A new German liebling

The new German bistro Liebling replaces Paradiso’s restaurant on Södermalm. It’s the newest venture by the people behind Tjoget, Paradiso and Positano, and Liebling will offer classic German dishes like schnitzel, sausages and strudel. The focus is firmly on good raw produce. A wide range of sausages is promised, sourced from German sausage makers. “The menu is straightforward and simple with starters, mains and desserts made with love and raw produce of the highest quality. With the current state of society in mind, we will also offer a good amount of dishes and products as take-away over our deli counter,” says Elias Nador, head chef at Tjoget and one of the main creators of Liebling.

The bistro interior is inspired by modern Germany, where German culture meets influential places like Paris and New York. So you won’t see any stereotypical German interiors in brown and grey. “We want to show people the Germany we experience when we visit relatives and friends in Berlin, Munich or New

York. Which of course is far from what many still associate with everything German,” says Andreas Bergman from the Tjoget team.

Behind the concept, we primarily find Elias Nador, but it’s Gustav Hökstrand who takes the role as restaurant manager. Hökstrand was part of the team who won Aloë its second Michelin star, and he has also worked at Hornstulls Bodega and Esperanto. In the kitchen we also find Andreas Froebrich, author of a cookbook about the German food culture, and born and raised in Germany. Together they want to create an relaxed and inclusive atmosphere with well-priced food.

Downstairs from Liebling, in a basement fresh from a makeover, they have their own beer bar.

Liebling, Timmermansgatan 24, bookings possible from mid November.
