Operakällarens Bakficka

Local cuisineLocals' pick

The Opera House's back-pocket room: 28 seats at high tables and an old sideboard counter, no bookings, and the same kitchen and meatballs as the Operabaren next door. Locals call it a place every Stockholmer must have eaten at once.

Good to know

  • Order the köttbullar with potato purée, cream sauce, pressgurka and lingon.
  • No table bookings: it is drop-in only.
  • The Opera moves out in February 2027 and the building closes for at least five years of renovation (Time Out), so go while you can.
