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.

Visit this place in the winter to escape the cold inside this cafe with a very warm atmosphere. Or visit in the summer and sit under the chestnut tree. Eat one of the sweet pastries and have a good cup of warm drink of your choice.

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

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!

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.

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.
