For velvety caffè latte, Gallic-inspired baguettes and perfect pastries, saunter into this cas-
ually chic bakery-cafe. Sporting a stunning mosaic floor, silky striped wallpaper and a few
outdoor tables, it's a fabulous spot to flick through the paper while tackling what has to be
Stockholm's most enormous sweetroll (cinnamon or cardamom, take your pick).

Stockholm's historic gourmet food market feeds all the senses with fresh fish, seafood and
meat, fruit, vegetables and hard-to-find cheeses, as well as cafes for a quick lunch or
snack. The 1885 building, a Stockholm landmark, is showing its age and will be closed for
renovations from 2015 to 2017, with a temporary market set up in the square.
For a quick lunch, belly up to the bar at Sushibaren; for a real treat, grab a table at
Lisa
Elmqvist
, one of the city's top seafood eateries. There's a clean, free, well-hidden toilet in
the far corner opposite the market entrance.

Located below Filmstaden cinema, Hötorgshallen is Stockholm at its multicultural best,
with stalls selling everything from fresh Nordic seafood to fluffy hummus and fragrant
teas. Ready-to-eat options include Lebanese spinach parcels, kebabs and vegetarian bur-
gers. For the ultimate feed, squeeze into galley-themed dining nook Kajsas Fiskrestaurang
for a huge bowl of soulful
fisksoppa
(fish stew) with aioli (Skr95).
While you're here, don't neglect to buy some produce from the vendors in the square
outside - they're entertainers as much as they are retailers, and it's a fun way to get a good
deal on some nice locally grown fruit and veggies.
