Freyja, Rooftop restaurant and bar in Södermalm district, Stockholm, Sweden.
Freyja is a rooftop restaurant and bar in Södermalm with both covered indoor seating and an expansive open terrace. The location offers views across the Riddarfjärden bay, surrounding neighborhoods, and the island of Djurgården.
Södermalm became known as an artistic quarter starting in the 19th century, when creative figures established studios and lived there. That history of independent creative work continues to shape the neighborhood's appeal and attracts restaurants and cultural ventures today.
The venue takes its name from the Norse goddess of love and beauty, reflecting how Stockholm's creative scene draws on regional identity and storytelling. The setting shows how contemporary dining spaces in this city honor Scandinavian heritage while remaining focused on the present moment.
The rooftop sits at height with access via stairs and elevators, so consider your comfort level with climbing or moving between levels before heading up. It fills quickly during evenings and weekends, so arriving early or checking availability ahead helps you get a good spot.
A small sausage kiosk operates at ground level, selling casual snacks while the main level serves fine dining above. Graffiti artwork decorates the terrace, creating an unusual mix of refined food and street art energy that catches many visitors off guard.
