Catellin was a landmark restaurant in [Stockholm](/source/Stockholm), Sweden. It was situated at [Storkyrkobrinken](/source/Storkyrkobrinken) 9 in the old, original part of the city, [Gamla stan](/source/Gamla_stan). It closed in 2011.[1]

## History

Catellin was founded in 1922 by [Franco-Belgian](/source/Franco-Belgian) chef Jules Claude Catellin, although according to other sources the restaurant opened in 1924.[2][3][4] The walls of the restaurant were decorated by artist Axel Hörlin in 1926.[5] The restaurant was popular among artists, writers and politicians, some of them were [Isaac Grünewald](/source/Isaac_Gr%C3%BCnewald), [Lennart Jirlow](/source/Lennart_Jirlow), [Einar Jolin](/source/Einar_Jolin), Olle Olsson-Hagalund, and [Stig Dagerman](/source/Stig_Dagerman).[5][6] 20 years after opening the restaurant, Catellin decided to sell it to Harry Uhr and Kjell Blekenberg.[5] The new owners changed the classic [French cuisine](/source/French_cuisine) approach of the restaurant and brought new preparations and flavors to the menu.[4]

The restaurant closed in 2011. The lease for the restaurant was terminated since the whole block was going to be renovated and used for other functions.[1][7] As of 2019, the premises and most of the block are used by [Sveriges Riksdag](/source/Sveriges_Riksdag).

## Legacy

In 1978, a book with recipes from the restaurant was published.[3] Many of the dishes are based on meat or fish. The most noted dishes are the garlic-flavored squid salad and the *[Oxfilé Provençale](/source/Oxfil%C3%A9_Proven%C3%A7ale)*.[4][6]

## In popular culture

The restaurant appears in [Stieg Trenter](/source/Stieg_Trenter)'s 1944 novel *Dangerous Vanity*.[8]
