Say hello to Hedvig, a new restaurant perched one floor up in Östermalm’s Market Hall. If you get an impulse to give an almost reverent greeting, it’s understandable. As you step between the tables, it’s hard to believe the restaurant hasn’t been here for 130 years.
This sense of heritage is reflected in the classic menu. Here, the respect for tradition and love for Swedish home cooking have already taken root. Appreciate how the meatballs with mashed potatoes taste exactly as they should, and enjoy the luxurious simplicity of a Biff Rydberg. Above all, don’t miss Hedvig’s “Silver Dinner,” a complete experience that begins with a special cocktail, is crowned with classic pork knuckle, and finishes with one of the most Swedish things there is: assorted Swedish candy.
Gaze over the merchants from the balcony
Hedvig’s atmosphere is magical – perfect for a memorable dining experience. From the balcony, you overlook all the market vendors, and if you look up, the grand roof structure of Östermalm’s Market Hall spreads out above you. It’s an intriguing contrast: to enjoy simple, honest, and authentic food served in a setting full of history and soul.
