Best Restaurants Open Sunday in Stockholm 2026

Why a Sunday list matters in Stockholm

The casualties of a Stockholm Sunday are the rooms most visitors travel for. Frantzen on Klara Norra, Aira out on Biskopsudden, Ekstedt with its wood fire and Sushi Sho on Upplandsgatan all close that night, the kitchens resting to reset produce and the brigade. Adam Albin, reopened in 2026, keeps the same Monday-to-Saturday week. Land at the weekend's tail expecting a star and a concierge will often steer you to a hotel dining room. The list below gives a better answer.

What stays open is the brasserie, the husmanskost house and the meat room built for a longer week, plus the all-day Brasserie Astoria, which treats Sunday as a service day. The order leads with that Michelin Guide brasserie, then runs to the Djurgarden bistro, the Kungsholmen steakhouse, the Asian room at Berzelii Park and the classic Sodermalm beer hall. Every hour was checked against each restaurant's published schedule in June 2026, and the closures above were confirmed too. Each name links to its full review with the score. For the wider week, start with the Stockholm dining guide, and for the start of the week see restaurants open on Monday in Stockholm.

The Sunday list

Brasserie Astoria

French-Nordic brasserie · Ostermalm, Stockholm · 600–900 kr per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, 12:00–00:00 (continuous)

Brasserie Astoria fills the old Astoria cinema on Nybrogatan, a grand art-deco room run by Bjorn Frantzen's group and listed in the Michelin Guide. The kitchen runs French-Nordic brasserie cooking, the steak frites, the rotisserie chicken and the cold seafood plateau the orders, with a meal about 600 to 900 kronor a head. It opens Sunday from midday to midnight, the longest and most polished Sunday service in the city, while the group's flagship across town is closed. It is the best Sunday table in Stockholm and the one to book first, so reserve a booth a few days out.

Oaxen Slip

Nordic bistro · Djurgarden, Stockholm · 500–800 kr per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, 12:00–22:00

Oaxen Slip is the bistro beside Magnus Ek's two-star Oaxen Krog on the waterfront at Djurgarden, a former boatyard turned dining room with the harbour at the window. The kitchen runs a wood-fired Nordic menu, the moules frites and the day's catch the orders, with a meal about 500 to 800 kronor a head. It opens Sunday across midday and into the evening, a weekend brunch flowing into dinner. It is the pick for a Sunday that wants serious cooking without the Krog's tasting-menu commitment, a long table by the water on the green island.

Restaurang AG

Steakhouse · Kungsholmen, Stockholm · 600–1,000 kr per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, dinner from 17:00 (confirm by phone)

Restaurang AG sits on Kronobergsgatan on Kungsholmen, a meat room run by chef Johan Jureskog with a glass locker of dry-aged beef by the door. The cuts are the point, the porterhouse, the club and the ribeye hung in-house, with a meal about 600 to 1,000 kronor a head. Its own schedule lists Sunday dinner from five, one of its quieter services, though hours can shift outside high season so call to confirm. It is the pick for a Sunday that wants red meat and a big Swedish wine list rather than small Nordic plates.

Berns Asiatiska

Pan-Asian · Norrmalm (Berzelii Park), Stockholm · 400–700 kr per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, from 11:30 (lunch through dinner)

Berns Asiatiska occupies the grand 1860s salon of the Berns hotel at Berzelii Park, a gilded ballroom that now plates a pan-Asian menu under the chandeliers. The dim sum, the wok dishes and the robata are the orders, with a meal about 400 to 700 kronor a head. It opens Sunday from late morning, lunch running through to dinner, one of the few rooms of this scale to do so. It is the pick for a Sunday with a group or for a grand room without a fine-dining price, the most theatrical setting on this list.

Pelikan

Classic Swedish · Sodermalm, Stockholm · 300–500 kr per head

Sunday hours: Sunday, 11:30–01:00

Pelikan on Blekingegatan in Sodermalm is a beer-hall dining room serving husmanskost, the high-ceilinged wood-panelled room a Stockholm institution. The kitchen runs Swedish classics, the meatballs with lingonberry, the pickled herring board and the reindeer the orders, with a meal about 300 to 500 kronor a head. It opens Sunday from half past eleven to one in the morning, continuous service. It is the value pick of this list and the most local, the table a Stockholmer takes a visitor for a long, unhurried Sunday of classic cooking and a cold aquavit.

How to book a Sunday table in Stockholm

Because the stars all rest on Sunday, the brasseries are the rooms to plan around. Brasserie Astoria runs the longest and most polished Sunday service, so book a booth a few days out, especially in the dark winter months when the city eats indoors. Oaxen Slip fills for its waterfront brunch on Djurgarden, so reserve ahead for a window table. Restaurang AG runs a quieter Sunday and a same-week call usually holds, though confirm the hours by phone outside high season. Berns Asiatiska and Pelikan both take large tables and walk-ins more readily, but the prime seats go first. For a solo Sunday, the counter at Brasserie Astoria and the bar at Berns are the easiest seats and a fine solo-dining move. Entertaining a client? Brasserie Astoria is the room to impress a client in Stockholm; for a group, Berns Asiatiska seats a crowd for a Stockholm team dinner.

Frequently asked questions

Are any Michelin restaurants open on Sunday in Stockholm?

Barely. The Swedish week is built around a weekend rest, so the stars and the tasting rooms all close Sunday: Frantzen, Aira, Ekstedt, Adam Albin and Sushi Sho are dark. The one Michelin Guide name that opens Sunday is Brasserie Astoria, the all-day brasserie from Bjorn Frantzen's group, listed in the guide rather than starred. For a Sunday in Stockholm, plan around it and the handful of brasseries below. See the wider Stockholm dining guide for the rest of the week.

Is Brasserie Astoria open on Sunday in Stockholm?

Yes. Brasserie Astoria, the Frantzen-group brasserie inside the old Astoria cinema on Nybrogatan in Ostermalm, opens Sunday from midday to midnight, continuous service. The kitchen runs French-Nordic brasserie classics, the steak frites and the seafood plateau the orders, with a meal about 600 to 900 kronor a head. It is the most polished Sunday table in the city and the one to book first, so reserve a few days out for a window booth in the art-deco room.

Why do so many Stockholm restaurants close on Sunday?

Swedish fine dining keeps a short week and rests around the weekend's end, so Sunday and Monday are the common closing nights. The tasting rooms reset produce and rest the brigade, so Frantzen, Aira, Ekstedt and Sushi Sho all go dark on a Sunday. The rooms that stay open are the brasseries and the classic husmanskost houses that run a longer week by design, plus the all-day Brasserie Astoria, which chooses Sunday as a service day.

Where can I get a Sunday steak in Stockholm?

Restaurang AG on Kungsholmen, the meat room run by chef Johan Jureskog. Its own schedule lists Sunday dinner from 17:00, with dry-aged porterhouse, club and ribeye cuts hung in the glass locker by the door, and a meal about 600 to 1,000 kronor a head. Sunday is one of its quieter services, so a same-week booking usually holds. Call ahead to confirm, as Sunday hours can shift outside high season. See the best steakhouses worldwide for more.

Where can I eat traditional Swedish food on a Sunday in Stockholm?

Pelikan on Sodermalm, a beer-hall dining room serving husmanskost since the 1600s in its current trade. It opens Sunday from 11:30 to one in the morning, with meatballs, pickled herring and reindeer on the menu, and a meal about 300 to 500 kronor a head. It is the value pick of this list and the most local, the room a Stockholmer takes a visitor for a long, unhurried Sunday of classic Swedish cooking and aquavit.
