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.

This is the place to experience Swedish cuisine at its finest and pick up top-quality ingredients to take home. Enjoy an authentic Swedish bite at Tysta Mari – the salmon bake is especially tasty, as is the fried herring with mashed potatoes and lingonberries.

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!

If you appreciate interesting interiors, this place is bound to please – the DJ booth floats above the dance floor loft-style, and there’s a secret door that leads to fun and frivolous bar. Drop by for a drink and around-the-table ping-pong on a Monday or Tuesday evening, or wait until the weekend for some serious down-and-dirty dancing.

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.

You don't have to be a vegetarian to appreciate the food, most people who come here aren't. The buffet is all-you-can-eat and includes hot and cold dishes, many of them a little bit spicy and very tasty. They also have a variety of desserts that are really good but these aren't included in the buffet.
