There is one restaurant and several bars in Konserthuset Stockholm which serve several classic Swedish dishes, our popular Swedish prawn sandwich, pastries, drinks and much more. Located in the heart of Stockholm city, you'll find a wide range of great restaurants and well-known cafés around the concert hall. But eat before your evening concert as they close early.

Enjoy a meal in the Main Foyer before concert

Pre-service is offered before most concerts in the Main Hall. Choose from a number of classical Swedish dishes, soups, sandwiches and much more. In addition, there are several different types of wine by the glass, specially selected to suit the different dishes. Please note that pre-service is only offered before concerts held in the Main Hall, to which you must present a ticket when entering the Main Foyer.

Pre-order your meal and beverage, up to 50 hours before the concert. Your order will then be presented one and a half hours before the concert starts. Book one of our recommended dishes to be guaranteed a seat in the Main foyer's comfortable furniture. Please note that if it's a larger table, other pre-orders may be allocated around the same table.

We are currently unable to offer pre-service to concert-goers in the Grünewald Hall due to the limited number of seats in the Main Foyer.

Pre-order your intermission service on site

We invite you to pre-order your food and drinks for intermission at the bar before the concert begins. Your order will be set out for you at intermission. Please note that if it's a larger table, other pre-orders may be allocated around the same table.

There is no formal dress code when visiting Konserthuset Stockholm. Specific dress guidelines only apply during special occasions, such as the Nobel Prize Concert.
