Food and drink in Stockholm

From a gastronomic desert to a culinary place of pilgrimage. That's how dramatically Stockholm's transformation into one of the most interesting places in the world to eat can be described. Both because there are so many really good restaurants, and because the standard is often high.

Christer Lingström's Edsbacka Krog is the only restaurant in Sweden to have been given two stars in the famous Michelin Guide.
