the Tavern at Mariatorget

Try Tavernan’s best-seller on the menu—Korean Fried Chicken—deep-fried chicken tossed in a spicy and flavorful gochujang sauce, topped with fresh chili peppers, crisp cucumber, toasted sesame seeds, and pickled red onion. A perfect balance of sweetness, heat, acidity, and crispiness—a dish that will leave you wanting just one more bite. You can find our entire seven-page menu and wine list here. If you’d like to make a reservation, you can easily do so online here.

On the Board, Monday through Friday

Monday through Friday: a new lunch special every day for only 165 SEK. See the full weekly menu here.

A glass of wine, lunch, coffee, or dinner?

The tavernconsists of four rooms on the street level and a mezzanine—five distinct spaces, a gathering place focused on coffee, food, wine, and social areas. The tavern’s menu is filled with Scandinavian delicacies, a touch of the Mediterranean breeze, topped off with a few Asian influences. May we tempt you with a Steak Minute served with tomato salad, French fries, and béarnaise sauce? 

The Gallery

The gallery is one of Tavernan's many rooms. Here, the walls are decorated with photographs by Ulla Montan’s —both recent and older photographs—of many of Södermalm’s cultural figures. Here, writers, composers, actors, boxers, artists, and singers come together—don’t miss this fantastic collection that we’ve been building since 2003. 

The Gallery – a dining room for up to 25 guests

Pre-dinner drinks are being served on the Tavernan’s mezzanine; the appetizers are set out in the Gallery; and now the guests are seated at their tables.

The Gallery, located on the ground floor, is the perfect small and intimate space for a party, family dinner, sports get-together, or corporate dinner. In the Gallery, which seats 25 guests, we organize parties and dinners tailored entirely to the wishes of the evening’s host, hostess, or host couple. For larger groups in the Gallery, we offer the same generous and delicious menu served throughout the rest of “ the Tavern.” Lill-Christine Asp, Tavernan’s restaurant manager, would be happy to take your call or email. Print Tavernan’s menu here. As the party draws to a close, everyone is welcome to come into Watson's Bar where the evening can continue and turn into a night out!

Outdoor seating from April through October

We always look forward to April, because that’s when we open our outdoor seating area with the best view of the hustle and bustle at Mariatorget. After lunch, the sun comes out, and on many evenings it stays out until closing time…
