"When tired after a day of sightseeing and running around town an escape to Djurgårdens Rosendals Trädgård is a great choice. There you’ll be treated with an excellent variety of unpretentious organic dishes and beverages while surrounded by organic farming, green houses and a beautiful garden. When the sun is out it might be a bit crowded around lunchtime so get there early or late depending on your circadian rhythm." - 25AH

"Skillful gardening, a biodynamic philosophy, and a 20-minute walk along the quay from downtown make this urban farm a favorite weekend excursion for Stockholmers. Stroll around the beautiful gardens and orchards, pay a visit to the stone-oven bakery, pick your own flowers, and finish with lunch in the large, light-filled greenhouse cafe. During the summer, the outdoor bar and restaurant Herbarium opens, featuring six dishes, mainly from produce farmed on the premises or nearby. Expect dishes like raw and fermented cucumber with sour cream and fresh honey; grilled leek with walnuts, grilled bell pepper, and fresh garlic; and grilled Swedish pork with fresh beans, coriander, and chanterelles." - Per Styregård

"Kafé and Bageri It really doesn’t get more eco-friendly and organic than dining on freshly baked bread and pastries at Rosendals Trädgård Kafé and Bageri. Their breads are baked with biodynamic flour from the Saltå Kvarn mill in nearby Järna, and their dishes are cooked using seasonal ingredients and organic produce from KRAV-certified farms and growers. Don’t be surprised by long lunch queues. It’s extremely popular with locals who wait in line to dig into its minimal yet tasty rotating menu such as pan-seared Pike perch or Arctic char with roasted root vegetables or couscous. The café itself is inside an ambient glass greenhouse surrounded by flower gardens and fruit orchards."

The Swedish Birthday Party

"I came upon Rosendals Trädgård at the end of the island, a greenhouse-like restaurant set in a farm-like setting with rustic buildings and an orchard where Erik’s black-tie birthday dinner was held. The city felt a world away as guests in tuxedos and gowns mingled under the bright sun with the wind carrying the scent of flowers; it felt more like a wedding than a birthday. The meal, made of all local ingredients, arrived as a blur of dishes meant to keep us somewhat sober while we sang drinking songs, toasted, and danced, and when staff shooed us out at 2am because the sun was rising, we simply moved the party on to a friend’s house." - Matthew Kepnes
