Folii
The concept is an undeniable success. Since its launch in 2017, it has won several awards, including DN’s Gulddraken for Best Bar and White Guide’s Drinking Experience of the Year. Moreover, the New York Times has recommended this wine bar in Södermalm and urges anyone visiting Stockholm to spend their first night at Folii. It’s no wonder people flock here – and you’ll have to hope for a seat because you can’t book a table in advance.
If you also want something good to eat, move to the Voisine restaurant on the same premises. It serves modern and well-prepared bistro food with its roots mainly in French and Swedish cuisine. And if you want to immerse yourself in the world of noble grape drinks, visit Folii’s wine tastings, organized regularly with different themes (including tailor-made tastings for closed groups).

Tyge & Sessil
The wine café focuses primarily on small producers working as close to nature as possible, so Tyge & Sessil is an excellent choice if you want to try natural wines.

The idea is to offer their guests genuine drinking pleasure and inspire them to discover new flavors. The small kitchen serves delicious entrees such as steak tartare, focaccia, and tortellini and also has a range of snacks to enjoy with the wine. No table reservations.

Ambar
The wine list includes not only orange wines but also many other types of wines, many of which have a natural focus. You can also order beer and spirits. And because orange wine goes perfectly with Asian food, Ambar’s simple yet delicious menu consists of Japanese home cooking and modern bar dishes with more unusual flavors.
