Prinsen
About
Prinsen, situated at Mäster Samuelsgatan 4 in Stockholm, is a venerable Swedish restaurant that has been a gathering place for artists, writers, and businesspeople since 1897. The venue boasts a charming 19th‑century aesthetic, with high ceilings, intricate wood paneling, and art‑filled walls that echo the stories of the city’s cultural history. The menu is rooted in classic Swedish cuisine, crafted with careful attention to seasonal ingredients and a French culinary influence – from home‑made meatballs and the iconic Biff Rydberg to contemporary twists like wallenbergare with goat cheese and a chocolate fondant dessert. Guests can enjoy a relaxed yet sophisticated setting, complemented by a well‑curated wine cellar that showcases Nordic selections and a lively bar area. For those celebrating special occasions, Prinsen offers private rooms and a “chambre séparée” wine cellar that accommodates up to sixteen guests, as well as custom tasting events. Whether you’re looking to savor traditional Swedish fare, sip expertly chosen wines, or host a memorable gathering, Prinsen delivers a timeless culinary experience that blends heritage, hospitality, and culinary excellence.
