Overview

Celeste represents a pinnacle of contemporary Swedish dining, earning its first Michelin star in 2024. Situated on the eighth floor of the Batteriet building in Södermalm, this ambitious restaurant is the sister establishment to the acclaimed Étoile. The venue seamlessly blends fine dining with casual rooftop bar culture, offering guests the flexibility to experience either the tasting menu in the dining room, cocktails on the terrace, or a combination of both.

Culinary Philosophy

Under the creative direction of Head Chef Jonas Lagerström—a two-time winner of the Swedish television competition Kockarnas Kamp—and co-chef Michael Andersson, Celeste emphasizes seasonal ingredients and innovative techniques rooted in Swedish culinary traditions. The kitchen operates with precision and balance, ensuring each ingredient receives meticulous attention. The tasting menu changes with the seasons, featuring two options: Lilla Avsmakningsmeny (smaller selection) and Stora Avsmakningsmeny (comprehensive exploration). Signature dishes highlight the natural flavors of locally sourced produce, with particular attention to sustainability and ingredient quality.

Dining Experience

Guests are welcomed with complimentary snacks before being seated at tables facing the open kitchen, creating an interactive dining experience.

The warm, welcoming atmosphere balances sophistication with approachability, reflecting the young and ambitious ethos of the team.
