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.
Kaknästornet

It's not too big and families usually only hang out at Kaknästornet around Christmas when they have amazing Christmas food. A hidden treasure in plain sight, since you are able to see the towers for most of Östermalm, Gärdet and other parts of town.

If mediocre filter coffee has left your taste buds in a sad and sorry state, these guys will put you right. Beans are slow roasted by hand using a pair of vintage roasting machines and transformed into the perfect brew by friendly, dedicated staff.

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.

In spring you can have a picnic under the blossoming apple trees. In summer you can enjoy a great variety of blooming flowers and have a glass of wine outdoors. Autumn is the harvest time when you can taste several sorts of apples or buy a pumpkin. Winter is simply good for sitting around the fireplace with a cup of herb tea!

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

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.

This place is not located in the city center and I wouldn't recommend a first time visitor to bother with a detour. Still it's close enough to include this neighborhood in your plans if you want good ice cream as well as see a very typical Swedish residential area with a small town feeling. There are lots of villas and is surrounded by trees.

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.
