Copine

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Southern European Table in the Heart of Östermalm

Copine is a modern Southern European restaurant and cocktail bar on Kommendörsgatan in Stockholm's Östermalm district, run by the team behind Jim & Jacob. The name itself sets the tone — copine is French for girlfriend, and the place carries a relaxed, familiar warmth that feels both effortless and considered. Open for lunch and dinner, it draws guests looking for something that sits comfortably between a neighbourhood bistro and a destination restaurant.

What the Kitchen Sends Out

The White Guide described Copine's cooking as a sweep across Southern Europe, singling out a raw sea urchin with a sharply tangy South American tiger's milk, and a beautifully marbled Spanish plum served alongside delicate bellaverde and a Parmesan-laced polenta. It's a kitchen that moves with confidence — French in spirit, Mediterranean in ingredients, with the occasional unexpected accent that keeps things interesting. The Swedish culinary context is there in the precision and restraint, even as the flavours lean firmly south.

The Room and the Occasion

Three private chambres séparées make Copine a natural choice for smaller gatherings or private parties, each with its own atmosphere while still connected to the energy of the main room. The cocktail bar adds another dimension — this is a place where you can arrive for an aperitif and stay well into the evening. The White Guide noted a kind of "insistent Parisian ambience" that has settled over the restaurant, and it's an apt description: the feeling is one of a place that has already found its footing.
