Small but perfectly formed, this spot wows diners with creative takes on traditional
Swedish dishes. Expect the likes of salmon carpaccio or smoked reindeer salad followed
by a gorgeous, spirit-warming saffron aioli shellfish stew. The service is seamless and the
atmosphere classy without being stuffy. The brief weekend lunch menu (Skr119 to Skr158)
is a bargain. Book ahead.

Open since 1722, this venerable barrel-vaulted restaurant is run by the Swedish Academy,
where (rumour has it) its members meet to decide the winners of the Nobel Prize. Person-
ally, we think it should go to the chefs, whose sublime offerings include civilised

dishes like roast lamb with chanterelles, cabbage and country cheese, or old-
school Swedish meatballs.

Squeeze in among the locals at this friendly cafe-bakery, a reliably affordable place to get
a healthy and substantial meal in an unfussy setting. The scrumptious sandwiches and
salads are inspired, with ingredients like halloumi, falafel, cured salmon, avocado and
