Best Restaurants Awarded in the White Guide 2014

A day after the Oscars were awarded in Hollywood, the Oscars of the Swedish culinary world were handed out here in Stockholm by the White Guide. What I like about the White Guide is that it is a complete guide to restaurants in all of Sweden, done by Swedes (as opposed to international guides- like the Michelin Guide). The awards are given in a wide array of categories and Stockholm restaurants nabbed many top spots... though this year has seen more restaurants from the rest of Sweden getting awards, which is good news for Sweden! Stockholm restaurants also feature prominently on the White Guide's lists of Swedish restaurants in the categories "International Master Class" and "Master Class". Here are how Stockholm restaurants fared...

• Best Restaurant: Esperanto Second year in a row...
• Best Culinary Experience: Oaxen Krog
• Up-and-Comer of the Year: Lilla Ego
• Swedish Gastronomic Accolade of the Year: Stefano Catenacci from Operakällaren
