Las Brasas

Spanish influences

Nestled among the many other restaurants on Roslagsgatan, Las Brasas is as well-known for its well-composed tapas as its meat menu. Choose from various grilled meat dishes inspired by South America and Spain in sophisticated surroundings that includes their signature green tiles. Book a table if you want to be sure of bagging a table, but you can always take your chances and hope for a spot at the bar. 

Griffins' Steakhouse

A meat-lovers heaven

In addition to its eccentric, inspiring decor, Griffins' delivers on the meat front. Kick off with a hot dog with truffle mayo and crispy onions with a pre-dinner cocktail, follow up with a charcuterie platter as a starter and top it of with fillet of beef as a main course.

Blackstone Steakhouse

Freshly grilled in Sundyberg

You'll find Blackstone restaurants at several different locations around the country and Stockholm has now got its first branch in Sundbyberg. Their food is bursting with not only warmth, but also ambition and flavour. Choose a protein, sauce and side dishes, and staff will grill your food and then serve it on a steaming hot lava stone.

Gute

Fine cuts of meat and your choice of sides

Gute, previously known as Gute Grill, combines rustic vibes with a classic American steakhouse-feel close to Stureplan. The menu pays homage to the island of Gotland featuring smoky BBQ-inspired dishes such as juicy steaks, lamb racks and decadent burgers straight off the charcoal grill, all served with your choice of sides. The menu is overseen by head chef David Lundquist, a finalist in Swedish Chef of the Year 2015 and 2016.

Svartengrens

Sophisticated farm-to-table

This sleek, sparsely decorated restaurant is dedicated to local produce and organic meat and poultry. If you've got any space left after your main course, we recommend diving into the dessert menu.

Smoked in the garage

Det Arroganta Svinet ("the arrogant pig") is run by Tommy Granström, who started smoking meat on the premises, and eventually opened a restaurant in his own garage. He calls it Sweden's best Texas BBQ, and in 2023 "Svinet" expanded with an offshoot in Kista.

Adams Smokehouse

Smoked beef and lamb

Food is allowed to take its sweet time at Adams Smokehouse - some 10 to 16 hours, in fact. They serve Swedish beef and lamb that's seasoned, smoked and cooked to perfection, with sides such as fried potatoes, Persian rice and various sauces and dips.

Noema

From the grill

You'll find this elegant restaurant in the characteristic, concave building on Birger Jarlsgatan 64, known as the “Wallenstam house”. The menu consists of snacks, medium-sized dishes, meat and desserts. Choose from grilled meats, today's cut of meat and other fine cuts of meat that are combined with sides and sauces in the classic way.

Folkparken

American BBQ with an international twist

Folkparken on Sveavägen serves up authentic American BBQ and is inspired by the food scenes of Brooklyn, New York and Vesterbro in Copenhagen. The kitchen includes a huge American smoker as well as an Argentian charcoal grill. Their Grillkiosken fastfood stand in the entrance is the perfect option when you're in a hurry and want to grab something on the run. Their basement tap room is a collaboration with Nya Carnegiebryggeriet microbrewers.

Erth

Meat deli and restaurant

Erth is a delicatessen and restaurant with its own French rotisserie, right in the heart of buzzy Hötorgshallen indoor food market. The deli sells high-quality meat, pickled vegetables and tasty accompaniments. Take a seat and order their daily lunch special or a meaty sandwich, such as their Reuben. Accompany your meal with a beer or glass of wine; staff are happy to provide recommendations.

The Old Smokehouse

Wood-fired meat

The Old Smokehouse calls itself Stockholm's first true barbeque restaurant. American barbecue tradition combines with Swedish smoking craftsmanship here - they only cook with proper firewood. Pair your meal with craft beer, American wines and rum-based cocktails. Sit up in the restaurant with views over the waters of Lännersta sound, or down on the jetty.

Lennart & Bror

Restaurant and butchers

Lennart & Bror combines a restaurant and butchers, so to say they really know their meat would be an understatement. The menu varies a little depending on what they get in and it's written up on the wall, but they've become known for their excellent burgers, among other things.
