Restaurang Kvarnen, a restaurant in Södermalm since 1908

The heart of Södermalm since 1908

Kvarnen

One of Södermalm's oldest restaurants

Since 1908, guests have gathered in the beautiful premises on Tjärhovsgatan to eat home-cooked food, drink beer and let the evening take its time. It is a place where locals, regulars and curious visitors meet side by side, just as it always has.

Over a hundred years of food memories have been gathered in the large hall. Hand-rolled meatballs, pickled herring, veal liver and cream sauce. Everything is cooked from scratch, just as it should be.
