Aira, stylised as AIRA, is a fine dining restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden. Co-owned by chef Tommy Myllymäki and the Swedish restaurant group Svenska Brasserier, it opened on 17 March 2020. It has since received two Michelin stars.
History
[edit]After five years in development, the restaurant was scheduled to open on 17 March 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The restaurant was jointly owned by chef Tommy Myllymäki and the Swedish restaurant group Svenska Brasserier.[1] It received its first Michelin star on 13 September 2021 and its second on 12 June 2023.[2]
Facilities
[edit]The building was constructed specifically for the restaurant and was designed by architect Jonas Bohlin. The exterior was designed to resemble a shipyard, featuring concrete and rust-coloured sheet metal.[1]
Reception
[edit]In a 2022 review in Svenska Dagbladet's Krogguiden, Aira was described as one of Sweden's most lavish restaurant ventures. It was given 5 out of 6 stars, with the reviewer highlighting culinary craftsmanship, balanced service, and nuanced flavors in a 13-course tasting menu focused on seasonal Scandinavian ingredients. However, the reviewer also felt that given the price level (the bill for two was over 10,000 SEK), there was a lack of bold or surprising flavours.[3] Per Styregård listed Aira as among the 38 best restaurants in Stockholm in an article for Eater.[4]
