Rosendals Trädgård

I absolutely love the concept of this place, and while the food was great, I’d recommend avoiding it on weekends because its chaos, which takes away from the enjoyment.
The location is in the middle of the beautiful Djurgarden island, which is a lovely walk itself. The greenhouses and plants which immediately surround the café are also very nice and make more a nice setting for eating (if you can manage to get some food).
The baked items all looked delicious but we didn’t sample any. There were sandwiches available plus there were 3 items listed on the board — a brisket dish, a salad, and a soup. I think its safe to assume there is always something vegetarian available. I didn’t see any signs of a buffet when we were there on Sunday afternoon around 1pm.
You select what you want from the table or order at the counter, then stand around until they bring the food out. The line was very long when we were there, and though the staff was friendly, it was a challenge to order and then get our food. And then there weren’t any clean cups available for water. One you get your food you’re welcome to find any seat and there are many of them in various spots on the property, but its a bit of a trick to carry a large bowl of hot soup around and try and fight other patrons for a seat. That said, the carrot soup was delicious.
I’d still recommend going but definitely pick an off time to have a more peaceful experience.

Ce lieu n’est pas de ceux que je m’attends à voir dans une capitale: des jardins, des serres, divers endroits pour acheter de quoi manger ou pour jardiner. Tout cela est en plus situé sur une des îles les plus fréquentées de Stockholm puisque sur «l’ile des musées» (où vous trouverez (pour né citer que les deux plus connus) le Vasaatmuseet ou le musée d’Abba) et où tous les restaurants que j’ai vus étaient d’une gamme de prix très élevés (hormis bien sûr les cafeteria des musées).
Le cadre d’abord: un havre totalement reposant… Sommes-​nous réellement encore dans une capital tant tout semble ici calme, relaxant et champêtre.
Le concept ensuite: cultiver des légumes, fruits et fleurs bio, les proposer à la vente chez un primeur ou préparer dans un restaurant et toujours en respectant la saisonnalité des fruits et légumes.
J’ai pu donc y manger un midi (il me semble que le restaurant n’est ouvert que pour ce service, de 11h30 à 14h). Une ardoise indique les plats du jour (tous écrit en suédois mais né vous inquiétez pas, on saura très bien vous les expliquer en anglais). Sur une grande table, tous les gâteaux sont disposés, impossible à rater quand vous arrivez. Je vous conseille de réserver votre plat qui, comme il est fait minute mettra une dizaine voire quinzaine de minutes à être prêt et à vous pencher plus attentivement sur tous les gâteaux ensuite (autant que le temps d’attente serve à quelque chose après tout). Il y a toujours un plat de viande et un plat de poisson, pour des prix ce jour-​là allant de 145 SEK à 165 SEK. Une soupe de tomate était également disponible, à 95 SEK. Le restaurant dispose d’un grand choix de vins (et même quelques-​uns français et italiens).
Mon plat de poisson était composé d’un hareng fumé avecsa peau (et malheureusement pour moi, avec ses arrêtes), d’une sauce aux herbes, de carottes rôties et de crudités.
Le plat de viande était composé d’agneau préparé comme du farcis ainsi que de poireau. Déception pour ce plat qui était beaucoup moins «fin» que mon plat de poisson.
Des kanelbulle (28 SEK), des gâteaux roulés, des «rochers» et des gâteaux secs étaient disponibles en dessert. Ils étaient pas mal, mais pas sûr qu’il faille la peine devenir ici si ce n’est que pour eux :).
Début mai nous avons pu manger dehors (attention toutefois aux abeilles). Sinon, des tables sont présentes sous une serre.
Quand vous avez terminé de manger, il faut débarrasser vos plats et couverts de la table et les mettre dans un endroit prévu pour eux. Pensez également au recyclage, une poubelle est prévue pour cela.
Une belle expérience que je recommande à quiconque à l’opportunité d’aller à Stockholm. J’ai adoré le cadre, on y mange bien, le concept est génial, et en prime c’est super relaxant. Rien de tel avant d’affronter la foule des musées non loin.

Woohoo! Walking to this café I enjoyed very much. We stayed in Sweden for a week. I felt like I was there on a movie set. The landscape and the architectural was phenomenal. I enjoyed the beautiful garden.

If you are looking for a great and relaxing place, this us your destination!
Very beautiful garden, chill music, good food and good teas!
If you are visiting Stockholm, include this place in your trip plan!

When walking up to RT, you don’t think that much of it. It seems like it’s a normal greenhouse with a few tables to the side. But, once you get your food and go to sit down, you end up wandering through all this nature! TIP: keep walking all the way in the back. didn’t even realize you could sit in the the apple orchard until after we were done! I’m sure people out living in a beautiful part of the countryside probably don’t think too much of it here, but it’s so nice to sit in a garden when you’ve been cooped up in a Stockholm apartment most of the year! I love flowers!!! This was so nice!
We only came here for a fika (swedish coffee and desert break). The cake and cookie were good, though not earth shatteringly amazing. I think a lot of what I hear about this place is people gushing about the main course options and how they are organic and great. I have not been here for that yet, so I can’t really comment on it. However, this place is a nice little retreat even for a little snack, like what we had! I’m looking forward to apple picking and flower cutting here next time (it was mentioned in a few other reviews that I didn’t get to read before hand! I’ve totally got to check that out!) You’ll have to see my updates when those come along, but for now this place gets an «A-​ok» rating for the garden alone! =)

A treat after riding bikes on the island.

I had some cold cut meat with green lenses which tasted great! It was quite a chilly day so we were pretty cold sitting outside (inside there was no space). It’s pretty expensive though but on the other hand they do have amazing bread and a wide variety of coffee bread to go along your latte in their rosengarden.

Hands down best bread in Stockholm. Great place for spending many hours enjoying the nature with super tasty sweets and food. Highly recommended for a picnic. In the summer they sell the vegetables and fruit grown there

I had looked on here for places to eat on Djurgården and this place caught my eye right away. There were no photos of how it looked in winter so I wasnt sure if it would still be nice to go to but IT WAS! The fairy lights, snow, and icicles gave a magical atmosphere. I had carrot cake and my husband had a cinnamon bun, both were delicious! The café area inside an old greenhouse was so cozy. I’d love to visit here in the summer as well. I wish we would have known beforehand that the café has its own parking lot for customers. Parking it quite expensive on Djurgården so we walked quite a long ways when we possibly could have parked for free on the island since we ate at the café. It is a pretty small lot though and I would imagine in the summer it would be filled up really quickly but since it was winter it was hardly full, plus it was the first day they had opened again for the year.

Rosendals Trädgård is an open organic garden in Djurgården Stockholm. Nice place for picnic after a bike ride or hike.
You can find delicious and healthy organic food here in Rosendäls Trädgård. Want to go back for more cinnamon rolls!

Thank you Unilocal for this recommendation! It was such a nice hike and to be rewarded to find this. It did seem like most of the people that were here were Swedish from an older generation. The location was something out of a movie with beautiful flowers and manicured landscaping. You are able to pick the flowers for a small fee to rent the scissors from the garden shop. Probably one of the most scenic gardens I have ever visited.
You have the option to purchase the daily menus from behind the counter or pick what you like from the buffet. I enjoyed my cheese sandwich for lunch. The cookies for dessert were absolutely fabulous. They were probably the best non-​homemade cookie I have ever had. They have a variety of carbonated juices, beer, and wine. The prices were average for Stockholm. You are able to eat in the gardens or around the café.

These gardens were a little slice of heaven. When visiting Stockholm, I would blast this little gem right up to the top of your list, weather providing. Here’s what you do. You get yourself a bike. Stockholm has so many bike lanes and so few bikers– it’s almost too good to be true. Get to know the islands a bit by taking a leisurely (bike) stroll, and then make your way over to Djurgarden at the end of the morning. Get lost a bit on the island and then find your way to Rosendals Trägård. Get lost again. The grounds are spectacular. An extremely relaxed and beautiful atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to have your lunch. They have both an organic café with quiches and sandwiches and sweets, plus teas and coffee, soda and beer. Or you can go to the little shop next door for a more DIY picnic. There are tables and chairs set up right in front of the café, but I prefer to wander out a bit further and enjoy my lunch under the fruit trees.
Really– magical.

I know people are cuckoo for cocoa puffs about this place and it is absolutely in a fantastic location, very relaxed atmosphere and a chance to get out of the city and all that but I can’t say I’m completely drinking the cool aid for this one. I’ve had the salmon here last year and I remember it being good and I had the chocolate cake today and it was definitely heavy but tasty and well made. Its a place you should definitely visit and sure I guess making it a tradition to return every summer isn’t so bad. Its a beautiful area. Yeah, okay, I get it but don’t forget about the café a bit further east by the bridge to gardet and I believe there’s a café towards the end of the walking path which runs along the northern border of the island too which is also a beautiful area with a view of the sea.

Rosendals is a treat by itself — lush gardens, apple trees full of fruits, flowers everywhere, and a great playground. Add to that a café that makes organic food and a little shop that sells organic produce make it a lot more inviting. The food in the café is very tasty, although quite expensive. However, you can bring your own picnic basket and mat and lounge under the sun by the apple trees to save on cash. Great place to spend a day.

Fantastic location for a café, however slightly difficult to find. We arrived to the island via boat and a few more signs to the café would have been appreciated!
We ordered a salad and fish, both of which were packed full of flavour. We could tell that the salad and vegetables were grown in the grounds! My friend the went back for a gluten free dessert, which was fresh and tasty.
The small shop next to the café is fantastic! Many breads, oils, jams and chutneys to purchase! The gardens that the café are situated in are great, we went in summer so there was an abundance of flowers and vegetable patches, that then leads out into an orchard with picnic benches.
The organic/​homegrown food, décor and gardens make for a very pleasant lunch!

Rosendals Trädgård is definitely a must visit if you’re ever in Stockholm! I can’t believe I haven’t visited sooner. It’s located in the same area as Skansen and the ABBA museum. I came here for a late lunch with my sister and I ordered a herring salad and my sister ordered a soup. We went at around 1 or 2 PM I think and the kitchen was about to close so I was glad we got there when we did! There were sandwiches and desserts available for purchase after that time as well though. For dessert, my sister had some pastries and I had some caramel ice cream from the gift shop which I enjoyed.
I enjoyed the food better at Wärdshuset Ulla Winbladh but the ambience here is what made this place so amazing. The gardens were so beautiful and it looked like a great place to bring a picnic.

Having lunch or a cup of coffee under the apples trees of Rosendals trädgård is one of my favorite activities in Stockholm. The coffee/​lunch can be purchased on the pricey coffee in the vicinity if your budget allowes. Rent a city bike and combine this with a bike around Djurgården and you have a perfect day in Stockholm.

I do understand why this café has been ranked no.1 in Stockholm by the White Guide, it is truly grand and beautiful — it is a must visit for locals and tourist.
In the middle of the Rosendals garden there is a greenhouse, which actually is the café itself. During summers I would recommend sitting on the grass or near the blooming trees and have a pick nick. But now during autumn, it is just as lovely to sit indoors sipping a hot cup of coffee.
The café is niched towards selling ecological products and even though eco products are usually a lot more expensive in Stockholm, the price for most of their things are very reasonable. The café has a small variety of pastries, ice cream and buns and offers simple lunches such as salads. The bakery which is next to the café is also a must visit, last time going here I bought some freshly baked shortbread which was really delicious.

Cette endroit unique représente tout ce que j’aime avec Stockholm, la nature en pleine ville. Un jardin public ou l’on cultive des fleurs, fruits et légumes bio. Pour tout ceux qui pense que Suède se limite à –15°C et des pommes de terres, vous allez être surprises ici. Tomates, fraises, rhubarbe, roses et capucines, radis, raisins, fraises de bois, fleurs de champs et beaucoup plus partage les terres de Rosendal
.
Après une ballade dans le jardin, un café s’impose sous les pommiers. Au café de Rosendal on peut déguster des pâtisseries, sandwich et salades avec des produits du jardin ou autre producteurs locaux. Mais ce n’est pas tout. Des serres, une boutique avec des plantes, semences et ustensiles de jardin, une boulangerie, une boutique gourmande, un champs ou l’on peut cueillir des fleurs (39skr/​hg si je me souviens bien) et un restaurant à privatiser pour des grands et petits événements.
Le plus beaux chemin pour y accéder c’est le bateaux de Gamla Stan ou Slussen, montes jusqu’au jardin et né soit surprises si tu croise un cheval, une vache ou un mouton sur le chemin.

The best place in the whole world to have a Sunday breakfast-​brunch. In autumn it is so beautiful with all those different colors in the garden and with new harvest on the fields. Very cosy feeling to seat outside and enjoy the last sun before the winter. In spring, divine place to smell blossoming apple trees and enjoy the weekend. The place is hidden from the crouds and it is not that easy just to run on it during a walk, which makes this place even more special, and just «for locals».

Summertime in Stockholm can be fantastic. And to truly enjoy it to the fullest, you need to spend some time outdoors and away from clustered shopping districts. To accomplish this, there are many options in the woods hours away, or an island that might take a 1 ½ hour — 2 hour ferry ride. Or you can take the bus over to Djurgarden and have nice walk to this park /​café area.
They serve very tasty food, it seems that a lot of it is locally sourced. You will find a couple meat dishes, a seafood option, a vegetarian option and then just some nice salads or pastries for those with a sweet tooth.. Prices are kinda expensive, but you may have already figured out that any dining out in Stockholm involves a dent in your wallet/​purse. But this is a spot worth getting some food at and then lounging on their large grass lawns. And if an apple has fallen to the ground, you are welcome to take it as yours.

Food is excellent here: I had their tomato soup a gloomy November day and it lifted my spirits high! The glass roof lets in wonderful light which makes it an excellent winter spot to enjoy some precious day light. My boyfriend ate oxe and it was prepared to perfection and came with a delicious potato mash. The guy we ordered from helped him to an extra large serving since he was very hungry. The garden is fantastic with apple trees and different crops on the grounds and summertime you can sit outside or bring a blanket of your own. They sell some of their produce in their store. The only bad part about this place is that it is usually packed with people and that they only have two (!) restrooms for the probably over 100 guests that they have at any given time on a normal weekend day.

Somehow this place has become the Holy Grail of ambience in Stockholm. I really like it too, but I’m not in love. That said, it is incredibly romantic to stroll the gardens, have a cup of tea in the café and just rest up from the walk you’ve inevitably had here from the city.

Ideal für ein Picknick mit der Familie, und das haben sich mit mir wohl auch ca. 200 andere Familien gedacht, die sich dort an diesem sonnigen Tag unter den Obstbäumen tummelten.

nettes selbstbedienungscafé in einem gewächshaus auf der insel djurgården. es gibt kleine snacks, suppen und kuchen aus biologischem anbau.
es ist schön auch auf diese grüné und ruhige insel zu fahren, jenseits dem großstadt-​trubel…

ROSENDALS GARDEN ist wohl einer der schönsten und entspannendsten Orte in Stockholm. Der Garten ist auf der Halbinsel Djurgården gelegen und lädt auf Wiesen zwischen Bäumen zum Entspannen ein. In der Nähe erhält man zudem Kaffee und Kuchen — alles sehr unkonventionell.
