AG – Stockholm’s Inner Sanctum of Scandinavian Meat Mastery

Hidden away in a former silver factory on Kungsholmen, AG is Stockholm’s worst-kept secret—and proudly so. With its masculine interiors, stainless steel details and moody lighting, this is not merely a restaurant. It is Sweden’s ultimate homage to meat, a serious, confident steakhouse that has set the bar for Nordic carnivores for over a decade.

In 2025, AG doesn’t just maintain its place among the world’s elite—it asserts it more clearly than ever, thanks in no small part to the ongoing excellence of Martin Kjäll, the restaurant’s longtime Meat Master, who this year was recognised with the coveted Meat Master of the Year award by us. His influence is unmistakable in every cut that enters the kitchen, from sourcing and aging to precise trimming and final execution.

The AG beef programme is among the most ambitious in the world. Swedish dairy cow beef, aged for up to 90 days in AG’s signature dry-ageing room, is a house speciality—its flavour deep, nutty and entirely unique. Alongside it, you’ll find Galician old cow, Australian Wagyu and meticulously selected Japanese A5, all cooked over high-heat charcoal grills for maximum flavour and contrast. Every steak is a study in provenance, marbling and maturity.

AG’s ethos is grounded in transparency and craft. You see the meat. You choose your cut. You taste the difference. Even the house burger, served with bone marrow mayonnaise and pickled onions, is a masterclass in balance and indulgence.

The space itself exudes a moody urban elegance—think butcher hooks, black leather and open flames. The dry-ageing room is on display like a museum exhibit and the wine cellar offers everything from muscular Rioja to crisp northern whites—perfect for navigating a menu that ranges from bold to subtle.

Service is slick, casual and informed—never pretentious, always efficient. The sommelier team works with precision, guiding guests through both classic pairings and offbeat gems.

In 2025, AG is not simply Sweden’s best steak restaurant—it is one of Europe’s most complete meat destinations and ranked within the Top 10 of our list. With Johan Jureskog at the helm, curating one of the continent’s most refined beef selections, the restaurant is a testament to how far passion and precision can go when they are given the room to burn.
