Ekstedt
A one-Michelin-star Nordic restaurant with no electricity in the kitchen; everything is cooked over open flame, embers and wood-fired stoves.
Ekstedt is at Humlegårdsgatan 17 in Östermalm and is led by celebrated chef Niklas Ekstedt, holder of one Michelin star. The kitchen runs without any electricity. All dishes are cooked over open flames, embers or wood-fired stoves, recreating ancient Nordic cooking methods. The meal begins with a kitchen tour, and the first course is an oyster bite grilled over the fire in a cone-shaped iron vessel. Highlights include juniper-smoked reindeer loin with beetroot sauce and bone marrow. Only a tasting menu is offered, starting from about SEK 2,900 (excluding drinks), and booking 2–4 weeks ahead is recommended. It is about a 5-minute walk from Östermalmstorg metro station.
