RuinMyTrip guide to Ekstedt

Official Review

Written by RuinMyTrip Editorial from published research and official sources, not from a personal trip. It is not a traveler review and is never counted in the community rating. How we research.

What it is

A tasting-menu restaurant in Ostermalm, Stockholm, cooking entirely over birch wood in a fire pit, wood oven, flame-set cast iron pan and smoking flue, with no gas or electricity in the kitchen.

Why travelers eat here

Because the constraint produces food you cannot get elsewhere, and because watching a professional kitchen work an open fire for three hours is genuinely absorbing.

What is genuinely good

A single rigorous idea carried through every course, an open fire in the room, and flavours that no conventional kitchen reproduces.

Downsides

Very expensive, more so with pairings. Small and heavily booked. Pervasive smoke, which is the concept rather than a fault but is not for everyone.

Best for

Anyone who cooks, anyone interested in technique, and anyone treating one dinner as the event of the trip.

Consider eating elsewhere if

Smoke-forward food does not appeal, or you want to choose your own dishes. Neither is possible here.

Practical advice

Book well ahead and ask for a seat facing the kitchen. Skip the upgraded pairing unless wine is the point; the standard pairing is well matched. Allow three hours.

Prices and reservations

Set menu 2,900 SEK, wine pairing 2,300 SEK, selected wine pairing 3,800 SEK, juice pairing also offered. Reservations online.

Getting there

Metro to Ostermalmstorg, then five minutes on foot. Humlegardsgatan runs off Stureplan.

Where it sits

Humlegardsgatan in Ostermalm, the smart district north-east of the centre, near Stureplan and the Humlegarden park.

How long to allow

Three hours.

The RuinMyTrip verdict

Worth it once if fire-cooked food interests you at all. Sit facing the kitchen, take the standard pairing, and expect to smell of birch smoke afterwards.

Two Thousand Nine Hundred Krona, All of It Cooked Over Fire

Ekstedt charges 2,900 SEK for the set menu, with a wine pairing at 2,300 SEK and a selected wine pairing at 3,800. There is no gas and no electricity in the kitchen. Everything is cooked over birch wood: a fire pit, a wood-fired oven, a cast iron pan set into the flames and a birch-smoked flue. That constraint is the entire concept and it is not a gimmick, because it changes what the food tastes like in ways you…
