Restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden
One Michelin star. Book it seriously.
Nour holds a Michelin star and 82.5 La Liste points under chef Sayan Isaksson, making it one of Stockholm's more consistent €€€€ tasting-menu options. The creative, seasonally driven format rewards advance planning — book four to six weeks out minimum. For diners who want technically ambitious cooking tied to the Swedish seasonal calendar, it is worth the effort.
Nour holds a Michelin star and sits at 82.5 points on the La Liste global ranking (2025), which puts it in serious company for Stockholm's fine-dining tier. Chef Sayan Isaksson runs a creative tasting-menu format at Norrlandsgatan 24, and this is a hard table to get — book at least four to six weeks out, ideally further. If you want technically driven, seasonally led cooking at the leading of Stockholm's €€€€ bracket, Nour is worth the effort. If you want something easier to access in the same price tier, Ekstedt or Etoile may have more availability.
With a 4.6 Google rating across 112 reviews and back-to-back Michelin stars in 2024 and 2025, Nour has established itself as one of the more consistent performers in Stockholm's competitive fine-dining tier. La Liste's scoring — 82.5 points in 2025, nudging to 80 in 2026 , suggests a kitchen that delivers at a high level rather than one coasting on reputation. The scoring trajectory is worth noting: the 2026 La Liste figure represents a slight adjustment, not a collapse, but it does put Nour marginally behind some of the sharper climbers in the Swedish restaurant scene.
The atmosphere at Nour is focused and deliberate. This is not a room built for noise or spontaneity. The energy runs quiet and intentional , the kind of space where conversation stays at table level and the room itself signals that the meal is the point. If you are arriving expecting a lively, social dining atmosphere, recalibrate. Nour rewards guests who want to pay attention to what is on the plate. That suits the explorer-type diner well: this is a kitchen that gives you things to think about.
Chef Sayan Isaksson's creative format means the menu changes with the seasons, and this is where the booking logic becomes important. Stockholm's ingredient calendar is pronounced , the shift from late summer's Nordic produce into autumn's root vegetables, game, and preserved ingredients changes what you are eating substantially. Winter menus lean into cured, fermented, and aged elements; late spring brings fresh herbs, foraged greens, and lighter compositions. If you have flexibility on when to visit, late spring through early autumn tends to give you the widest range of fresh ingredients, but the winter menu at a kitchen this technically capable is rarely a downgrade , it is a different kind of meal. Book for when you can actually get a table, then treat the seasonal context as a frame for what to expect rather than a reason to delay.
Because this is a tasting-menu format driven by seasonal availability, the practical implication is that what you eat in March is genuinely different from what you eat in August. Isaksson's creative classification means the kitchen is not bound to a single national cuisine , expect ingredients and techniques drawn from across a wider culinary reference set, interpreted through a Nordic seasonal lens. For diners coming from outside Sweden, this positions Nour as an argument for the depth of Stockholm's fine-dining offer rather than a direct showcase of Swedish tradition. If that framing appeals to you, Nour is close to the right answer at this price point. For a more rooted Swedish experience at comparable expense, Operakällaren makes a stronger case.
Booking difficulty is real. Nour's combination of Michelin recognition and a compact dining room means availability is tight across most of the year. If you are planning a Stockholm trip specifically around a meal here, build your travel dates around the reservation rather than the other way around. Check availability early, and if you cannot get your preferred date, put yourself on a cancellation list , tables do move, especially midweek. Compared to Frantzén, which operates at a higher price point and is even harder to access, Nour represents a more attainable entry point to Stockholm's Michelin tier , but it is not an easy table.
Stockholm's fine-dining scene rewards the diner who plans ahead. Alongside Nour, venues like AIRA and Adam / Albin operate at a similar tier, and Sweden more broadly has a density of serious kitchens worth factoring into any food-focused trip. Outside Stockholm, Signum in Mölnlycke, Vollmers in Malmö, VYN in Simrishamn, 28+ in Gothenburg, ÄNG in Tvååker, and Knystaforsen in Rydöbruk each make a case for extending your itinerary beyond the capital. If Stockholm is your base, the city's broader dining options , from the accessible to the highly ambitious , are covered in our full Stockholm restaurants guide. For the rest of your trip, see our Stockholm hotels guide, bars guide, wineries guide, and experiences guide.
For context on how Nour's creative positioning compares internationally, kitchens like Alléno Paris au Pavillon Ledoyen and Arpège operate in a broadly comparable creative register at higher price points and with longer lead times. Nour is not trying to be those restaurants, but knowing the reference set helps calibrate expectations for what you are paying for.
Other Stockholm options worth considering at a different pace: Aloë for a more accessible creative format, and Black Milk Gastro Bar if you want quality cooking without the full tasting-menu commitment.
Yes, for most diners in the explorer category. A Michelin star backed by a 4.6 Google rating and consistent La Liste recognition at 82.5 points (2025) puts Nour in the upper tier of what Stockholm's €€€€ bracket can offer. The comparison to make is with AIRA and Adam / Albin, which operate in the same price tier with different culinary philosophies. Nour is worth the price if creative, seasonally driven cooking is your priority. If you want Swedish heritage cooking or fire-based technique, direct that budget to Operakällaren or Ekstedt instead.
No confirmed details on dietary accommodation are in our current data. Tasting-menu kitchens at Michelin level typically require notice of restrictions at the time of booking , contact the venue directly before reserving to confirm what they can and cannot accommodate. Do not assume they can adjust on the night; tasting menus are planned well in advance and last-minute changes are harder to absorb in a format like this.
If you are committed to the format, yes. The Michelin recognition and La Liste positioning confirm that the kitchen is operating at a level where a tasting menu makes sense as the vehicle for Isaksson's creative output. The seasonal rotation means repeat visits yield a genuinely different experience rather than the same menu with minor tweaks. If you are unsure about tasting menus as a format , the length, the commitment, the lack of choice , this is probably not the place to test that uncertainty at €€€€ pricing. Try Aloë or Black Milk Gastro Bar for a lower-stakes entry point.
Tasting-menu restaurants in Stockholm's Michelin tier generally accommodate solo diners at a counter or small table, but Nour's specific seating configuration is not confirmed in our data. Solo dining at this price point and format is more comfortable at venues with a dedicated counter , contact Nour directly to ask about solo seating options before booking. Stockholm has enough serious kitchens that solo diners have good options; if Nour cannot accommodate you as you want, AIRA and Adam / Albin are worth checking for their solo policies.
No confirmed dress code is on record, but at €€€€ pricing with a Michelin star, treat this as smart casual at minimum. Stockholm's fine-dining rooms at this tier are not formally black-tie environments, but the quiet, focused atmosphere at Nour means visibly casual clothing , trainers, jeans, casual layers , may feel out of place. Smart trousers and a clean shirt or equivalent is a safe benchmark. If in doubt, lean towards the smarter end; you will not be overdressed.
Seat count is not confirmed in our data. For groups of four or more at a tasting-menu restaurant, contact the venue directly well in advance , groups need specific table configurations and kitchens at this level often need more lead time for larger parties. If Nour cannot seat your group together, Operakällaren has more flexible private dining infrastructure for larger parties at a comparable price point in Stockholm.

How Nour stacks up against the competition.
For a Michelin-starred restaurant with back-to-back star recognition in 2024 and 2025 and 82.5 points on La Liste's 2025 global ranking, Nour sits at the credentialed end of Stockholm's €€€€ tier. If you're comparing it to Ekstedt or Adam/Albin at a similar price point, Nour is the stronger pick for creative, chef-driven cooking under Sayan Isaksson. If you're price-sensitive, the value case depends on how much you prioritise culinary ambition over setting.
Michelin-starred restaurants at Nour's level routinely accommodate dietary requirements when notified in advance — this is standard practice in Stockholm's fine-dining tier. check the venue's official channels at Norrlandsgatan 24 or via their reservations channel before your visit to confirm what they can accommodate. Don't assume; flag it at booking.
Given the Michelin star and La Liste recognition, Nour's tasting menu is the format the kitchen is built around — it's the right way to eat here. If you want à la carte flexibility, Nour is not that restaurant. For structured, course-by-course creative dining under Sayan Isaksson, the tasting menu is the correct choice and the value case is solid relative to comparable Stockholm options.
Stockholm's Michelin tier generally accommodates solo diners, and Nour's creative tasting menu format works well for a single seat. Check directly with the restaurant about counter or bar seating, which tends to be the most comfortable solo configuration at this level. A €€€€ solo dinner here is a considered spend, but the cooking credentials justify it if that's your format.
Stockholm's fine-dining scene reads less formally than Paris or London at the same price point — sharp casual to business casual is typically appropriate at Michelin-starred venues in this city. Nour's creative cuisine positioning suggests the room leans modern rather than old-school formal. Avoid trainers and overly casual clothing; beyond that, you won't be out of place in well-chosen separates.
Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurants in Stockholm typically cap comfortable group sizes at six to eight before the experience becomes logistically strained. For larger parties, contact Nour directly at Norrlandsgatan 24 to ask about private dining or buyout options. Groups of two to four will have the easiest time booking and the most cohesive experience given the format.
