In recent years, Stockholm's restaurant life has blossomed. There are lots of new,
fashionable restaurants with enticing menus. These days, a restaurant's atmosphere is
almost as important as the culinary experience that it provides.
Rolfs K�k, designed by Jonas Bohlin, was one of the first total-designed restaurants in
Stockholm, but many others have followed suit, including the newly reopened Berns Salonger,
which was designed and decorated by Terence Conran of London.
A number of Stockholm restaurants have been awarded a star in the venerable Michelin
Guide, including Grands Franska Matsal, Fredsgatan 12, Paul & Nobert, Operak�llaren and
Wedholms Fisk. These award-winning restaurants are well worth a visit. A good idea is to try
the lunch menus, which are often priced quite reasonably.
Many restaurants serve food that is influenced by a mix of different countries and culinary
traditions. Known as crossover cuisine, the dishes served in these restaurants often involve
intriguing and unusual combinations. There's something for everyone's taste.
