Grundet – restaurant in the Stockholm archipelago

Grundet is a sjökrog, a sea tavern, with bed and breakfast on Rögrund, a small island on Nämdöfjärden at the edge of the outer Stockholm archipelago, in Värmdö municipality. Rögrund lies off Ingarö and Saltsjöbaden, between Stavsnäs and Dalarö, and Grundet describes it as a place of calm and stillness, with wind-bent pines and smooth rocks. Rögrunds Sjökrog serves rustic food with a touch of Nämdöfjärden, aiming for the point where quality, sustainability and value for money meet, and the menu can vary a little, just like the weather. Lunch is drop-in, and booking is recommended to be sure of a dinner table. The sea tavern faces the sunset, so a cold glass of white wine or a beer at the end of the day is part of the experience. The restaurant is open every day in high summer, from late June to mid-August, and takes group bookings before and after the season, so check the coming season's dates before you go. Grundet is cashless and takes card and Swish. Visitors arriving by their own boat can moor at the berths next to the sea tavern, but not overnight. Waxholmsbolaget boats call at Rögrund from Dalarö, Stavsnäs and Saltsjöbaden, and in summer also from Strömkajen. For overnight guests there are seven rooms with four or six beds in the main building and two cabins with double beds, with breakfast included, plus a shared kitchen, lounge, shower and sauna. On the island you can swim from the rocks, read in a hammock and look out for white-tailed eagles and seals. From Strandvägen, the route through Skurusundet, Baggensfjärden and on past Saltsjöbaden to Nämdöfjärden is an estimated 20 nautical miles. Cruise time is about 1h 20min at 15 knots in a motorboat, and about 2h 30min at 8 knots in a yacht. Those are estimated cruise times at those speeds, not a scheduled departure, and speed limits in the narrow sounds can add time.
