Afrodite GREEK
(Storgatan 10; mains Skr75-199; 11am-10pm)
The Goddess of Love tempts diners with 'Greek-inspired' dishes, so expect to see chicken
souvlaki alongside reindeer in this vaguely Mediterranean set-up.

Laponiakåtan BARBECUE
( www.hotell-laponia.se ; Storgatan; mains Skr145-325; 4-10pm Mon-Fri, noon-10pm Sat & Sun mid-

Jun-Sep)
Belonging to Hotell Laponia, this enormous Sami hut on the lakeside delivers on its prom-
ise of 'BBQ with a view'. A single concession to vegetarianism aside (gnocchi), this place
attracts discerning carnivores with its burgers, troll-sized portions of hickory ribs and
tender reindeer steaks. Outside the summer season, the culinary action moves back inside
the hotel.
