So, who better to guide you through the labyrinth of choices than some of Sweden’s most renowned and creative chefs themselves?
A number of brilliant Swedish chefs, known for their innovative approaches to Scandinavian culinary tradition and commitment to working with carefully-selected and locally-sourced produce, have set aside their knives, whisks and competitive natures to create a new restaurant guide.
