The story
At Villa Dagmar on Nybrogatan, the restaurant carries the hotel's name with full confidence. The menu draws its inspiration from the Mediterranean, shaped by one of Sweden's most acclaimed chefs, Niclas Jönsson, and head chef Håkan Carlsson. Every dish is prepared with a stated commitment to genuine craft — fresh, seasonal ingredients cooked in an open kitchen where the work is visible and intentional. The wine list and cocktail selection are curated with the same care brought to the food.
White Guide has recognized Restaurang Dagmar at a very fine level, and its description of the room says something the restaurant itself would never put in a press release: well-dressed Stockholmers arriving with easy confidence, champagne ordered as naturally as checking a phone, a burly uncle wrapping up a long business lunch a few tables over. It is a portrait of a place that has found its crowd without chasing one.
The hotel's inner courtyard, covered by a magnificent glass roof, houses Trädgårdsbaren — a lively gathering point for weekday lunch, Friday and Saturday afterwork with DJs, and weekend brunch. The atmosphere captures the charm of a city villa without trying too hard. Weekday lunches feature new seasonal dishes composed each week, while the à la carte menu runs alongside for those who prefer the familiar.
For wine, Dagges Vinbar is the hotel's backroom bar, where the sommelier draws from a preserved cellar focused on high-quality bottles from lesser-known regions. Aperitivo and charcuterie accompany the pours.
Chambre séparée options make Villa Dagmar a practical choice for private dinners, celebrations, and business gatherings of various sizes. Each room is designed to feel elegant without being stiff. Breakfast is served daily, rounding out a dining offer that spans most hours and occasions.
The Mediterranean thread running through the kitchen — from the open-fire ethos to the seasonal sourcing — gives Restaurang Dagmar a coherence that holds across lunch, dinner, and everything in between.
