Tradition, right next to the Royal Palace in the Old Town, is renowned for its traditional Swedish homecooking. Uncomplicated cuisine, using top quality ingredients and cooked with knowledge and skill, is the order of the day here.

The light, airy restaurant on Österlånggatan is decorated in Scandinavian style with simple, pared-back furniture and natural tones. Come by to eat typical Swedish homecooking dishes, for Sunday dinner or in the middle of the week. Anders Hassellhöf is responsible for the day-to-day running of the kitchen and the restaurant has been run by Erik Löth och Anders Lundström since 2021.

The menu at Tradition includes typically Swedish dishes as well as modern variations on much-loved favourites. The traditional menu consists of starters, main courses and desserts, including dishes such as Toast Skagen, meatballs with traditional accompaniments and classic konditori-style sweet treats.

If you want to make your meal extra authentic, choose from a selection of snaps to pair your meal with. Or kickstart your dinner with a cocktail flavoured with lingonberries, or other Swedish flavours. During the day they serve a daily lunch special along with permanent fixtures such as pea soup on Thursdays.

Had dinner with the team from work, we were very happy! Some took schnapps and with schnapps came the song.
Very nice staff, would really like to come back.

Lunch in the old town can be tricky. Here you will find today's at a reasonable price and good quality.

Board dinner 12 people. Very nice community table where we all got a place. Nice and easy-going service. Good wine combination despite some challenging Swedish dishes. Roe, variant on beef rydberg - very stable.

Lunches - very good quality. Not the largest portions but attans good. However...

Really good home cooking, a little gem in the old town. Stylish and stripped down interior. Often full at lunch so a tip is to book a table before :)

Super tasty meatballs. Great service and extra plus for hot plate. I will be happy to come here again.

A place that is a pretty safe card if you want honest home cooking. However, the place feels a bit sterile why I think it is best suited for lunch.
