About Den Gyldene Freden
Sweden's oldest restaurant, operating since 1722 in a Gamla Stan cellar with original vaulted brick ceilings and creaky wooden floors. The menu features traditional Swedish dishes like pytt i panna and herring prepared six ways, served in an atmosphere little changed in three centuries. The Swedish Academy has dined here monthly since 1929, occupying the same private room.
Insider Tips
Request a table in the main vaulted cellar room rather than the upstairs dining area to experience the full historical atmosphere.
