Tak is a Nordic-Japanese restaurant and rooftop bar on the 13th and 14th floors of Brunkebergstorg 2-4 in central Norrmalm, Stockholm. It shares the building with Hobo Hotel. The kitchen cooks modern Scandinavian food with Japanese techniques and flavours. Travelers come for the refined fusion menu, a serious sake list, and a terrace overlooking the city’s rooftops toward Gamla Stan.
What to Expect at Tak
The main dining room on floor 13 serves a broad à la carte menu of hot and cold dishes at standard-height tables. Ingredients are chosen for season, quality and climate impact, then seasoned with Japanese influences such as miso, yuzu, dashi and grilling over charcoal. Tak describes its cooking as complex creations that are easy to like. Raw fish dishes, Nordic shellfish and sharing plates sit alongside an extensive wine list and one of Stockholm’s deepest sake selections.
One floor up, Izakaya on floor 14 offers a more casual, Japanese pub-style experience next to the rooftop bar and terrace. Tak also runs the units IMA and UNN, plus event spaces. The calendar includes a seasonal julbord (Christmas buffet) and an annual Sake Festival.
- Rooftop Bar & Terrace: The 14th-floor terrace has long views across Norrmalm and is popular for after-work drinks.
- Sake Program: A curated sake list is paired with the menu and celebrated at the yearly Sake Festival.
- Floor 13 Dining Room: Elegant à la carte dining with hot and cold Nordic-Japanese dishes.
- Izakaya: A relaxed, sharing-style format on floor 14.

Dogs are not allowed.
T-Centralen, served by all metro lines, is about a five-minute walk away. Kungsträdgården station on the blue line is even closer. Elevators run from street level to the upper floors, which makes the restaurant reachable for wheelchair users and strollers.
