The story of Wasahof

The building at Dalagatan 46 went up in the 1880s. On 28 December 1899 Per and Maria Andersson were licensed to serve beer and wine here, and Wasahof counts its history from that day. Back then it was called Matvarukafé 46:an. The first dining room is still in its original state.

In 1968 Lennart and Lisa Holmberg bought the place and reopened it the following year as a French-style bistro. The family has run it ever since, with their sons Fredrik and Patrik Cornelius taking over in the 1990s.

In the early 1990s Wasahof began importing oysters from Cancale in Brittany, and oysters are still the house speciality; in 1994 it received a diploma from the Friends of the Swedish Gastronomic Academy for popularising shellfish. Astrid Lindgren lived on the first floor of the same building from the early 1940s until 2002.

About the terrace

According to the City of Stockholm, Wasahof holds a permit for a terrace of about 20 m² at Dalagatan 46. The permit runs 30 May to 15 October 2026. The terrace has been in the city's register since 2020, as far back as the register goes.

Times look wrong, for example because the terrace is on the other side of the building? Fix the location in OpenStreetMap and Stoligt will follow at the next update.

How Stoligt works it out

Every ten minutes we draw a line from each terrace toward the sun and check whether a building or hill is tall enough to block it. Building heights come from OpenStreetMap and ground heights from Lantmäteriet, the Swedish mapping agency. The times assume a clear day, so clouds are not included here. They are on the live map, which shows today's weather.

Trees, parasols and awnings are not in the model, and we don't know exactly where on the pavement the tables stand. Treat the times as an educated guess, often accurate to within ten minutes.
