Operakällaren is a restaurant in the same building as the Royal Swedish Opera. The venue dates its culinary history to 1787. Visit Stockholm describes international delicacies served with a contemporary approach, and says the terrace bar looks over Stockholm’s waterfront and the Royal Palace.

The restaurant’s Christmas dinner is listed for November 19 to December 24. It is a classic Swedish Christmas buffet, with additional dishes such as lobster, bleak roe and stockfish available to order at the table. The Grand Hall is one setting; the glass-enclosed Verandah next to it has views of the waterfront and Royal Palace. The listed price is 1,795 SEK, about $171 or £135.

The restaurant also offers private dining. Steinwallsrummet has space for up to 18 guests and a set menu priced at 2,800 SEK per person, about $266 or £210. Nobiskällaren, a wine cellar opened in 1961, hosts groups of 10 to 16 for a three-course menu with wine pairing, from 5,000 SEK per person, about $475 or £375. Operakällaren says it will close at the end of December 2026 for a multi-year renovation. Gift cards will no longer be redeemable there from January 2027.
