Pelikan
About
Pelikan, located on Blekingegatan 40 in Stockholm, is a historic restaurant that has been welcoming guests since 1904. The venue’s elegant Jugend-inspired interiors house a lively bar, the intimate Lilla Matsalen (the 'Slasrummet'), and the grand Stora Hallen, each offering a unique experience. Patrons can savour authentic Swedish “husmanskost” – dishes such as the slow‑roasted pork knuckle, hearty meatball fares, and classic gravlax – paired with an extensive wine list, craft cocktails, and a selection of local beers. The bar is renowned for live music, DJ sets, and temporary art exhibitions featuring works by local artists like Stig Claesson. Guests can enjoy late‑night dining, with the restaurant open every day from 11:30 PM to 1:00 AM, and daytime lunch service from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM on weekdays. Reservations are recommended for groups of ten or more, though tables are available on a first‑come, first‑served basis for smaller parties. Pelikan’s ambiance blends tradition and contemporary flair, making it a must‑visit destination for food lovers, music fans, and families seeking a culturally rich dining experience.
