A classic Swedish julbord at Rydbergs. Herring, salmon, glazed Christmas ham and Rydbergs' meatballs, prepared with care and genuine craftsmanship. Settle in from the winter cold and let us take care of the rest.
The name Rydbergs carries one of Stockholm's finest restaurant traditions. Hotell Rydberg opened at Gustav Adolfs torg in 1857 and gave the city both a meeting place and a classic on the plate, the Biff Rydberg.
Today Restaurang Rydbergs carries the heritage forward in the middle of Drottninggatan, with Swedish home cooking made from scratch. The julbord is the highlight of the year, a journey through Sweden's festive food traditions with history and heart in every bite.
No boat to catch, no excursion to plan. The julbord is in the heart of the city, a few minutes' walk from the metro.
Eight kinds of herring, salmon four ways, our own glazed Christmas ham and a whole table of warm dishes. The menu below is from last season and will be updated for Christmas 2026.
The julbord is served from 17 November to 25 December. Book early, the most popular evenings go first.
