Mäster Anders Stockholm: History, Menu, Prices and Visit Guide

Mäster Anders Stockholm is a charcoal-grill brasserie at Pipersgatan 1 on Kungsholmen, run by the company Mäster Anders AB, whose website credits the Stockholm restaurant group Gruppo Italiano. The name goes back to an inn the cook Anders Månsson Holm opened in 1692; the tiled dining room you eat in today dates from 1905. Come for steak, råbiff and meatballs. Not for a burger: the official menu I went through in October 2026 has none.

I put this profile together from the restaurant’s own site and menu, Swedish Wikipedia, the Swedish company register Allabolag, and three local guides: Krogguiden, Thatsup and Visit Stockholm. Every source was checked on 10 October 2026. I have not eaten here yet, so what follows is a documented profile, not a tasting verdict. And if you arrived looking for Jens Dolk: no source I found ties him to Mäster Anders in any role.

Mäster Anders Stockholm at a glance

Mäster Anders is a mid-sized brasserie on Kungsholmen, open for dinner Monday to Saturday and built around a charcoal grill.

Is there a burger at Mäster Anders?

No. The current official menu of Mäster Anders lists no burger or hamburger.

One aggregator snippet promises “juicy hamburgers”, with no source and no date behind it. I couldn’t find a single record of a burger ever being served here, so I won’t claim one. If a burger is the point of your Stockholm trip, look elsewhere on our Stockholm city hub and keep Mäster Anders for a night of grilled beef.

History of Mäster Anders: from a 1692 inn to a Kungsholmen brasserie

Mäster Anders began in 1692 as an inn opened by the cook Anders Månsson Holm on Kungsholmen, and moved to its current address, Pipersgatan 1, in 1905.

Holm had cooked for the statesman Nils Gyldenstolpe before going into business for himself. He kept the inn at Kungsholmsgatan 6 (later renumbered 16) until his death in 1715, and his family held on to it for more than a century after that. That succession rests on Swedish Wikipedia alone; I found no second source.

The 1905 dining room

The dining room dates from the 1905 move, and its mustard-yellow tiled walls, brown wooden furniture and clinker floor are original. Put the 1920s photo of the room next to recent pictures and the walls and floor are the same. For me, that room is the real heritage here. More than the 1692 date.

Bellman, Anckarström and the murder of Gustav III

The restaurant’s own history says the poet Carl Michael Bellman ate at the inn, and that Anckarström and his co-conspirators plotted the murder of King Gustav III there. Read both as house legend. Swedish Wikipedia repeats the Bellman link; for the Anckarström plot I found nothing independent at all.

Is Mäster Anders the oldest restaurant in Stockholm?

No, not as a restaurant that has run without a break. The name dates to 1692, but the business was a café from 1856 to 1893 and changed address in 1905. Calling it Stockholm’s oldest restaurant stretches the records further than they go.

Who owns Mäster Anders today?

Mäster Anders is run by Mäster Anders AB, a company registered on 21 March 2006 and chaired by Jörgen Åstrand; the restaurant’s website credits the Stockholm group Gruppo Italiano.

Per Allabolag (checked 10 October 2026), Mäster Anders AB (org. no. 556700-2968) has 11 employees. For the fiscal year ending August 2025 it reported revenue of SEK 18.579 million and a profit after financial items of SEK 652,000.

Two clues tie it to Gruppo Italiano. The group is credited in the masteranders.se footer, and Jörgen Åstrand also sits on the board of Gruppo Italiano AB as a deputy member. Angelo Ottobre founded Gruppo Italiano in 1989; his son Marsel and Toto run it today.

What I couldn’t pin down: when the group got involved and on what terms, or who owned the restaurant between 2006 and now. One Thatsup review mentions “two new owners” without names or a date. The menu is signed by Rony Eriksson and Robin Lindberg, with no titles, so I am not naming a head chef.

What to eat at Mäster Anders: the charcoal grill and the classics

The reason to go to Mäster Anders is the charcoal grill (träkolsgrill), and above all the whole-grilled Swedish T-bone of about 1 kg; råbiff and meatballs carry the Swedish side of the menu.

The menu calls itself “Depuis 1905. Cuisine select de Stockholm, Paris & New York”, under a logo reading Brasserie Grill Restaurant. All prices below come from the official menu as published in October 2026. The PDF carries no date, so expect changes.

Mäster Anders menu prices: the charcoal grill

Mäster Anders charcoal-grill prices in SEK, October 2026 (horizontal bar chart): pork chop 255, Arctic char 260, albacore tuna 270, Black Angus sirloin 325, beef fillet tournedos 380, Black Angus entrecôte 395, and the 1 kg Swedish T-bone for two at 1,550. (Chart: Burger Breton, data from the official Mäster Anders menu (undated PDF, checked 10 October 2026))

The 1 kg Swedish T-bone

Order the Swedish T-bone. It weighs about 1 kg, goes on the charcoal whole and arrives with tomato and onion salad, béarnaise and fries for SEK 1,550, which is a dish for two. Eating alone? The Black Angus entrecôte at SEK 395 is the steak I would pick, SEK 15 more than the fillet and, as a ribeye cut, better suited to charcoal.

Classics, starters and seafood

The råbiff is made from beef fillet ground in house, a detail most Stockholm brasseries don’t bother to print. Between the T-bone, the råbiff and the house meatballs, you have the three dishes that say the most about this kitchen.

Is Mäster Anders a good pick for steak in Stockholm?

Mäster Anders is a reasonable pick for steak in Stockholm if you want history with your dinner: the menu centres on Black Angus cuts and a charcoal-grilled T-bone. The ratings, though, are mixed and thin.

Thatsup readers give it 3.5/5, but from only 15 ratings. Dagens Nyheter’s 2/5 dates from May 2018, a long time in restaurant years, and the 2003 Gulddraken is older still. My take: book it for the grill and the 1905 room, order the T-bone, and don’t expect a destination kitchen.

How much does dinner at Mäster Anders cost?

A starter and a main at Mäster Anders cost about SEK 400 to 560 per person before drinks, at October 2026 prices; the shared T-bone pushes that to SEK 775 each.

• Classic Swedish dinner: toast Skagen (SEK 185) plus meatballs (SEK 215) comes to SEK 400.
• Steak dinner: small råbiff (SEK 165) plus Black Angus entrecôte (SEK 395) comes to SEK 560.
• T-bone for two: SEK 1,550 split two ways is SEK 775 each, sides included.
• Oysters to start: SEK 45 each, so six cost SEK 270.

The restaurant is cashless. Bring a card or phone.
