Cosy restaurants in Djurgården
Tradition meets modernity
Restaurant Prinsens Kök is the restaurant at Prince Eugen Waldemarsudde, where the original decor has been preserved with tiled walls, wooden cupboards, iron and marble shelves, an old iron stove, and a sink featuring details in marble and copper. Today, there is a wonderfully light dining room where you can enjoy coffee and lunch. An entrance ticket to the museum is required, so take the opportunity to combine your meal with a visit to the exhibitions.

Hearty bistro on the waterfront
Restaurang Slipen is an ambitious mid-range restaurant, housed in the premises that were formerly home to Michelin-starred restaurant, Oaxen. The complex is right on the waterfront and has extremely high ceilings, with floor to ceiling windows. Wooden rowing boats and other marine details hang from the ceiling, and the rest of the interiors ooze rural archipelago style.
