Frantzén Group to Open Emberlin at Stureplan on October 22

On October 22, Frantzén Group will open Emberlin at Stureplan 8 in Stockholm. Reservations are now open at emberlin.se

Emberlin is Frantzén Group’s take on a grill restaurant, featuring an extensive à la carte menu, open-fire cooking, a bar and a lively dining room. The menu ranges from crudo to carefully selected cuts of meat, fish, seafood, poultry and vegetables prepared on the grill.

Björn Frantzén, Founder of Frantzén Group:

“Opening a grill restaurant has been a dream of mine for a long time, and it feels incredibly exciting to finally do it our way, here in Stockholm. This is the kind of restaurant I would love to visit myself, and something I’ve felt has been missing in the city. I want Emberlin to be a place with really great food, plenty of energy and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer.”

The kitchen is led by Christian Ekman, who most recently served as Head Chef at Brasserie Astoria in Stockholm, where he was part of the team from its opening. Restaurant Manager Lukas Jaktlund returns to Stockholm after opening Brasserie Frantzén in Dubai, having previously spent many years at Frantzén in Stockholm.

Emberlin is located at Stureplan 8, in a space that has never previously housed a restaurant. Upon entering, guests first encounter the bar, followed by an adjoining dining room with 58 seats. The interiors have been developed in collaboration with architecture firm FOJAB.

“For me, it’s important that the interiors feel like a natural fit for both the space and its surroundings, with authentic materials at the heart of the design. That’s what we’ve worked to achieve together with FOJAB. Certain details nod to the 1980s, with chrome and black leather. At the same time, we want to challenge the conventional idea of what a grill restaurant should look like. Just as with the food, we want to create something with its own distinct identity, its own DNA, that runs through the entire experience,” says Stefan Gissberg, Partner & DNA Director at Frantzén Group.

Emberlin will initially open for dinner seven days a week, staying open until 2 AM from Wednesday to Saturday. Lunch service will be introduced later this autumn. The bar will feature an ambitious cocktail programme, with DJs from Wednesday to Saturday and vinyl sessions on Wednesdays. The bar is as much a destination in its own right as a place to start or end the evening.
