Stranden

Seducing at first glance with its unbeatable views of Ulvsunda Lake and laid-back atmosphere, the restaurant Stranden on Kungsholmen in Stockholm seems to have it all. Presenting a menu that offers main courses and exquisite small plates with a focus on Swedish cuisine, the tables spill out during the warmer months onto their terrace, Stranden is a delightful place to while away an evening with a drink.

Start with classic such as Stranden’s seafood toast with shrimps, lobster, mayonnaise, dill and lemon, or their whitefish roe with crème fraiche from Väddö farm, finely-cut red onion, chives and buttery fried toast, then either tuck into their popular main courses from the grill or their menu staples, which include flank steak with French fries, red wine sauce and béarnaise, and meatballs with a creamy sauce, mashed potatoes and lingonberries. Stranden has the perfect drinks to team with your meal, whether you’re after wine, beer or opting for something alcohol-free.

Unhurried authentic dining in beautiful surroundings, Stranden at Hornsbergs Strand 101 is worth discovering and it is just a short walk from the metro stations of Stadshagen and Kristineberg.
