Copine by Jim&Jacob is a Southern European restaurant and bar at Kommendörsgatan 23 in Stockholm‘s upscale Östermalm district. It is the sister venue to Jim&Jacob, the group’s first restaurant, and the name means “girlfriend” in French. The kitchen describes her as French at heart but devoted to the food cultures of Southern Europe and the Mediterranean. Travelers come for grill-driven cooking, hand-cranked pasta, an Old World wine list with a deep Champagne focus, and a relaxed, generous neighborhood mood.
What to Expect at Copine by Jim&Jacob
The team cooks the food they like to eat themselves. Much of it comes off the grill: meat and fish dishes with Mediterranean seasoning, plus fresh pasta rolled by hand in the kitchen. Separate lunch and evening menus give midday diners a quicker, lighter format. Dinner stretches into a full evening of shared starters, grilled mains and dessert.
Wine is central to the experience. The list leans toward Old World producers in France, Italy and Spain, and the Champagne selection is a particular point of pride. The bar welcomes guests who just want a glass and a snack. In warmer months, the terrace on Kommendörsgatan adds outdoor seating. For groups, three private rooms (chambre séparée) offer seclusion while keeping the buzz of the dining room close.
- Grill Kitchen: Meat and fish cooked over the grill with Southern European flavors.
- Hand-Cranked Pasta: Fresh pasta made in-house daily.
- Champagne Focus: An Old World wine list with a deep Champagne selection.
- Chambre Séparée: Three private rooms, each with its own character, for lunches or dinners.
- Terrace and Bar: Seasonal outdoor seating and a bar for drop-in glasses.
