Modern Nordic cooking is what Stockholm is best known for internationally, built on Swedish produce, technique and a sense of place. Frantzén on Klara Norra Kyrkogata in Norrmalm sits at the top of the scene, while Lilla Ego on Västmannagatan and Bord on Roslagsgatan in Vasastan work the more accessible neo-bistro end. Punk Royale on Folkungagatan in Södermalm and Aira out on Djurgården show how broadly the style now ranges across the city.
