Fittingly, the classy eatery is run by Björn Frantzén and Daniel Lideberg, two veterans of Edsbacka Krog, which closed its doors last spring having become the first ever Swedish restaurant to receive two stars in the prestigious Guide Michelin in 2008.
Meanwhile in the capital’s Grand Hotel, Mathias Dahlgren Matsalen also held on to the two stars earned in last year’s guide as Stockholm remained the only Nordic capital with a double dose of two-star restaurants.
Gothenburg also maintained its gourmet calibre with each of its five Michelin-starred restaurants retaining their stars in the 2010 guide.
There was bad news in Stockholm for Leijontornet and Operakällaren however, both of which lost their single star status.
No restaurant in Sweden has yet attained the holy grail of three stars, an accolade marking out a restaurant as a travel destination in its own right. Two stars denotes a restaurant worthy of a diversion, while one star signals a restaurant considered exceptional in its category.
