"Scattered among the counter seats, rustic sofas, and Windsor chairs at Matbaren is a dynamic mix of diners that includes international travelers, power-lunchers, savvy Instagrammers, and other locals, all hooked on the restaurant’s particular brand of Nordic comfort cuisine. Chef-owner Mathias Dahlgren, winner of the of the Bocuse d’Or in 1997, is behind the menu, which fuses Swedish culinary tradition with peak local produce. The funky interior by British designer Ilse Crawford and jaw-dropping views of the bay and the Royal Castle only add to the charm. [$$$$]" - Per Styregård
