Tranan
A classic tavern across from Odenplan since 1929, known for its off-menu meatballs and Biff Rydberg.
Tranan is at Karlbergsvägen 14 in Vasastan, right by Odenplan metro station. It has been a local favorite since 1929. Candlelit tables are close together, the atmosphere is lively, and the basement bar is popular at night. The menu is classic Swedish tavern fare: Biff Rydberg (diced beef tenderloin with fried onions, potatoes and horseradish), herring, and steak tartare. Meatballs are not printed on the menu but can be ordered at any time, served with lingonberries and mashed potatoes. Prices are mid-range, and locals recommend booking ahead.
