Cafe Restaurant Sten Sture
About
Café & Restaurang Sten Sture is an intimate tavern nestled within the historic vaulted cellar of Stockholm’s Old Town. The 1300‑sourced arches and stone passages echo centuries of Swedish history, from royal intrigues to the infamous prison of Jacob Johan Anckarström, who was held here before his execution in 1792. With a seating capacity of just 90, the venue offers a cosy, authentically medieval ambience that feels both lively and reflective. Guests can indulge in a traditional Swedish menu à la carte, tapas‑style pastries, and a selection of coffee and chocolate drinks—all served from a centuries‑old cellar. The café’s full‑service bar allows patrons to order drinks by the bottle or cocktail. Open daily from 8 a.m. until midnight, Sten Sture welcomes diners, couples, history buffs, and families alike for a unique culinary journey through time.
