Niklas was listed the best business restaurant in Sweden by newspaper 'Dagens Industri' in 2003 and the fifth best restaurant in Sweden by the restaurant guide 'White' in 2005.
In 2003 Ekstedt opened a second restaurant, 'Niklas i Viken', a summer restaurant located in the village of Viken, a few kilometers north of Helsingborg. Simultaneously, Ekstedt's cooking show, 'Mat' (Food in Swedish), began airing on Sveriges Television (Swedish national television).
In autumn 2008, Ekstedt and his staff moved to Stockholm to manage Restaurant 1900. In April 2009, the fifth season of Ekstedt's cooking show began airing. Since then Ekstedt's Television Career has continued with several shows, including a cooking show aimed at a children audience.
In 2011, Ekstedt opened his second restaurant in Stockholm, simply named 'Ekstedt'. Here, the concept is to first and foremost cook all raw ingredients over an open fire.
