Restaurant Nationalmuseum

Restaurant Nationalmuseum is the museum’s on-site restaurant at Södra Blasieholmshamnen 2A, beside Stockholm’s Nationalmuseum on the Blasieholmen peninsula, opposite the Royal Palace across the water. Led by restaurateur and chef Fredrik Eriksson, it serves contemporary versions of Swedish food traditions, including seasonal lunches, fish, meat, vegetarian dishes, fika, and after-work offerings prepared from Swedish ingredients. The restaurant opened when Nationalmuseum reopened after its major renovation in October 2018, while the museum building itself dates from 1866 and was designed by Friedrich August Stüler and Henrik Scholander. Its distinctive setting combines dining with views over Stockholm’s harbor and the Royal Palace, followed by access to Nationalmuseum’s collections of European art and design. It is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00, Thursday from 11:00 to 20:00, and closed Monday; the kitchen generally closes at 15:00, or 19:00 on Thursday, so reservations are sensible for lunch and especially for Thursday evening.
