Best Restaurants Open Monday in Stockholm 2026

Stockholm keeps Nordic hours at the top end. Frantzen, Aira and Aloe all go dark on Sunday and Monday, and Ekstedt and Sushi Sho close with them, so Monday is the city's hardest night for a serious table. The field narrows to a handful of upscale rooms that stay open, led by the one Michelin-starred kitchen that takes Monday bookings. Five confirm their Monday hours below, ranked by what each is for, in Swedish kronor. Every hour was checked against each restaurant's published schedule in June 2026.

Why a Monday list matters in Stockholm

Stockholm is a Monday problem in a way that holiday cities are not. The kitchens that define the city, the three-star Frantzen, the two-star Aira and Aloe, and the wood-fire room at Ekstedt, all close on Sunday and Monday, and the omakase counter Sushi Sho with them. A diner who lands at the start of the week finds the top of the guide shut and the field cut to a handful of rooms that choose to stay open.

Those rooms are worth knowing. The order below leads with Adam/Albin, the one Michelin star in the centre that takes Monday bookings, then runs to Bjorn Frantzen's grand brasserie, Niklas Ekstedt's neighbourhood room, the city's definitive steakhouse and the most spectacular dining hall in town. Every hour was checked against each restaurant's published schedule in June 2026, and every name links to its full review with the score. For the rest of the week, start with the Stockholm dining guide.

The Monday list

1

Adam/Albin

Modern Nordic tasting · central Stockholm · ~3,000 SEK five-course

Monday hours: Monday, dinner 18:00–01:00 (closed Sunday)

Adam Dahlberg and Albin Wessman run the most serious chef-owned tasting room in central Stockholm, and in 2026 the kitchen holds a Michelin star. The format is unusual: five courses, cooked largely over open flames, with guests choosing their own dishes after the opening snacks, around 3,000 SEK a head. It opens Monday for dinner, six in the evening until one, and closes instead on Sunday. Because it rests Sunday rather than Monday, a Monday is one of the easier nights to land the city's most coveted starred seat. Book the tasting for an occasion.

Brasserie Astoria

French brasserie · Ostermalm, Stockholm · a la carte

Monday hours: Monday, 11:30–24:00

Bjorn Frantzen's grand European brasserie fills the old Astoria cinema at Nybrogatan 15 in Ostermalm, a room that seats well over a hundred under a sweeping balcony. The cooking is classic brasserie, seafood platters and roast meats, and the wine list runs deep in Burgundy and Champagne at fair prices for the level. It opens Monday from half past eleven to midnight, lunch through dinner without a break. The scale makes it unusually practical for a larger party or a Monday business dinner, and the service holds its standard even when the room is full.

Hillenberg

Brasserie · Ostermalm, Stockholm · a la carte

Monday hours: Monday, 11:30–23:00

Niklas Ekstedt's neighbourhood brasserie on Humlegardsgatan in Ostermalm is where Stockholm's most knowledgeable diners go for exceptional food without the ceremony of a tasting menu. The kitchen cooks southern European dishes flirting with Scandinavian produce, served in a warm, amber-lit room built for long evenings. It opens Monday from half past eleven to eleven, lunch through dinner. Priced well under the city's fixed menus and ordered a la carte, it is the value pick on this list, the room for a relaxed but properly cooked Monday.

4

Restaurang AG

Steakhouse · Kungsholmen, Stockholm · dry-aged beef

Monday hours: Monday, 17:00–24:00

Restaurang AG takes its name from the old silver factory, Aktiebolaget Guld, that houses it on Kronobergsgatan in Kungsholmen. Chef Johan Jureskog turned the industrial space into Stockholm's definitive meat restaurant, the dry-aged beef hung in glass cabinets by the entrance and grilled to order. It opens Monday from five in the evening to midnight. Every table here is a power table, and the steak is irreproachable, which makes a Monday at AG the city's best room for a deal-closing dinner over beef and a deep Bordeaux list.

5

Berns Asiatiska

Pan-Asian · Norrmalm, Stockholm · grand room

Monday hours: Monday, 11:30–23:30

Berns Salonger opened Sweden's first Chinese restaurant in 1944, and more than eighty years on the tradition runs inside the preserved 19th-century hall at Berzelii Park, a palace of gilded ceilings, mirrors and Belle Epoque chandeliers. The kitchen cooks pan-Asian dishes, dim sum, wok plates and grilled skewers, in what is the most spectacular dining room in central Stockholm. It opens Monday from half past eleven to half past eleven at night. Book it for a birthday or a celebration on a Monday when the city's quieter rooms cannot match the setting.

How to book a Monday table in Stockholm

Monday in Stockholm is about which doors are open rather than how far ahead to book. Adam/Albin is the prize, and because it closes Sunday rather than Monday, a Monday is one of the better nights to get the starred tasting, so reserve a week or two out. Brasserie Astoria seats more than a hundred and rarely needs much notice, which makes it the easy choice for a larger Monday party or a working dinner. Restaurang AG fills in the evening, so book the dining room rather than the bar for a prime slot. Hillenberg and Berns both take walk-ins but reward a reservation after seven. For a solo Monday, the bar at AG or a counter seat at Hillenberg are the easiest solo-dining moves; entertaining a client, Brasserie Astoria and AG are the rooms to impress a client in Stockholm; for a group celebration, Berns Asiatiska seats a crowd under the chandeliers for a Stockholm team dinner.

Five of them, led by the one-star Adam/Albin, confirm Monday service below. For the rest of the week, see the Stockholm dining guide.
