Götgatan: This main drag, leading from Slussen (where Södermalm meets
Gamla Stan) steeply up into the heart of Södermalm, is the neighborhood's
liveliest artery. Here, mixed between the boutiques, you'll find cafés tempting
you to join the Swedish coffee break called fika , plus plenty of other eateries.
Even if you don't dine in Södermalm, it's worth a stroll here just for the
window-shopping fun. At the top you'll pop out into the big square called
Medborgarplasten, filled with outdoor restaurant and café tables and fronted
by a big food hall. (There's also a T-bana stop here for an easy return home
afterdinner.)TherecommendedKvarnenbeerhall(seenext)isjustaroundthe
corner to the left. The big white sphere on the horizon is the Ericsson Globe,
a hockey arena.
Classic Swedish Beer Halls: Two different but equally traditional Sö-
dermalm beer halls serve well-executed, hearty Swedish grub in big, high-
ceilinged, orange-tiled spaces with rustic woodentables. While bothcould use

(“The Mill”) is a reliable choice that recently enjoyed its 15 minutes of fame
as a setting for the Millennium novels (90-120-kr starters, 125-165-kr main
dishes, Mon-Fri 11:00-24:00, Sat 12:00-24:00, Sun 12:00-23:00, 87-kr lunch

Pelikan is an old-school beer hall in a trendy neighborhood a bit deeper
into Södermalm (90-125-kr starters, 190-260-kr main dishes, Mon-Thu
16:00-23:00, Fri-Sun 13:00-23:00, Blekingegatan 40, tel. 08/5560-9092).
Nytorget Urban Deli is the epitome of Södermalm's trendyhipster vibe.
It's half fancy artisanal delicatessen—with all manner of ingredients—and
half eatery, with indoor and outdoor tables filled with Stockholm yuppies
