Östermalm: Berns expanding at Stureplan

On January 10, 2013, Berns' expansion at Norrlandsgatan 24 will open the doors of Nosh & Chow featuring a restaurant, courtyard, and upscale speakeasy bar.  Norrlandsgatan is part of the new Bibliotekstan shopping district - dedicated to Swedish fashion.

Food from several world cuisines will be on the menu, based on Swedish ingredients. The restaurant will seat 150 on the ground floor.

Another restaurant will open upstairs in spring 2013, which will have its own concept and seat about 60 people. The interiors of the ground and second floors were designed by Catalan architect Lázaro Rosa Violán, whose previous achievements include popular restaurants like Boca Grande and Big Fish in Barcelona.

Two additional floors housing hotel/event suites and two hotel rooms on each floor will open in August 2013.

Address: Nosh and Chow, Norrlandsgatan 24. www.noshandchow.se
