A Stockholm restaurant classic since 1897
Prinsen has been part of Stockholm since 1897. And some things are not meant to be changed.
In the middle of Stockholm, a stone's throw from Stureplan, Bibliotekstan and the Royal Dramatic Theatre, Prinsen has been a natural meeting place for generations. Stockholmers and visitors from all over the world, writers, actors, artists and business people have taken their seats at these tables. For the business lunch. The family dinner. A glass at the bar. The long Sunday dinner. Or the evening that ran considerably later than planned.
Stockholm has changed. Prinsen has endured.
The hum of conversation, the regulars and the classic setting are all still here. So is a kitchen built around dishes that never need to be modern to be relevant.
Biff Rydberg. Wallenbergare. Prinsen's hand-rolled meatballs. Dishes that have become as much a part of Prinsen as Prinsen has become a part of Stockholm. Prinsen is not just a restaurant with history. It is part of Stockholm's restaurant history – a living classic since 1897.
Stockholm classics on the plate
At Prinsen, a classic does not need to be reinvented. It needs to be done really well.
Our kitchen stands firmly in the Swedish culinary tradition, with French influences, carefully chosen produce and craftsmanship that lives in the hands. Here we serve the dishes guests have returned for, generation after generation.

Swedish classics that belong at Prinsen, cooked from scratch, with respect for tradition and the same care every day.
Wine has its natural place at the table too. Our wine cellar holds carefully selected bottles, and our sommeliers are happy to help you find the right wine for your meal. At Prinsen it should be easy to eat well, drink well and stay a little longer than you first intended.
Swedish culinary tradition. Classic dishes. A Stockholm restaurant classic.
Our menu
The wine cellar
One flight down. A place of its own. On Prinsen's lower floor, inspired by Ernest Hemingway, you are met by an atmospheric setting with quotations on the walls and a classic zinc bar counter. This is also where you find Prinsen's wine cellar. A separate, secluded room with a long table and space for up to 16 guests. An intimate and personal setting for business dinners, family occasions, celebrations and parties who want the evening to themselves. In the wine cellar we serve our group menu, or a menu created especially for your party and occasion.
A cultural tavern with more than a century of history in its walls.
History
Strategically placed between the bustling business life of Stureplan, Stockholm's finest shopping streets and the Royal Dramatic Theatre, Prinsen stands like a dependable lighthouse. For over a hundred years, people working and moving through these blocks have slipped in to eat well, drink, socialise and enjoy themselves. Artists, writers and actors have long treated Prinsen as an extension of their own living room. The atmosphere, the comfort and the uncompromising kitchen have also drawn many fine professionals to the kitchen, the dining room, the bar and the cloakroom. That is how it has been since 1897. You can imagine how many good stories there are to tell from here. Some have actually been written down, others live on in people's memories. Prinsen has stayed at the same address ever since — Mäster Samuelsgatan 4 in Norrmalm, central Stockholm.
