Stockholm Valentine’s Food Guide: Celebrate Love Around the Table
Valentine’s Day is about more than flowers and chocolates. It is about exceptional food, atmosphere, and shared experiences. This year, Svenska Brasserier invites guests to celebrate love in three distinct ways: in the heart of the city at Luzette, surrounded by nature at Ulriksdals Värdshus, or high above the water with panoramic views at the iconic Gondolen.
Luzette
Romance in Motion
On February 14, Luzette presents an exclusive four-course Valentine’s Day menu, served from opening to closing. Set in the grand arrival hall of Stockholm Central Station, the French brasserie blends classic technique with Nordic elegance.
The menu opens with choux au craquelin topped with vendace roe and smetana, followed by a rich lobster bisque. The main course features poached Skrei Cod with mussel velouté, Pommes Anna, and cress, before finishing with a decadent gâteau au chocolat served with cream and cherry compote.
“The atmosphere is warm, thoughtful, and romantic. Our guests can simply sit back and focus on what truly matters,” says Olivia Heckscher, Restaurant Manager at Luzette.
A curated wine pairing, beginning with champagne, is available, while the à la carte menu is also offered throughout the day.

Ulriksdals Värdshus
Love in a Natural Setting
Just 15 minutes from Stockholm city centre, Ulriksdals Värdshus offers a more tranquil celebration set within the palace park. On February 14, guests can choose between a classic three-course menu or a generous sharing menu, available for both lunch and dinner.
Dishes include bleak roe with traditional accompaniments, pan-seared pike-perch with lobster and langoustine, rose-roasted veal with truffle jus, and chocolate fondant with yoghurt ice cream and citrus. A curated drinks pairing is available, along with a dedicated children’s menu.
“Every celebration has its own tradition, and this one is dedicated entirely to love,” says Head Chef Magnus Nilsson.
Three-course menu: SEK 895
Sharing menu: SEK 750 per person
Gondolen
Valentine’s Day, All Weekend Long
For those who want to extend the celebration, Gondolen turns Valentine’s Day into a full weekend experience from February 13 to 15. A four-course menu is served for both lunch and dinner in the restaurant’s classic setting, 33 metres above the water, accompanied by live jazz and expertly curated wine pairings.
The menu moves between refined classics and modern touches: caviar tartlette with smetana, cured cucumber, honey and chives; lobster and scallop crudo with yuzu, blood orange, ginger emulsion and apple; baked turbot with Bordelaise sauce, truffle, oxtail croquette, Jerusalem artichoke and sautéed spinach, ending with chocolate fondant, lightly whipped cream, vanilla ice cream and cherries.
“Valentine’s Day is always popular here, and rightly so. This year we want to give even more guests the opportunity to celebrate love throughout the entire weekend,” says Cellar Master Raffaele Mazzella.
Sommelier Ellen Lindegren has created three wine pairings in different styles, ranging from crisp and mineral-driven selections to powerful, aged bottles. The same menu is also available in Bar Zeppelin upstairs, where DJs play late into the night on Friday and Saturday.
