Stockholm is a city boasting exceptional seafood, which is no wonder considering it’s surrounded by water teeming with both fresh and saltwater delicacies. There are plenty of restaurants and cafés specialising in traditional Swedish cuisine, and a huge assortment of Indian, Italian, Thai and Turkish joints.
Eating out in Stockholm is notoriously expensive though, especially for those on a budget. It’s worthwhile knowing that almost all cafés and restaurants offer well-priced daily lunches (dagens lunch) that typically include a main dish, salad, bread and coffee.
Note that many restaurants and cafés are closed during the summer months, so it’s wise to call ahead.

They have an open fire grill which gives their food that nice smoky flavor you are looking for in Turkish food. Their cheap and their servings are quite generous. From the street this place does not look as good as it tastes. Try it out and you won't be disappointed!

Love to go this market during the summertime. They have different types of food trucks ranging from vegetarian food to sleazy burgers. It has a great atmosphere and people playing music while you enjoy your food by the sea. After eating you check out the flea market.

Employees at Skansen are kind and helpful and their animal expert is one of the most famous (and awesome) person in Sweden.
It's never crowed, unless you are by the big stage on Tuesdays in the summer when "Allsång På Skansen" is present. It's a show where singers

Best breaky in Sweden! It's busy on weekends, and they don't take reservations, so be sure you can kill an hour while you wait for your name to be called (yes, it's that popular, but totally worth it). Weekdays are better.

Visit this place for a super fika. This place doesn't have specialties. Starting from the coffee (or tea if you prefer) to the pastries and sandwiches, all of it tastes great. You could chose to have lunch here as well since they do serve a couple full meals.

Stockholm’s food scene unfortunately doesn’t offer a big selection of affordable dinner options. La Neta is a rare and welcome exception. It's perfect for budget travellers and those seeking a quick and satisfying feed.

If you’re on a budget and craving something more palatable than lacklustre falafel and limp fries, Beijing8 will satisfy your belly, wallet and conscience. Not in the area? Not to worry – they have another restaurant at Grev Turegatan 1, and another at Kungsgatan 25.

Drop by Citykonditoriet to enjoy inexpensive Swedish fare in a regal yet relaxed setting. It attracts a mixed crowd, however it’s especially popular with older Swedish women. Note that the café is unsigned at street level – you need to enter Citykyrkan and head to the third floor to find it.

If you’re milling about Söder and feeling peckish, head to Bakverket for a delightful all-day breakfast. Just keep in mind that there’s usually a line on weekends, so either arrive before 10 am to get a table or stop by during the week instead.

If visiting by yourself it's easy to work in peace by the windows, but you can also have a chat with a friend without worrying because the noise level always seems moderate. Overall this cafe has a nice atmosphere like any good cafe should.
