Cook with us

Opened in October 2024, Kanon is an open-fire restaurant in Stockholm, cooking over live flame with inspiration from the Levant, the Mediterranean and South America. We opened with a simple conviction: that the best meals happen when different culinary traditions meet at the same table.

How we think about food

We source carefully, cook directly, and let the ingredients lead. Our menu draws from the grilling traditions of the Levant, the Mediterranean and South America, not as fusion, but as curiosity. An ongoing conversation between techniques, flavours and cultures that we find endlessly interesting.

We seat around 100 guests each evening, across two sittings. The room is built around the kitchen. Guests are close to the action, close to the team, and close to each other.

The team

Kanon's kitchen is led by Linda, Joel and Sebastian. Between them they bring a wide range of references and techniques, and a shared curiosity for what happens when different culinary traditions share the same fire.

Much of our team, in the kitchen and on the floor, has followed us from our previous restaurants. It's a close-knit group that knows how to work together, and that makes for a kitchen that's easy to step into.

What a collaboration looks like

We invite you for a one- or two-night residency, typically Wednesday and Thursday. You bring your perspective and your cooking. We provide the kitchen, the equipment, the sourcing support and the guests.

Here's what we take care of:

Return flights and accommodation in Stockholm
Full kitchen access and prep time from day one
Sourcing assistance for any ingredients you need
All front-of-house operations and reservations
Communication and marketing to our audience

The restaurant seats 100 guests per sitting, with two sittings each evening, meaning your cooking reaches over 400 people across the two nights.

The menu is yours to shape. We're happy to collaborate closely with our kitchen team if that's interesting to you, or to step back and give you the full stage. Either works for us.

From the moment you arrive, you'll have a dedicated point of contact on our team who handles everything beyond the kitchen. You won't need to think about the details. You focus on the cooking, we take care of the rest.

An exchange, not a booking

We're interested in more than a great dinner. We want to swap techniques, hear the stories behind the dishes, and learn something we couldn't have learned otherwise. We hope you'll leave with something too, whether that's a new ingredient, a different way of working, or just a few good days in a city you haven't cooked in before.

We've done this before

We've hosted René Cantina from Peru for a collaborative dinner, run a Winemakers Dinner with producers from France, Italy and South Africa, and put together "Legendernas Januari": a month-long series where our favorite people in the Stockholm restaurant scene each created a dish for a week. We know how to build an event around a guest and make it matter.

The city

Stockholm is small enough that the exciting news travels fast. The food community here is tight-knit, internationally minded and genuinely curious, many of our guests follow the global restaurant scene closely and will already know your work before they sit down.

Come summer you will find our lively outdoor seating area filled with people enjoying food and drinks. Come in late autumn or winter and you'll find darkness, candlelight and a room full of people who came specifically because you did.
