Östermalm’s best restaurants

Noema’s menu is built around snacks, sharing plates, and grilled dishes where meat takes the spotlight, though there are also fish and vegetarian options. The best way to experience the kitchen’s vision is to order several dishes and share. To pair with the food, there’s a broad wine list and a cocktail bar where the drinks are crafted with as much care as the menu. On weekends, Noema also serves a brunch that blends classic favorites with modern twists – the perfect way to kick off the weekend.

The kitchen is rooted in traditional Lebanese cooking, inspired by family recipes, while also taking cues from other parts of the world. The menu is designed for sharing, built around meze, grilled dishes, and thoughtfully crafted combinations. Expect everything from spreads, falafel, and handmade pastries to lamb sweetbreads, grilled octopus, and heartier plates from the grill. A generous wine list focused on Lebanon and France, along with a well-stocked bar, rounds out the experience. All in all, Tête is a natural choice if you want to enjoy Lebanese cuisine in a stylish setting in Östermalm.

Overlooking Nybrogatan, the restaurant seats around 150 people and has two chambre séparée rooms. The velvet and brass decor is cozy and welcoming. At Beirut Café, guests such as Taylor Swift, Jay-Z and Lady Gaga have enjoyed everything on offer.

The obvious star of Beirut Café is of course the delicious food prepared on the grill. The ingredients for their meze are always the best and everything is prepared from scratch. Their meze is also perfect for sharing. The drink menu is also an exciting journey of discovery, with Lebanese vintage wines and drinks that have an oriental touch in the form of saffron, orange and figs.

You can tell that they care about their guests. Beirut Café is an Östermalm restaurant where nothing is left to chance.

How about enjoying delicious Japanese cuisine in a luxurious yet lively environment where anything can happen? Then you should visit Kasai on Linnégatan, a Japanese fusion restaurant, and cocktail bar. Since 2016 they’ve offered Stockholmers and visitors a limitless experience in everything from food and drink to service and entertainment. Choose the elegant dining room in the restaurant’s atmospheric Dinner Club or book their Chambre séparée, where your party can sit in private. Regardless of your choice, you as a guest are always at the center.

The menu offers high-class Japanese food prepared from quality ingredients. If you love sushi, you will definitely get your fill. Besides the traditional Japanese favorite dish, you can also find sashimi, maki, nigiri, and gunkan. If you’re in the mood for something else from Japanese cuisine, Kasai offers izakaya, robata (grilled dishes), and omakase (the chef’s favorites), both with meat, fish, and vegetarian. The drinks menu maintains the same high level and offers wine, beer, non-alcoholic, and sake. Plus a large selection of magical cocktails with exciting flavors.

Kasai is perfect for both lunch, brunch, dinner, after work, and parties. And no matter when you come, it’ll be a visit to remember at one of Östermalm’s best restaurants.

In a lush and slightly hidden courtyard, a stone’s throw from Storgatan, you’ll find one of Östermalm’s (and Stockholm’s) true restaurant gems, Restaurang Oxenstiernan. A green oasis in the middle of the city. The restaurant is located in Oxenstiernska Malmgården, a magnificent and listed building from the 18th century that has been transformed into an inspiring meeting place for sustainable food and drink, design, and quality craftsmanship. In short, guests are offered the best Sweden has to offer – in everything from carrots to porcelain. Proof that they have succeeded with their ambitions is that they have been awarded a green Michelin star.

The menu focuses on Swedish food craftsmanship in the kitchen, where classic flavors and creative flair meet under the guidance of renowned chef Elvira Lindqvist. The result is delightful. The menu is constantly changing, so every time you eat lunch or dinner here, you can enjoy new and exciting dishes. But no matter what’s on the menu, it’s all about local, sustainable, and seasonal ingredients. And Oxenstiernan is not the place for a quick meal – instead, you get an experience for all the senses. In summer, there is also a fantastic outdoor terrace with sunshine all day, where you can enjoy food and drink under the trees. The kitchen moves outdoors for open-fire barbecues and stone oven pizzas.

Oxenstiernan is run by silversmith Sebastian Schildt (his workshop is next door to the restaurant), and his passion for genuine craftsmanship and quality is evident in everything from the food to the decor. The beautiful dining room is decorated with new unique designs made in Sweden by Swedish designers. In other words, every item has a story – many of them are for sale. You can buy everything from glasses and plates to vases and cloth napkins. The restaurant also has a chambre séparée, and you can rent the entire space for weddings, private parties, and events.

If any restaurant can compete with Sturehof’s icon status, it’s PA&Co. This classic establishment dates back to the mid-80s. In 2006, a new group of restaurateurs took over and created the restaurant as we know it today. Lovely, intimate, loud atmosphere full of fantastic restaurant noise, excellent food and drink, and a place to be seen. You’ll find it on the hilltop of Riddargatan, and when you enter through the doors, you immediately understand why PA & Co is one of Östermalm’s absolute best restaurants.

The duo Adam and Albin have taken their place on Stockholm’s restaurant map and consolidated it over the years. Among their four restaurants, it’s Adam/Albin that showcases their original style and noblest cuisine. The menu has its origins in Nordic cuisine and is described as a gastronomic dining experience where they redefine the otherwise exclusive meal with a passion for exceptional ingredients. In other words, their fine dining restaurant is well worth a visit to Rådmansgatan.

At Tessinparken, a stone’s throw from the mall Fältöversten, you’ll find the restaurant gem Stockholms Glass- & Pastahus. Here on Valhallavägen, they’ve served tasty food from the Italian kitchen since the mid-1980s. And this family-owned and guest-friendly restaurant was actually one of the city’s pasta pioneers when they started to offer the Italian favorite that’s now a natural part of Swedish food culture. The guests have appreciated their concept over the years, and today the restaurant has many regulars.

The menu includes a wide range of Italian delicacies prepared from scratch with love and top-quality ingredients. How about a classic Carbonara, a fresh Linguine Scampi, or a delicious Risotto Funghi? Or why not a tasty pizza with your favorite toppings? No matter what you choose, you’re guaranteed to be full and happy. Stockholm Glass- & Pastahus is open from morning to evening, so you can have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There’s also a fresh deli for those who want to buy goodies to take home. And don’t miss out on their amazing ice cream before you leave (or order their famous cakes and pastries for your next party).

Nybrogatan 38 could be called the neighborhood restaurant of the neighborhood restaurants in Östermalm. Located at the same address as the name reveals, this favorite always offers a great atmosphere, perfect service, and a very nice selection on the menus. Here you can enjoy several popular classics, and it’s a lot of regulars in both the dining room and the bar. The menu is French-inspired with fun elements from other parts of Europe, and the same goes for the wine list. Here you can have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and takeaway.

Halv Grek plus Turk has been located in the somewhat hidden street corner of Jungfrugatan / Tyskbagargatan since 1996. And the ingenious name reveals the type of food served here – the best from the eastern Mediterranean region. The fact that this gem has delighted Östermalm for so many years shows that the restaurant always delivers good food and a fun atmosphere. A different and wonderful addition to the more traditional restaurants in the same area. It’s a great choice for both small and large parties, and they also offer a Chambre separée.
