Frantzén

My first time at Frantzén was in 2012 when it was still called Frantzén/Lindeberg. Cutting edge “New Nordic” cuisine was at its peak back then, but Bjorn Frantzén was one of the few Scandinavian chefs who didn’t follows the fashionable trends religiously, instead, he always focused on what was the…

Oaxen Krog & Slip on Stockholm’s Djurgarden Island is really two restaurants under a single roof: Slip is a more informal bistro, while Krog is a two-Michelin-star establishment which I had the pleasure of eating at on a recent visit to Stockholm. There was no seating left in the restaurant…

Ekstedt

Chef Niklas Ekstedt is doing something different at his Stockholm restaurant Ekstedt: he’s eliminated electricity from the cooking process. As he explains on the Ekstedt website, there are “no electric cookers, no gas burners; just heat, soot, ash, smoke and fire” in the kitchen. Ekstedt’s team uses the fire pit,…

Matbaren is the more casual version of the adjoining Matsalen (2 Michelin stars) by Mathias Dahlgren at Grand Hotel in Stockholm. An inviting U-shaped counter offers an even more informal experience and seating for drop-ins. The menu may change up to twice daily, which is all a part of Dahlgren’s “natural…

With two Michelin stars under the belt and consistently rated among the World’s 50 Best Restaurants, Björn Frantzén’s elegant establishment is one of the best in Scandinavia and one of my personal favourites. On my third and most recent visit, I was once again impressed by the quality of the…

Frantzén revisited

I’ve written about Frantzén restaurant (at that time- Frantzén/Lindeberg) one year ago, so I won’t elaborate on it too much, but for me Björn Frantzén is one of those chefs who have a natural talent to think outside of the box without trying to change the world. And when I think…

Since I’ve visited Restaurant Frantzén one year ago, it has turned into a mini empire. Just across the street of THE 2 Michelin starred restaurant, you will find a gastro pub called The Flying Elk (Mälartorget, 111 27 Stockholm; tel. +46 8 20 85 83, Sweden ), Bjorn’s Frantzen take…

Frantzén/Lindeberg

Frantzén/ Lindeberg is about what many new wave gastronomy restaurants are not. Delicious, great-tasting food. The 2 Michelin stars place is run by two brilliant Swedish chefs Björn Frantzén and Daniel Lindeberg who are obsessed with perfect ingredients ( 95 % of which come from Sweden and neighbouring countries). Because…

It would be an understatement to call Frantzén/Lindeberg in Stockholm a great restaurant. It’s an extraordinary restaurant definitely worth a 2.5-hour flight from another part of Europe. Post with all the images coming very soon…
