Brasserie Astoria

In a busy street close to the expensive shopping boutiques sits the former Astoria Cinema, which has been carefully restored to offer all the charm and opulence of yesteryear. The impressive entrance leads down a double staircase to a luxurious bar with a long counter and a whole wall of wine cabinets, and, at the centre of the room, an illuminated spiral staircase. This leads up to the bustling brasserie and a smaller, more intimate side room hung with colourful art.

Brasserie Astoria, a bustling modern brasserie by the Frantzén team, offers an upscale yet lively dining experience. The menu features French-inspired dishes with a creative twist, from creamy oysters Rockefeller to hearty braised sweetbread with foie gras, and is particularly noted for its halibut carpaccio and rose macarons. With an elegant atmosphere reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties, a lavish bar area boasting an ambitious cocktail list, and a separate intimate dining room for drop-in guests, Brasserie Astoria provides a fresh take on dining out.

Brasserie Astoria is a vibrant nod to the classic European brasserie experience, brought to life by Michelin-starred chef Björn Frantzén. Located in a beautifully restored former cinema dating back to the 1870s, Astoria combines the opulence of old-world glamour with the appeal of modern brasserie classics. The venue itself boasts 200 seats across two floors and 1,200 square meters, featuring a large dining room, an ambitious cocktail bar, a private dining area known as “Lilla a” with its own entrance and bar, and a lobby bar surrounded by greenery.

Björn Frantzén has opened a French brasserie in a venue that formerly housed a cinema. Walk down the carpeted steps and into the old lobby, where, instead of popcorn and movie theater candy, you’ll find a glamorous bar with cocktails and decadent snacks, like vendace roe pizza. On the second floor lies the restaurant, with dishes made from only the finest ingredients, like Norwegian scallops topped with brown butter, jackfruit waffles with caviar, and lots of tableside preparations, including a cognac flambéed beef tenderloin.

Brasserie Astoria, located in the classic former theatre Astoria on Nybrogatan, Östermalm in Stockholm, is a project by The Frantzén Group with famous restaurateur Björn Frantzén.

Big on class and comfort, with a large dining room and extensive bar area that serves creative cocktails and well-chosen wines, this brasserie is a delightful meeting and relaxation place for discerning customers.
