Every summer, especially during late July and early August, visitors to Stockholm who are interested in haute cuisine are disappointed to find out that the top tier restaurants (Michelin rated and such) close for a few weeks. This is mainly due to the generous Swedish vacation rules and the fact that many top restaurants feel that they can't offer excellent service with summer replacement staff. Another reason, perhaps, is that most Stockholmers leave the city during this period and there aren't enough visiting "foodies" to fill these types of restaurants. At any rate, the good news is that several of these top tier restaurants have some other options during these weeks... and you always have a plethora of great summer restaurants to choose from!
- Restaurant Frantzén (former Frantzén/Lindeberg)- closed between July 14th and August 16th.
- Flying Elk- closed between July 14th and August 16th.
- Mathias Dahlgren- closed between July 12th and August 5th.

Fjäderholmarnas Krog- a good choice for summer! |
