Since its opening in 1787, Operakällaren in the Stockholm opera house has been an institution of Swedish high-end gastronomy and a darling of the royal family and artists alike. An extensive wine cellar has been built over the past 30 years, but restaurant manager Carl Frosterud – considered one of the top sommeliers in Sweden – will now start the work of doubling the number of references.
‘We want one of the best wine lists in the world,’ he says. To do this, he looks to broaden the selection from the classics and assembles verticals from top producers. The cuisine is traditional fine dining at its best – a beautiful, updated art nouveau dining salon with a rich history, excellent food, impeccable service and a wine list to get lost in. A wine bar will open this spring in the historic Nobis cellar, which has until now been closed to the public.
