Savoj, a well-loved restaurant run by brothers Jonathan and Andreas Azizsson, is expanding its presence to the neighborhood in Södermalm. The new Restaurant will feature the same concept, offering Neapolitan pizza, small dishes, and a selection of natural wines.

Opening: “MESS” – early 2024 (Stockholm)
Soon, Stockholm's culinary scene will experience new and vibrant influences. In 2024, MESS is set to open at Mäster Samuelsgatan 19 in Stockholm. This new restaurant concept is entirely novel for Sweden, perhaps even for the world. Spearheaded by property developer Jimmie Hall, Mess aims to revolutionize the dining experience by featuring multiple restaurants under one roof, each with its own unique interior and offerings. The project involves collaboration with some of Sweden's top architects and restaurateurs to create a dynamic meeting place where patrons can gather, dine, be entertained, and experience diverse influences. Despite not disclosing specific details about the culinary content or participating restaurateurs, Mess promises a unique range within a 50-meter span, spanning from fast to slow, affordable to exclusive, and after-work to fine dining. "It's going to be messy," says property developer Jimmie Hall.
