Best Winter Restaurants in Stockholm
Mancini
This cozy, Italian restaurant is tucked away in a 19th century building on Tunnelgatan near Hötorget. With a large choice of wines and candlelit tables, Mancini is a wonderful place for a romantic dinner in the winter.
Meno Male
With four locations in Stockholm and affordable prices, Meno Male is a favorite for excellent Naples-style pizzas during the winter months. Reservations are not accepted, but come early in the evening to grab a seat.
Chela’s
This Mexican restaurant near Hornstull offers authentic dishes with a modern twist. All the ingredients are fresh and the service is outstanding. Be sure to make a reservation, as the small size and popularity of Chela’s can sometimes make it difficult to find a table.
Pelikan
Pelikan is a classic Swedish institution that’s been running since 1904 where you can enjoy authentic Swedish food in a beautiful environment. Located very close to Medborgarplatsen tunnelbana station, this gem is easy to locate and often has plenty of seating, but it’s always best to make a reservation just to be sure you secure a spot.
