    A delightful traditional Swedish restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden. Although not obvious on the menu the three styles of herring is amazing and unique. Try to aquavit - everyone has a different preference. We really enjoyed the Swedish meatballs and the potato dumplings stuffed with pork. The browned butter sauce made the potato dumplings fantastic! The service staff is professional and very polite. Free wifi with good signal!

    The best traditional Swedish food we have tried in Stockholm, thus the Name perfectly fits. Had the Swedish meatballs which were the best me and my brother (who lives in Sweden) have ever tried. I also gotta say that their chocolate fudge cake is also a 10/10, perfect taste & texture, Great mix of ingredients! The interior is warm and so are the staff, we really felt at home! All in all, I can only give praise to this restaurant, definitely try it out!

    Really authentic and delicious local food! The host was very kind to accept us late into the night (we had just arrived to Stockholm) and was very gracious in explaining all the dishes - we had the meatballs and dumplings for mains and herring for starters-the bread was especially good and the meatballs and herring were so yummy! Highly recommended

    This was on a list of recommended restaurants for traditional Swedish food. It was a higher end restaurant, but definitely worth the price. I got the traditional meatball dish and it was great. Each meal comes with a salad and bread plate, already on the table when you arrive. Service was good, though I wish they checked on me more often.

    First dinner for us in Stockholm tonight. Really great atmosphere inside and comfortable. We ate a community table and were able to easily make friends with another family. A unique experience you can’t get elsewhere! The food was also great! The Swedish meatballs and sauce were really good. A must have while visiting Stockholm. Service was quick and all friendly. All in all a great time and would definitely come back.

    As the name hints, this establishment offers modern versions of traditional Swedish dishes. I visited this place twice, and both times, the food was delicious. The place is small and often gets crowded, but for me, it didn't ruin the experience. We sat at the communal table for dinner, and it was great as we could chat and exchange opinions with fellow travelers from other countries. I liked it very much. The service was a little bit slow, but it is anticipated when the place is busy with visitors. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time ( they may ask you for a credit card for a deposit).

    Tradition is a great spot to dine if you're looking for traditional Swedish cuisine. It was recommended in my Phaidon Wallpaper Guide tour book for Stockholm and I typically trust their carefully selected restaurant picks. Prices were decent - expensive, but in line with most mid to upper tier restaurants in Sweden. As Stockholm has really become so cosmopolitan in terms of dining options, the first few times I visited, I wanted to try "traditional" Swedish cuisine, but really struggled to find good options. Tradition fills that void nicely and I'll definitely go back anytime I'm in the city.

    As mentioned by another reviewer, this restaurant is aimed at tourists, but so is just about everything in Gamla Stan. However, in this case, it’s still great! The atmosphere is casual and feels traditional. The service is friendly and efficient. The food, at least what I had, was outstanding. I especially recommend the bleak roe toast, and the char ordered by the couple next to me looked fantastic. Highly recommended!

    Super restaurant in the center of Stockholm. The atmosphere is really cozy and the service is excellent. The food... excellent. Traditional Swedish dishes, very well made and presented. A must if you want traditional foods. We had the potato dumplings with pork and moose steak. Yum!

    Fantastic restaurant! A really nice and sophisticated restaurant without being overpriced. The food was incredible and the staff were really nice and helpful with the wine selection. We felt really welcome and were able to get a table without a reservation. Would recommend for real traditional food.

    My visit to this restaurant with an à la carte menu left me with mixed feelings. The dishes were generously portioned and undeniably tasty, but I couldn't help but feel that there was nothing particularly extraordinary about them. What truly captivated me was the breathtaking ambiance, which added an enchanting touch to the dining experience. However, I must acknowledge that the cost of the meal was rather exorbitant in comparison to what was presented on the plates. While the setting was undeniably beautiful, the overall value for money left much to be desired.

    Service was absolutely lovely! 💐 Inside Design was beautiful too! Loved the vibe!! Food was really good too and I was really satisfied with my experience. Make sure you book a table in advance because it’s pretty popular. My table wasn’t the best one tbh, I always felt like I was blocking the way of the waiters bc it was next to the kitchen. However everything else was so nice it still deserves the 4/5 🥰🥰

    The ambiance was very nice and the food looked great. We came here as a group and ordered appetizers plus our meals. I tried the smoked reindeer, lobster bisque, Swedish meatballs and potatoes dumplings. Unfortunately half our group experienced food poisoning that evening which we attribute to here as we ate at different locations before here.

    For an upscale take on traditional Swedish cuisine, Tradition does an excellent job. Wife loved her dumplings and the Swedish meatballs were perfect. Worth every kroner and the location was great for our day in Gamla Stan

    Would definitely come again, the beef tartar is fantastic. We also ordered Swedish meatball and veal steak, all tasty. Very close to the royal palace and enough space to enjoy a fine meal. Our girls also finished their portion, said “yummy”. And a lovely note in the toilet 😂😂

    For a special occasion is a very good option. The food was delicious, specially the veal rib eye! The service was very kind. The place was quite simply decorated but offered a romantic atmosphere. Prices are indeed high. Overall very happy to have visited it!

    Heavenly Home Cooked Authentic Swedish Food in a Cozy Ambience in Gamla Stan. Salmon sourced from Oslo , Slow Cooked on fire 🔥, i haven't had such tasty Salmon in my entire life . The Veg Main Course made with wheat and mushrooms and wild forest berries and curry blew my mind off. The desert with fresh strawberries and the fresh cream was an absolute delight . The most satisfying ambience and meal ever !!! My strongest memory from Stockholm -Sweden !!! Elsa was amazingly helpful giving me info on the foods and sourcing and how it is made , this made me understand the food and i was very comfortable with her interactions. Thank you tradition for an amazing meal ..

    Incredible!!! We went on a whim because another place recommended just down the street was too busy. And oh my goodness, so glad we went here. The food was absolutely amazing. Service was also friendly and attentive. Food came out quickly too. Would highly recommend!

    Excellent food, not good enough service... Unfortunately we waited for 5 minutes to be seated while the restaurant was empty in the afternoon - nobody paid attention to us. Funny, but the same happened to another couple who came after us, however they were not that patient and left the restaurant! Later, my order was not taken in time, And when the food was delivered, a waitress started cleaning the floor with a broom. Anyway, the food improved the experience, but would not recommend it only because of that

    (Translated by Google) We happened to happen one evening while walking through Gamla Stan and it was a fabulous discovery. The super courteous staff, the place is super well-kept in Nordic style and intimate and you can eat very well. Local and traditional foods with a contemporary touch. I absolutely recommend it. Outstanding reindeer meatballs. Fair prices. (Original) Siamo capitati per caso una sera mentre camminavamo per Gamla Stan ed è stata una scoperta favolosa. Il personale super cortese, il luogo è super curato in stile nordico e intimo e si mangia benissimo. Cibi locali e della tradizione con un tocco di attualità. Ve lo consiglio assolutamente. Polpette di renna eccezionali. Prezzi giusti.

    Amazing evening! We wanted to try out some Swedish specialties and it did not disappoint. Trust me this is not a tourist trap - the atmosphere is laid back and cosy, the food is amazing, staff are very helpful and it’s very affordable. All the below + drinks was about £65!

  • 5/5 Jessica R. 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    We were in Stockholm for a few days but this restaurant served us incredibly good meatballs. The service was impeccable and attentive. The food was truly delicious, from appetizer to dessert everything astounded us and exceeded all our expectations. One thing is for sure, if I return to Stockholm I will come back here as well! highly recommended.

  • 5/5 PBD 5 months ago on Google
    My wife chose this during our visit to Sweden because it serves traditional Swedish food which, surprisingly, is not that easy to find. It is a small place tucked away in the old part of the city about a 5 minute walk from the metro. Feels like you are walking into your neighbour's dining room- it has that homey/ikea feel about it that lots of Scandinavian eateries share. We chose 3 courses. I had steak tartare, meatballs (of course) with pickled cucumbers, and a dessert of cheese and marmalade. All were perfect. No negative comments at all. Tartare was the best I've had, meatballs sublime with a sauce where I couldn't work out what all the flavours were. The dish that took me by surprise was the cheese. You can see in the photos. It was one slice of cheese with a tub of 'stuff'. It didn't look like marmalade and indeed it wasn't. I think it was lost in translation. It was a type of apple sauce, not very sweet. I thought a single slice of cheese was tight until I tried it, crikey it was strong- took my head off. Piece of apple with a piece of cheese was one of the nicest flavour explosions I have EVER had. Genius on a plate. Tempted to go back for that one course. The meal was £87 for 2 with a glass of wine and worth every penny. Highly recommend this restaurant.

  • 1/5 Ralfs S. 2 years ago on Google
    I got bad food poisoning after dining here. I can’t recommend this place.

  • 2/5 Paul H. 2 years ago on Google
    So I don't particularly like leaving middling or negative reviews, but while my server was lovely, honestly, my food was cold. It was a bit shocking when I took my first bite. That's never happened to me at a restaurant before to my recollection. I don't like complaining in person so I just ate and left. I think they make so many meatballs they just premake them and they sit there. It was disappointing and I hope they take notice of that given they have such a high rating on here.

  • 5/5 Luigi P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice and chic place with stunning waitresses! Really suggested

  • 4/5 jangu63 2 years ago on Google
    Great service, cosy ambiance and very good Swedish traditional food. The "Kroppkakor" was superb, but the rhubarb dessert was a bit "over-designed" and a more traditional approach (sweeter and more crunchy) there would have made it 5 stars for the whole experience

  • 4/5 Andreea M. 2 years ago on Google
    Cozy place with traditional food in the heart of the city. The staff is very friendly. It's on the expensive side and unfortunately when i had dinner there it was rather cold inside.

    This is one of my favourite places for Swedish food! Loved the ambience, the food and the service.

  • 1/5 Jl. O. 3 months ago on Google New
    Quite expensive restaurant for what they offer. The Swedish dumplings were not what I expected, I did not quite like them. The Vegan option was nothing special, and very expensive. The restaurant offers bread with butter and caviar mouse that was quite tasty. Also there is the option of still or sparkling water. It is a pity that they do not do the traditional dishes Glutenfree. The rest they do. The waitresses had tension between them, which was quite visible from the customer perspective and it did not look good. It is a cozy place, tho the tables are quite near from each other that you listen other people’s conversation; so if you are looking for a more private place to eat it is not the best. Book in advance; it is quite busy.

  • 5/5 Stefan H. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Would highly recommend for visitors interested in getting a selection of Swedish classics like the herring (SOS), meatballs, or Kroppkaka (my favourite). After sampling at different restaurants this remains our favourite. Staff is very friendly and welcoming and though it's not the most local experience (it's in the old town after all) it is a great experience and atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Alla T. 1 year ago on Google
    Good Swedish restaurant with local food and nice service. Location of the restaurant is in the center of Stockholm. You can order the lunch with special proposition. Every day different choices.

  • 4/5 Yuki K. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are looking for good Swedish cuisine, you should visit this place! Friendly staff with good service, and the food was delicious! I would come back again!

  • 5/5 Alex R. 6 months ago on Google
    Centrally located, and with a great price/quality ratio. Good meatballs, and good Swedish food; very good price for the area (and city). They are fast while serving, and even if the place is crowded it will be a short wait for those without a reservation. It’s in the middle of the touristic area but is definitely not a tourist trap! One of the best options in that entrance to the central island.

  • 5/5 Brad 1 year ago on Google
    Possibly the best food we had in Stockholm. Great meatballs and dumplings. Nice selection of schnapps as well. Maybe the friendliest staff you will find in Scandinavia.

  • 5/5 Ana C. 5 months ago on Google
    I wanted to try the best meatballs in Stockholm, and I was not disappointed! In fact, I went to this place two days in a row, because it is THAT good! The atmosphere is very pleasant as well. Highly recommend coming to this place.

  • 5/5 Dunja M. 1 year ago on Google
    Traditional Swedish food, with vegetarian options. Staff were quite nice and helpful. We were a group of 15 and felt very well served.

  • 4/5 Sebastian R. 1 year ago on Google
    We ate in this "Swedish cuisine" restaurant together with a majority of foreign guests that had come to taste "Mammas Köttbullar", "Kroppkakor" and other dishes that Swedish families no longer relish compared to pasta, pizza and hamburgers. So for us Swedes living abroad since many years, this restaurant is one of few in Stockholm where we can recognise what we miss in our daily life abroad. Despite the restaurant being full this Sunday evening we were served rapidly by a pleasant waitress and the food was excellent, as we had expected from our previous experience over the years. Prices are reasonable for what you get.

  • 5/5 Megan D. 5 months ago on Google
    I can’t speak to the authenticity of this food, but I can tell you I thought it was delicious. I got the Swedish meatballs during lunch, the portions were pretty big, but I ate it all! Also got some red tea which was served in a really cute kettle (see picture)! Very nice ambiance, will definitely be returning on next trip to Stockholm!

  • 5/5 Diana S. 9 months ago on Google
    If you are in Stockholm for a short time and your are around the city center and want to try traditional food - that’s definitely the place to go!! The food was just AMAZING! The wait was a little bit longer than expected, but the taste compensate it and was definitely worth it 🥰

  • 5/5 Ana S. 6 months ago on Google
    Lovely place, cozy atmosphere, dim lights and classy, with traditional Swedish food. We tried the famous Swedish meatballs, they were nice, but just a bit heavy. Not too many vegetarian options. Excellent service, good wine too. Homemade apetizers on the house. Perfect location on a little street in gamla stan.

  • 5/5 Lori H. 1 year ago on Google
    Restaurant is true to name. Authentic carefully prepared cuisine. We shared Swedish meatballs and dumplings. Small wine menu but pairings are quite good. Lovely atmosphere in old town. Recommend going early gets busy at dinner hour.

  • 5/5 Caroline C. 7 months ago on Google
    We had a great evening at Tradition. The service was friendly and attentive and the food was delicious! Although it's in a very touristy location it didn't feel like a tourist trap at all. The food was very good quality and cooked perfectly, would thoroughly recommend.

  • 5/5 Anni V. 1 year ago on Google
    100% recommend it for gluten-free. The food was SO good! The service was excellent - very friendly. Gluten-free was no problem at all; they were well informed and the vegetarian main dish was gluten free and then it turned out that even their Swedish meatballs (Köttbullar) are gluten-free. What was also great was that they tell you their wine/drinks recommendation on the menu right underneath the dish. Makes the experience even greater.

  • 5/5 Adele E. 1 year ago on Google
    This was the first restaurant I tried in Stockholm and the food was great. The potato dumplings were well made and filled me up quicker than expected. Nice, quite ambiance too. The waiters delivered amazing customer service and made me feel very welcomed.

  • 5/5 Max R. 7 months ago on Google
    Great traditional Swedish food and a super friendly staff. I had a really good time and would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who is visiting Stockholm and wants to taste genuine Swedish dishes. I had the grilled asparagus as starter, the Kroppkakor with mushrooms as main course and the strawberries with lemon cream as dessert. You should book a table online, otherwise you have to wait quite a while until you get seated since the restaurant is well visited.

  • 5/5 Avi K. 4 years ago on Google
    Very quaint and gourmet but not in a tryna be a “wannabe” kinda way. The food is genuinely tasty, flavorful and very carefully prepared. Every city should have a place like this. Where those of us who explore places through food can try and be surprised by authentic local cuisine. Someone please comment on whether the food here is truly traditional and/or authentic. Their name and description online says everything I needed to know to head straight here. Someone took a lot of care to put this place together ... the lighting, the decor, the music all come together beautifully! The service was delightful. When I called, they were so unassuming and when I showed up they were very warm and welcoming. They encouraged me to ask questions and more importantly were knowledgeable and willing to answer - always a good sign. I tried the salted brisket. Medium rare, good consistency, neatly cut, served warm and fork tender ... not easy to pull off! I’ll be back for more. The suggested pairing was great but admittedly I’m easy to please with beer so I’ll refrain from singing its praises. That bread! Supposedly made with everything but the kitchen sink but extremely well balanced and zero after taste. Overall a great experience. 5 stars all the way.

    A great restaurant in gamla stan serving traditional Swedish dishes! Being the typical tourist I got meatballs, which definitely did not disappoint.

    I have meat dumplings. The meat doesn't taste nice and the dumpling skins are too thick. My friend had beef and he said it was nice. The beer that was served is good on the other hand. Appetizer is also nice.

  • 5/5 Ken W. 4 years ago on Google
    Was pleasantly surprised about how good the food was. Had some traditional swedish meals, like the swedish meatballs dish, the meat filled potato dumplings and another meat and potato meal. Everything was very tasty without exception. Thanks to the staff that were so friendly and even squeezed us in even though we didn't make reservations!

  • 4/5 Meg D. 4 years ago on Google
    My favorite parts about Tradition were the dumplings and the ambience! We didn’t have a reservation but sat at the bar briefly and they ultimately found a table for us. The meatballs were good, just thought the sauce was a bit heavier than others I had tasted. Definitely a great spot to land at the end of a long day in the Old City.

  • 5/5 Zoraida L. 4 years ago on Google
    The food was wonderful and reasonably-priced. You should definitely try their pickled herring as appetizer and breaded pan-fried herring with browned butter.

  • 5/5 Leszek M. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Kim S. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice restaurant setting and atmosphere. Good balance between modern style and cozy feeling. The food, however, is not as impressive as its interior design. I like hash browns but not so much for the meatballs and dumplings. Good for friends gatherings.

  • 5/5 Christian W. 4 years ago on Google
    Really delicious food. The bread is amazing! Try also the starters with salmon and the one shrimp. The craft beer fits perfect into their cuisine. Service is very friendly.

  • 5/5 Elaine L. 4 years ago on Google
    Food is amazing and traditional. We were introduced to soft Swedish butter here and could not get enough. The menu is small but done well. A starter and main is sufficient per person - everything on the menu is good.

  • 4/5 yy x. 4 years ago on Google
    Since this is one of the most highly rated eatery in gamla Stan, naturally we have to. I think this is a solid 4. Food is good - we got the herring and the beef cubes which was very nicely done (sufficiently seared yet maintaining some rareness). Biscuit was good with the Swedish butter. Service was great too. But ultimately I was disappointed because there is nothing too special about this restaurant. I could get similar food almost anywhere.

    Had a really tasty seafood soup for lunch. Only downside being that it was a little bit on small side, even taking the appetizer salad and bread into the calculations. The dinner is probably different though. I'll definitely come here again, maybe try the peasoup with pancakes that they have on Thursdays. One thumb up! 👍🏻

    Superb. From presentation to flavour to customer service. Fantastic. Highly recommended the starter which consists of three types of minced fish with bread. Its delicious. The fish based mains are all fantastic too. The thing that really stood out though was the customer service. Every waitress did their utmost to answer questions and ensure I was happy throughout. They also deeply understand the dishes, how they are made, how they should be eaten and what compliments them. 5 stars.

    (Translated by Google) Quick and nice service. The food was unfortunately very greasy and oily, but the taste was good. (Original) Rasche und nette Bedienung. Das Essen war leider sehr fettig und ölig, geschmacklich aber gut.
