Frantzen Stockholm

Set across three storeys of a beautifully restored 19th c. building in the Swedish capital's Norrmalm district, Frantzen offers an immersive dining experience. Helmed by former professional footballer-turned-chef, Bjorn Frantzen - who began his culinary journey in the Swedish army and later honed his skills at Chez Nico in London, Arpege in Paris, and Stockholm's Edsbacka Krog - this restaurant brings an eclectic, yet polished, edge to fine dining.

A meal at Frantzen begins in the lounge, with canapes and drinks. Opening bites include a delicate trout roe tartlet, a sweet corn and foie gras macaron, and a crispy potato with vendace roe, creme fraiche and pickled onion.

Some courses reflect the Japanese tradition of minimalist flavours, while others embrace the richness of classic French sauces. Yet, each dish shares one common thread: chef Frantzen's meticulous pursuit of excellence, blending ingredients and techniques with an unmatched devotion to quality.


The lounge has a working counter where chefs prepare first bites and a chilled display of the evening's star ingredients - a glimpse of what's to come in this culinary journey. Frantzen isn't just a meal, it's a masterclass in dining.
