TAPAS 28 is a candlelit, internationally minded tapas restaurant at Pontonjärgatan 28, 112 37 Stockholm, on the residential island of Kungsholmen. Rather than sticking strictly to Spain, the kitchen draws small plates from around the world, all made for sharing. It pairs those plates with a well-stocked bar and personal service, which is why locals, couples and groups return for relaxed evenings a short walk from the Norr Mälarstrand waterfront.
What to Expect at TAPAS 28
The menu is organised into snacks, vegetarian and cheese, fish and shellfish, meat and poultry, sides and dips, and desserts. Signature plates include tuna tartare in fried rice paper, scampi in hot garlic oil and sirloin with chimichurri. Smaller bites start with house-marinated olives and Marcona almonds at 69 SEK, while crispy potato chips with sour cream and whitefish roe cost 119 SEK. Diners can order their own favourites or choose the Tapas28 Experience and let the kitchen decide.
The dining room is intimate and softly lit, with candles on the tables and a mellow soundtrack. The drinks list covers wine, beer and cocktails for any occasion. Allergens are marked on the menu (gluten, lactose, milk protein, nuts, vegan), and gluten-free bread is available. The restaurant has been a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice winner several years running.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Friday and Saturday evenings fill up quickly, so book a table online in advance. An early seating around 5pm is the easiest way to get a quieter table. From Fridhemsplan, walk east along Fleminggatan and turn down toward the water. Space inside is tight, and the restaurant cannot accommodate strollers. Guests using wheelchairs should call ahead to discuss the entrance and seating.
Before dinner, stroll the Norr Mälarstrand promenade along Lake Mälaren, just a few minutes south. Rålambshovsparken is about a 10-minute walk west, and Stockholm City Hall (Stadshuset) is roughly 15 minutes east for golden-hour views across Riddarfjärden.
