Kasten Bistro & Vinbar

Kasten serves classic dishes made with Swedish ingredients and French influences, with the menu changing to follow the season. The restaurant describes its cooking as rustic and built around the ingredients. Its wine list focuses on Europe’s established wine regions, with a particular interest in Champagne. Visit Stockholm says the bar offers natural wines and other drinks, while the restaurant serves more classic wines. It also describes the menu as mid-sized servings and says the venue has extensive outdoor seating across from Oscar Church.

The bistro is near Djurgårdsbron, along Narvavägen. The restaurant says to go down an old stone staircase to reach it. Its name comes from Kasten Hoff, a wine steward and cellar master who worked in 17th-century Stockholm.
