About Frantzén
Restaurant Frantzén is the Stockholm flagship of chef Björn Frantzén, who was born in the city in 1977 and trained at Edsbacka Krog before working in London and Paris kitchens including L'Arpège1. He opened Frantzén Lindeberg in 2008, and the restaurant reopened in its current premises in 2017. In 2018 it became the first restaurant in Sweden to receive three Michelin stars1.
The restaurant fills three floors of a townhouse on Klara Norra Kyrkogata, with a lobby, a dining room and a lounge in the loft, and has 23 seats1. Guests ring a bell to get in, take an aperitif in the top-floor lounge while the day's ingredients are explained, then move down to a dining room where counter seats face the chefs at work2. Dessert is served back by the lounge fireplace5.
The kitchen cooks Nordic produce with a Japanese touch and makes a point of cooking over real fire1. There is one fixed menu, the same at lunch and dinner, priced at SEK 5,500 per guest, with alcoholic and non-alcoholic pairings1. A 2022 feature from The World's 50 Best described about 20 diners per sitting moving between rooms and floors, and quoted the chef saying the restaurant is "always full"3.
The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Friday, and tables for the coming month are released on the 1st of each month at 10.00 local time1. It placed sixth on The World's 50 Best Restaurants in 20211,5.
