Master Anders is the Kungsholmen brasserie that has held its corner since 1905. A French-Swedish kitchen and a long bar of beer and wine sit a couple of hundred metres from Radhuset, a rare Stockholm room that has barely moved in over a century.

Master Anders holds a corner at Pipersgatan 1 on Kungsholmen, roughly 200 metres from the Radhuset metro. Visit Stockholm notes that few restaurants have stayed at the same address as long as this one, which has traded here since 1905. It is a classic brasserie with French-Swedish cooking and a bar that pours both beer and wine, so it works as a dinner room and a drinking room at once.
The room
The look is turn-of-the-century brasserie: dark wood, mirrors and the patina of a room that has fed Kungsholmen for over a hundred years. White Guide lists it among the city's reliable classics, and the bar end is where you sit if you want a glass without committing to the full table service.
What to order
The kitchen runs a French-Swedish brasserie menu, so the bar drink to match is a glass off the long wine list or a cold beer rather than a cocktail programme. Pricing sits in the $$$ band, in line with a sit-down Stockholm brasserie. If you are here to eat, the classics are the safe order; if you are here to drink, take a stool at the bar and ask for a wine by the glass.
The crowd and best time to go
The crowd is Kungsholmen regulars, courthouse and office workers from nearby Radhuset, and diners who want a room with history. Hours run daily from 11:30am to midnight, so lunch, an after-work glass and a late dinner all land. Go early evening for a quiet wine at the bar, later for the fuller brasserie buzz.
What regulars say
Across Tripadvisor and Yelp (updated May 2026), the recurring praise is consistency and the sense of a genuine old-Stockholm brasserie that has not been made over. The honest caution is that this is a traditional restaurant with a bar rather than a dedicated cocktail or natural-wine destination, so set expectations toward the classic end.
Who it is for
This is for the diner who wants a classic Stockholm brasserie, and the drinker who would rather have a wine at a historic bar than chase a cocktail list. Skip it for a late dancefloor or a trend-led drinks menu. For more of the city, see our Stockholm wine bars guide and the full Stockholm bar guide.
Continuity is the selling point in a city that renovates its restaurants often. masteranders.se leans on the 1905 founding date, and the room has kept the brasserie format rather than chasing a concept reinvention, which is rare for a Stockholm address of this age. The Kungsholmen location helps: away from the Stureplan crowds, it draws a steadier neighbourhood and courthouse trade that keeps the bar busy on weeknights as well as weekends. Visit Stockholm points to the longevity as the headline, and the daily lunch-to-midnight hours mean the bar is rarely caught empty.
The verdict
Master Anders wins on longevity: a French-Swedish brasserie on the same Kungsholmen corner since 1905, with a long wine list and a bar built for a steady glass. Take a stool, order off the wine list, and enjoy a room that has outlasted most of its rivals.
