Museums with great restaurants
Publish date: 6 October 2025
Planning a day of culture and history combined with a lovely meal? Many of Stockholm’s museums have great restaurants, that are more than just a simple cafeteria or mess hall.
Museum explorers might need a good meal to digest all the knowledge they've just amassed. And if you're going to make a whole day out of your visit, a break might be a good idea to charge your batteries. Maybe a lunch, dinner or a nice fika break. Luckily, many museums in Stockholm have restaurants that are as memorable and innovative as the exhibitions.
The restaurant at Fotografiska has been praised for its organic and vegetarian menu, and under head chef Micael Sandell, the restaurant at Spritmuseum has reached new heights, with a focus on Swedish flavors and craft beverages. At Blå+, the new annex at Liljevalchs art gallery, you'll be treated to an entirely vegetarian meal, and at The National Museum of Science and Technology's restaurant sustainability is key. Besides cultivating its own crops and herbs, the restaurant is transparent with its water and power consumption to visualize every meal's carbon footprint.
In other words, sometimes the museum restaurant is worth a visit alone.
