"Opened in 2015, Portal is already an institution. Chef Klas Lindberg has an impressive resume, including winning Swedish Chef of the Year in 2012 and a lengthy stint at restaurant L’Astrance in Paris. At Portal, he provides Stockholmers with popular lunches and dinners beneath huge windows. Consult the blackboard for various cuts of dry-aged beef, which are served with house fries and bearnaise butter. Or go for locally sourced vegetables, seafood, and daily rotating game meats. Chase it all down with artisan Swedish beer or a bottle from the well-curated cellar. Since 2018, guests have been able to pop next door to busy Bar Portal, which serves small plates with a longer list of wines by the glass. Snag a seat at the communal table in the back." - Per Styregård
