The best meals are surprising in their simplicity. Enjoy the Swedish cuisine!
Nationalmuseum's restaurant serves delightful Swedish dishes that are rooted in tradition yet quintessentially contemporary. Made with local Nordic ingredients of the highest quality.
There's something for everyone at our restaurant: enjoy a leisurely lunch with friends, an afterwork drink with colleagues, or freshly baked pastries and coffee for 'fika'. You're in Sweden, after all.
In the evening, the restaurant turns into the nation’s most beautiful events space, with a splendid view over Strömmen and the Royal Palace.

Stockholm’s most intricately designed restaurant
Like the rest of the museum building, the interior of the restaurant was carefully curated. Some of Sweden's leading designers and artisans designed everything from the tableware to the furniture and fittings.
