Prinsen is a real classic that has been around since 1897 and is just as popular today. Here you’ll find a venerable setting with patina, bistro menus, and champagne in a combination that appeals to both cultural workers and business people.
As one of the city’s true dining institutions, Prinsen attracts a mixed crowd of guests to Mäster Samuelsgatan, right by Biblioteksgatan. The restaurant follows a classic bistro style and the interior is well preserved. Patterned floors, leather-upholstered sofas, white tablecloths, simple chairs, and plenty of paintings and photographs share the space on the walls. It’s no secret that Prinsen has long been a regular haunt for artists and writers—the set menus are even named after authors and poets—but you’re welcome here whether you’re a culture person, a finance pup, or out dining with friends.
Prinsen serves both lunch and dinner, and the Swedish-French menu includes everything from Toast Skagen to fish stew, Wallenbergare, meatballs, and Cajun salad. There are also many substantial meat and fish dishes in a slow-food format.
Towards the evening, the slightly more business-oriented lunch vibe shifts into a lively atmosphere with a strong mingling factor. Pair your meal with a cocktail or a glass of champagne, or visit the Hemingway-inspired cocktail bar Bar Prinsen in the lower dining room.
The restaurant is operated by Gastro Hospitality, which includes, among others, Il Tempo. Click here to see all the venues.

This beautiful and historic place, it should certainly not be missed.
Was here for the first time last winter, and was very happy. So amazing very fine detail in both the decor and the menu. I and my companion chose fish, Prince's classic meatballs and a vegetarian dish. Everyone was more than happy.
We were placed in one of the cozy booths and I had from there good eye on the never-ending folk band in the door. In addition, it was a real pleasure to see the dinner run back and forth and up and down the elegant steps, to pick up wines out of the cabinets and download the cleverly stacked the loaves, which landed on the table, uppstuckna on a stick.
The staff was awesome it was experienced and that they were both proud and knowledgeable. High level throughout.
New addition, Hemmingway bar, down a flight of stairs, is a dream come true for a cocktail geek like me. Handsome environment, who brought the idea to round-the-travel and dreams of foreign country.

Very classic and cozy restaurant. The old soul is in the walls and it feels like you forget everything outside and have been transported to Paris and have no time to fit, or at least for us. I was here for Sunday lunch, which happened to be 4 hours. Of course, it depends on the company but also on t...

If you're in the mood for a little finer home cooking, Prinsen is an excellent alternative! The meatballs are awesome, super good. Such a good place to watch people on their outdoor terrace😍 A glass or two on a nice autumn day at Prinsen I don't say no to!

I like the prince very much.
I love the décor, the lord in the closet who when I'm there is always the same... It's not clear if it's a one-man job, but it's a good buzz.
The tableware is good, not the best but the wardrobe weighs up most things.
Most rec...

I have had lunch here and thought it was very good! However, it was probably one of the most expensive lunches I have eaten, I can think the price was a bit on the high side! We also had to pay extra to hang our jackets and we were informed of this cost only when we had to pay for the food. However,...

Just like previous reviews, I can only agree that this is a classic everyone should visit. We sat outside despite the slightly cooler weather and had a nice lunch. Both ordered meatballs, a beer each and a coke - the bill landed just under 900kr with tips. The meatballs are probably the best we have...

Be here and have lunch and although it was very nice and cozy, it will be no more than a three.
This old classic restaurant is exactly what you think it should be. Interior in old style, a little dark murky, cozy booths in the same style as Tranan, Kvarnen and Pelikan. However, incredibly...

Good food and nice environment, but unfortunately a waiter who was both forgetful and ignorant.
The lobster soup was delicious, but unfortunately we didn't get any wine (Chardonnay) and got to eat the starter without the wine we ordered. For the main course, the waiter asked us 3 times wha...

Love the décor and the atmosphere! But unfortunately, it felt like they had changed hands with some who do not know the food tradition. The food was cold and boring and it felt like we paid for old victories rather than for what they offer today.

Denna legend är ett 100% kort på Stureplan med underbar mat och en historia som få restauranger i Stockholm kan skryta med en intakt miljö som lever vidare.

Meatballs or Biff Rydberg are a must!
