Seafood fans, look no further. This Stockholm legend, suitably snug inside historic
Östermalms Saluhall, is never short of a satisfied lunchtime crowd. The menu changes
daily, so let the waiters order for you; whether it's lobster pancakes or seared Sichuan pep-
per char fillets, you won't be disappointed. Classics include shrimp sandwiches (Skr170)
and a gravadlax plate (Skr185).
In the warmer months, dine outdoors at sister bistro Lisa på Torget, on the square out-
side.
Tennstopet
SWEDISH, PUB FOOD
11.30am-1am Mon-Fri, 1pm-1am Sat & Sun; Odenplan)
Had there been a Swedish version of
Cheers
, it would've been filmed here. Oil paintings,
gilded mirrors and winter candlelight set the scene for a lovable cast of wizened regulars,
corner-seat scribes and melancholy dames. Watch the show with a soothing
öl
(beer) and a
serve of soulful
husmanskost
. Try the traditional herring platter (Skr179).
Mälarpaviljongen
SWEDISH, AMERICAN
Skr168-235; 11am-1am; Rådhuset)
When the sun's out, few places beat this alfresco waterside spot for some Nordic dolce
vita. Its glassed-in gazebo, vast floating terrace and surrounding herb gardens are only up-
staged by the lovely and supremely welcoming service. Both food and cocktails are beauti-
fied versions of the classics: huge burgers, pretty salmon salads, strawberry mojitos, etc.
Opening times are at the weather's mercy.
