the proper way to enjoy this grand buffet (and read about smörgåsbords on
here ) . Reservations are necessary (425 kr, tap water is free, other drinks ex-
tra, nightly 18:00-22:00, Sat-Sun also 13:00-16:00, May-Sept also Mon-Fri
12:00-15:00, no shorts, Södra Blasieholmshamnen 8, tel. 08/679-3586).
At the Royal Opera House
(See “Stockholm Hotels & Restaurants” map, here .)
The Operakällaren, one of Stockholm's most exclusive restaurants, runs a
little “hip pocket” restaurant called Backfickan on the side, specializing
in traditional Swedish quality cooking at reasonable prices. It's ideal for
someone eating out alone, or for anyone wanting an early dinner (they serve
daily specials from 12:00 all the way up to 20:00). Sit inside—at tiny private
side tables or at the big counter with the locals—or, in good weather, grab
a table on the sidewalk. Choose from two different daily specials (about
150-200 kr), or pay 200-250 kr for main dishes from their regular menu
(Mon-Sat 12:00-22:00, closed Sun, on the inland side of Royal Opera House,
tel. 08/676-5809).
At or near Hötorget
(See “Stockholm Hotels & Restaurants” map, here .)
Hötorget (“Hay Market”), a vibrant outdoor produce market just two blocks
from Sergels Torg, is a fun place to picnic-shop. The outdoor market closes at
18:00, and many merchants put their unsold produce on the push list (earlier
closing and more desperate merchants on Sat).
Hötorgshallen, next to Hötorget (in the basement under the modern
cinema complex), is a colorful indoor food market with an old-fashioned
bustle, plenty of exotic and ethnic edibles, and—in the tradition of food mar-
kets all over Europe—some great little eateries. The best is Kajsas Fisk Res-
taurang, hiding behind the fish stalls. They serve delicious fish soup to little
Olivers who can hardly believe they're getting...more. For 85 kr, you get a
big bowl of hearty soup, a simple salad, bread and crackers, butter, and wa-
ter—plus one soup refill (100-kr daily fish specials, Mon-Fri 11:00-18:00, Sat
11:00-16:00, closed Sun, Hötorgshallen 3, tel. 08/207-262).
