The most respected restaurant in the Stockholm archipelago — recommended by the White Guide and consistently regarded as a destination in its own right. The kitchen is built around local, seasonal ingredients, with the menu changing with the produce rather than the other way around. Three and five course menus are the format, served on a terrace overlooking the bay or in a cosy indoor setting when the weather turns. The wine list is equally considered, recognised by Star Wine List for its quality and range. Reachable by private or communal boat from Stockholm. Book in advance.
A landmark since 1906, Grinda Wärdshus is one of the most celebrated restaurants in the Stockholm archipelago. Classic Swedish cuisine, a terrace overlooking Saxarfjärden, and a more casual harbour restaurant at the water's edge. Reachable by public or private boat from central Stockholm in about an hour.
Vaxholm's most beloved café, and for good reason. Set in a 19th century heritage building right by the water, Hembygdsgårds Café is the kind of place that feels like it has always been there — because it has. The menu is classic Swedish: Toast Skagen with hand-peeled shrimp, cold-smoked salmon, fresh waffles, and a legendary cake buffet that's hard to walk past. In summer, the garden terrace fills up quickly, with views across the water and an atmosphere that is entirely unhurried. A natural stop on any visit to Vaxholm, whether arriving by boat or by car.
A small, unpretentious spot on Gummerholmen in the outer archipelago, not far from Sandhamn. The kitchen is built around a wood-fired oven — Neapolitan-style pizzas made with quality ingredients, served outside on a terrace surrounded by water and pine trees. Simple, done well, in a setting that's hard to beat. Open Wednesday to Sunday through the summer season. Reachable by private or communal boat.
A Sandhamn institution since the 1600s. The menu is rooted in Swedish archipelago classics — fresh seafood, smoked salmon, and seasonal ingredients served without fuss. In summer, the harbour terrace is one of the finest spots in the archipelago for a long lunch or an unhurried dinner.
Sandhamn is one of the outermost islands of the Stockholm archipelago and arguably its most celebrated destination — a small, car-free island with a harbour that draws sailors, guests, and locals all summer long. Reachable by private or communal boat.
Founded in 1966, Wermdö Golf & Country Club is one of Stockholm's most celebrated destinations — an 18-hole course designed by Nils Sköld, set against the natural beauty of the archipelago. The layout is as strategic as it is scenic, and the club has earned a reputation that speaks for itself among those who know it.
Beyond golf, the club offers tennis, a pool, and a country club atmosphere that invites you to stay longer than planned. The restaurant serves classic Swedish cuisine — honest, seasonal, and well worth the trip on its own.
Wermdö is accessible by car or boat, making it a natural addition to any stay in the archipelago.
Tucked away on a small island in Stockholm's inner archipelago, just ten minutes from the city center, Bockholmen is one of those places that feels further away than it is. A charming turn-of-the-century villa, a summer bar right by the water, and a kitchen rooted in clean Scandinavian flavours with a nod to the Mediterranean. The setting — green, quiet, and waterfront — makes it a natural escape for a long lunch or dinner. Reachable by car, subway, or private boat.
The closest archipelago restaurant to Stockholm, just 25 minutes by boat from the city center. Classic Swedish cooking with a strong focus on fish and seafood, served right on the water as boats pass in and out of the harbor. The island itself is well worth the trip — beautiful walking paths, several restaurants and cafés, and a craft microbrewery. A perfect half-day out from the city. Reachable by public or private boat.
One of Stockholm's most enduring institutions, Ulla Winbladh has been serving classic Swedish cuisine on the island of Djurgården since the 1950s — in a building originally constructed for the 1897 World Fair. The menu is a celebration of Swedish tradition: Toast Skagen, pickled herring, meatballs, fried strömming. The setting is as charming as the food — parkland surroundings, a terrace for summer evenings, and interiors that feel genuinely rooted in another era. Listed in the Michelin Guide as a Bib Gourmand. A natural stop when exploring Djurgården and its museums.
One of Stockholm's most sought-after restaurants — a two-Michelin-star experience on the waterfront of Djurgården, led by chefs Tommy Myllymäki and Pi Le. The menu is rooted in Nordic produce and traditional techniques, evolving with the seasons and drawing on flavours from around the world. The building sits right at the water's edge, designed to resemble a boat house. A private dining room for up to 14 guests is available for exclusive occasions. Reachable by car or boat.
