Kanto Filipino Bistro Stockholm

Located in the neighborhood of Södermalm, in Stockholm, Sweden, the Noel's Pop-up restaurant, Kanto, is the first Filipino bistro in Stockholm!

It's great to see unique cuisine like Filipino food gaining more popularity, especially in Sweden where there is a growing Filipino population. If you're looking for some traditional tasty Filipino cuisine and unique, heavenly desserts, check out Kanto! 

Currently, Kanto, offers a Summer dinner menu which is served Tues-Fri and a Sunday brunch buffet.

We recently tried the Summer dinner menu and chose the Signature platter for 2 persons. You can choose 2 appetizers and 1 entrée.

The Signature platter came with a bowl of garlic rice to share that was really flavorful.

One thing to note is that they served the appetizers and entrée together instead of appetizers first. So we were extra hungry when food arrived!

We chose the crunchy fried chicken wings and the traditional egg rolls or Lumpia (made with pork, beef and shrimp) for appetizer and the milk fish (or Bangus) for the main. 

Delicious flavor combination of salted egg, tomato and the fish! Just wish there was more!

We did have our delightful drinks to start as we waited, and the cocktails were refreshing, especially the Mangojito!

Ube colada - you could really taste the Ube, or purple yam, in this drink! 

Kanto has a nice outdoor seating area so it's a great place to relax after work for drinks and snacks. Once the weather warms up, it will be even better!

We saved room for dessert and it was a good thing since the serving of Halo-Halo was pretty generous! Halo-halo is popular Filipino dessert that consists of shaved ice, various toppings like Leche flan, beans, jellies, and tapioca drizzled with condensed milk and ice cream. Different flavors with each bite and a great Summer dessert!

We also tried the Ube Cassava cake which was quite dense and really decadent. There was even a layer of flan on top! So yummy!

Kanto will be open until December after that they will hopefully continue but move into a bigger location. They are also now open for lunch service and available as a food delivery option too! 

If dining with kids, Kid-friendly food options include the rice, chicken, and egg rolls. They also have a box of drawing supplies to entertain the kids, which is great for parents!

We recently had the chance to try the Sunday brunch buffet! The buffet items change every couple of weeks. 

Our favorite dishes were the sinigang - traditional Filipino tangy soup flavored with tamarind and the Menudo - meat stew with potatoes! Other nice additions were the Puto and pakbet!

Whether you're a Filipino in Sweden and homesick for Filipino food, a foodie who has previously enjoyed Filipino cuisine or just someone who is curious about it, definitely check out the Filipino Bistro Kanto in Stockholm! 

Don't forget your snacks!
