

Uppskattar verkligen ett ställe som kan ha otrolig mat utan att vara för pretto. Åt havskräfta till förrätt följt av rådjurssadel och en chokladig efterrätt. Förrätten var något av det godaste jag ätit på länge! En så...

Äntligen har jag lyckats få till ett besök på Lilla Ego! Låt dig inte avskräckas av den omöjliga bordsbokningen utan ställ dig i kö utanför strax innan det öppnar och hoppas på ett bord i baren. Det gjorde vi och hade en fantastisk uppl...

Bästa restaurangen jag har provar i Stockholm. Vi var här och firade en födelsedag. Vi fick jätte bra service. Mycket bra priser dessutom. Däremot är det ganska svårt att få bord, men definitivt värt det.

Besökt Lilla Ego nu kanske 15-20 ggr och aldrig någonsin blivit besviken på varken mat eller service. Finns det något minus så skulle det väl vara att de försöker vara lite väl opretentiösa att det blir lite fånigt men när folk frå...

Så. Bra. Så. Gott. Så. Fint.

Äntligen bokade vi Lilla Ego! En otrolig upplevelse med smaker som var fantastiskt komponerade. Små konstverk på tallriken som var en fröjd för både ögat och munnen! Hit kommer vi garanterat fler gånger! ❤️

Little Ego!

I've wanted to go here for a long time, and it was really worth the wait!
The sauces! That's all I can say! Sauce!
If there is one thing they can do, it is SÅS. They are probably quite aware of it themselves too, because they come out with small, sweet...

Andra gången jag är här. Även om mitt första besök var snäppet bättre är nivån så otroligt hög. Spännande och innovativa rätter som alltid är väldigt vackra. Samtidigt känns allt så genomtänkt och det...

The second visit, the new review. Was a bit disappointed at the first visit, as I said, then I think the food is not quite lived up to the hype. But this time ... wow, I just say. We shared the five dishes (3 starters, 2 main courses), which was on the verge of too much food, but we wanted to try as...

Magnifikt!
Infriar högt ställda förväntningar.

I've finally been to Little Ego! The history books have claimed that people have actually managed to get a table here, but after many attempts, I have almost waved the whole restaurant away as a mythological entity that has ever made up, to keep people's hopes up. Hopes were incorporated.

Listed in: Favoriter

Wow! The char was the best fish I ever had! Also the deer was the best deer ever tasted-crazy good main courses! Only negative is the interior-food is amazing interior very hipster.

Little Ego is always the first recommendation when Stockholmers are asked "Where will I eat the best and get a wow experience on the palate".
I can only agree. Have last 3 years maybe been here 15-20 times and only it says some.
Enough about me.
Little Ego is the neighborhood r...

Underbara Lilla Ego! Jag brukar alltid säga att detta är min absoluta favoritrestaurang, men denna gång nådde de inte riktigt upp till femstjärnig nivå. Det är svårt att sätta fingret på exakt vad som drog ner betyget – kanske var det nå...

Ja, vad ska man säga. Otroligt gott. Helt klart en av Stockholms bästa restauranger. Bra stämning, grymt trevlig personal och fantastisk mat. Varit här både på lunch och middag och det är alltid lika bra. Gå hit om du får chansen!
