The best Christmas smorgasbords (julbord) in Stockholm 2021

In a genuine 1930s spirit, the Christmas dinner offers the best from the other side of the Atlantic mixed with classic Swedish Christmas flavors. The dishes are shared, and you eat them together at the tables where you are served everything from cold cuts to delicious desserts. Before or after the Christmas meal, you can then challenge each other in mini-golf and see who’s the party’s number 1 when it comes to hole-in-ones – guaranteed to lift everyone’s (Christmas) mood. It’s possible to book a Christmas dinner for up to 80 people, and you can choose either lunch or dinner. Take the Christmas party with your friends, colleagues, or family to a new level at Swing by Golfbaren!

If you want to enjoy a Christmas buffet in a unique building from Sweden’s 15th century, you should head towards Järntorget in Old Town, more specifically the restaurant Tre Valv. Just as it sounds, the restaurant consists of three rustic vaults, perfectly preserved and restored. The vaults will be decorated for the holidays, and this is also where the Christmas tables are set. You’re greeted with a glass of mulled wine, and then you can enjoy a buffet of traditional Christmas food mixed with some new elements. There’s also a large vegetarian menu if you prefer that. If you want to sit separately, it’s possible to book a private vault for you and your company. Feel free to step into this historic atmosphere for a Christmas buffet you’ll remember for a long time!

The rich buffet with both cold and hot dishes has everything you can imagine – all the classics, specialties, and several unexpected modern surprises. Everything is carefully made on site by skilled chefs. The evening begins with homemade mulled wine and mingling in the lounge and ends with a first-class dessert table. In addition, Josefina offers an entirely vegan Christmas buffet, appreciated by many.

The spacious premises have room for up to 500 people – perfect for companies and large parties – and everything is carefully planned to avoid congestion. Companies can also book their own private premises. In short – if you want to experience a Christmas table beyond the ordinary with high-class Christmas food, a wonderful spirit, and an unbeatable atmosphere, you should go for Josefina.

Stockholm is known as the Venice of the North, so having a Christmas dinner out on the sea is a perfect combination of sightseeing and Swedish Christmas food. On the boat Vindhem you’ll find all the traditional Swedish dishes you can wish for – herring, Christmas ham, chipolata sausage, Jansson’s temptation, salmon and lutfisk (preserved cod) to name just a few of the delights. While enjoying the food, a troubadour plays specially selected music. A perfect Christmas table for the whole family.

At The Old Smokehouse, you celebrate the most glorious holiday of the year in the form of a Christmas-inspired three-course menu that tastes like the American South. Of course, the restaurant’s BBQ plate is the main number. So, you’ll definitely not leave hungry! With the food, you can also enjoy a warm and intimate concert with Albin Lee Meldau. Albin plays on five evenings (you buy tickets at the website), and we suggest you book your seats early. A cozy evening in front of the fire in the spirit of food and music is, in short, the perfect way to get in the right Christmas mode.

Another Italian Christmas buffet can be found at restaurant Trattorian, which is beautifully located on the waterfront of Norr Mälarstrand. In the country-style dining room, you can enjoy a wide range of dishes from all over Italy, such as Sicilian fish, Tuscan cheese and pasta from Rome. The Christmas dinner ends with homemade sweets and digestivo.
