$ Grinda Hostel
(Vandrarheim) is the place to sleep if you wish you'd
gone to Swedish summer camp as a kid. The 44 bunks are in simple two-
and four-bed cottages, surrounding a pair of fire pits (300 kr/bed regardless of
room size, great shared kitchen/dining hall). A small pebbly beach and a basic
sauna are nearby.
All your options (aside from bringing your own picnic from Stockholm) are
run by the hotel. Fortunately, there are choices for each price range.
Grinda Wärdshus,
the inn at the center of the complex, has a good res-
taurant that combines rural island charm with fine food. You can choose
between traditional Swedish meals and contemporary international dishes.
Servings are small but thoughtfully designed to be delicious. Eat in the woody
dining room or on the terrace out front (1,420 kr/person covers dinner and
room, 90-180-kr starters, 180-300-kr main dishes; late June-Aug daily
12:00-24:00; off-season Fri 17:00-23:00, Sat 12:00-23:00, Sun 12:00-18:00,
closed Mon-Thu; also closed Fri Dec-early March).
