The story
At Terreno Kitchen, the guiding principle is refreshingly clear: the wine decides, and the kitchen follows. Situated inside The Winery Hotel in Solna – just ten minutes from Stockholm city – this European restaurant builds its seasonal menu around what will taste best in the glass, rather than the other way around. The result is a table where harmony between food and drink isn't an afterthought but the entire point.
The wine list here is substantial without being unwieldy – over 1,300 references described by the hotel itself as "a large yet compact list." That combination of depth and curation earned Terreno Kitchen the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in 2025, a distinction the guide reserves for the world's finest wine restaurants. It's a meaningful signal: this is a place where serious wine lovers will find plenty to explore, and where sommeliers are genuinely engaged in guiding guests through it.
Terreno Kitchen serves lunch and dinner through the week, with breakfast rounding out the morning for hotel guests. For those who want more privacy, Chambre Séparée rooms sit directly adjacent to the restaurant – well suited to private dinners, smaller celebrations or company gatherings. The à la carte dinner menu can also be shaped into a three-course experience through the Terreno Kitchen Experience package, pairing chosen dishes with wines drawn from the cellar list.
The hotel's own Tuscan vineyard, Terreno – owned by the Ruhne family – threads through the identity of the place, lending the name and a sense of personal investment that goes beyond the typical hotel restaurant. Wines made on that estate appear on the list alongside the broader European selection.
The European cooking at Terreno Kitchen spans weekday lunches with weekly classics alongside à la carte options, and evening menus that invite guests to compose their own meal or follow a set progression. The kitchen's approach – seasonal flavours chosen to complement specific wines – gives even a straightforward lunch a considered quality that stands apart.
