The story

Bastardo Stockholm – Italian-Inspired Dining on Surbrunnsgatan

A Name That Makes You Look Twice

Bastardo sits on Surbrunnsgatan 20 in Stockholm, and it carries its provocative name with confidence. Recognized by Gambero Rosso — Italy's most authoritative food and wine guide — in its 2026 edition, the restaurant has earned a place among Stockholm's dining addresses worth knowing. That kind of recognition from an Italian institution says something about the seriousness behind the kitchen.

The Space

The restaurant offers table service in a setting that extends outdoors when Stockholm's seasons allow, making it a destination across the calendar. For those looking for something more intimate, Bastardo also offers a chambre séparée — a private room suited to gatherings that call for a degree of seclusion and focus. It's a detail that signals the restaurant thinks beyond the main dining room.

When to Come

Bastardo opens its doors in the afternoon and runs into the late evening through the week, with extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays and early afternoon openings on weekends — a schedule built around dinner as a proper occasion rather than a quick stop.

Why It's Here

A Gambero Rosso fork is not handed out lightly. It places Bastardo within a curated group of Stockholm restaurants that meet a standard rooted in Italian dining culture — attention to ingredients, to the rhythm of a meal, and to the experience around the table. Whether you're booking the main room or the chambre séparée, the address on Surbrunnsgatan is one to keep.
