"An appetizer (or a main course) which consists of among others bread and butter, cold cuts and small hot dishes" is how a smorgåsbord is defined according to the National Encyclopedia. Stockholm's restaurant world could be described as giant smorgasbord, offering something for every taste bud. Over the last twenty years the Stockholm smorgasbord has developed enormously, inspired by culinary art from the four corners of the earth as well as the Swedish cuisine. One explanation for today's multi-cultural restaurant life lies in the fact that Swedes, including Swedish chefs, travel greatly all over the world, bringing new ingredients and flavours as they come back to their own kitchen. In the old days it would have been sacrilege if one served herring in any other way than the traditional. Today it is not uncommon that herring is flavoured with ginger or oregano; it is no longer a question of breaking the rules of the local cuisine, but about reinventing and blending. A couple of years ago every self-respecting neighbourhood had a pizzeria; now the pizzerias have been forced to move closer together to make space for more exotic spices offered by Indian and Thai cuisines. Restaurants have been and still are springing up like colorful mushrooms all over the city, which has left the ordinary man and woman in Stockholm more gastronomically knowledgeable.

Norrmalm – City

Why not start off with a real Swedish breakfast at Grand Hotel, one of the most exclusive hotels and restaurants in Stockholm. The buffet and the view over the water will take your breath away, and some famous faces may be hidden behind the morning paper. If you would rather have people to complement your breakfast, grab a smoothie at the American-inspired Wayne's Coffee. Or have a pleasant awakening with a cup of mint-chocolate coffee across the street at Dilas, the little Italian coffee shop, where a genuinely Italian atmosphere rules, even in the early morning hours.

A must for champagne drinkers and lobster guzzlers is Berns in Berzelli Park. Operakällaren is a classic in the Stockholm restaurant world, but if the prices are too high one can find equally fine food on the other side of the Opera at Bakfickan. Another classic and immortal restaurant is Café Opera where simple home cooking is the main attraction. The paradox of combining luxury with simple home cooking can be enjoyed at Sturehof, the present hub of Stockholm's restaurant life, open practically round the clock. Prinsen is still the rendezvous place for many actors, poets and artists, and at KB (Konstnärsbaren) the cultural elite mixed with Internet elite, sampling crossover and traditional Swedish dishes. Crossover and other food trends that characterized the Swedish cuisine during the Nineties began at Rolfs Kök. East, regarded as the best soul bar in town, offers modern Asian food from Thailand, Japan, Korea and Vietnam.

Vasastaden

Have a generous lunch and drink as much blueberry juice as you want to at Blåbär. If the craving for a juicy entrecôt becomes too unbearable, visit the French tavern Minerva. Il Forno (which in Italian means "wood oven") does not look like much on the outside. It is a well-kept secret amongst pizza-lovers who make a pilgrimage from all over town to get their wood oven-baked pizzas. These, combined with great pasta at bargain prices are part of Leonardo's winning concept. Norma could easily be missed, but the cosy atmosphere and the traditional Swedish food with European influences make a meal here a long-lasting memory. Hoedupbab is a giant hit among other fun Korean specialties at Koreana.La Habana is a great introduction to Cuban cuisine. Another modern Asian restaurant is Mooncake, with its focus on Chinese food, serves with finesse and fantasy. A personal and relaxed atmosphere accompanied by the sea's delicacies is Musslan's specialty.

Peppar is a classic in its neighborhood; here stout and masculine dishes such as chili, jambalaya and so forth dominate the menu. Sala Thai has for a long time been the Thai king of Vasastan. Small, fastidious, nice and comfortable is September, worth a visit; a piece of advice, though, is to book one of the few tables beforehand. Storstad on the other hand won the Stockholm Award for best restaurant, and is extremely popular. Tranan is well-visited, whether in the actual restaurant, where the favorite dish is meatballs and Rydbergare, or downstairs in the bar with the pinball machines. Especially during the weekends it is frequented by young people out clubbing. Wasahof is the pride of Vasastan located at Vasaparken, where French cuisine gets on well with Swedish; it is appreciated by older-generation journalists, authors and actors. Last but not least, spend your Sunday morning relaxing at Sirap over a fragrant American brunch.

Östermalm

It may not be Baghdad Café, but it is Beirut Café that whets the appetite for Lebanese food. The Lebanese cuisine has a lot in common with Turkish, and the Turkish cuisine has a lot in common with the Greek. The result is Halv Grek plus Turk. The name is a wordplay as one of the owners is a Turk and the other is half Greek. Step in through the somewhat anonymous door and in an instant you are in the Mediterranean with a taste of aniseed and green figs. Grodan is the mecca for many young, hip, hardworking people around Stureplan , who go to enjoy its traditional dishes. Ciao-Ciao Due's crowd consists of both young gluttons and well-behaved families ordering the same tasty, traditional Italian food.

Lydmar has a stylish dining room where one can choose between a range of appetizing dishes, no matter what the budget, since the food comes in three different sizes. Tures is the natural hang-out after the end of a working day, while No 18 gets better the closer it gets to midnight. Wedholms Fisk is the fish restaurant with a capital F, and has kept its winning concept through the years: fresh fish, heavenly sauces and enormous portions. At Foam, the bold and the beautiful go for their coffee-break.

Djurgården

Ulla Winbladh was originally built as a baker's shop for the international Stockholm exhibition in 1897, and everything from the interior décor to the food still is genuinely Swedish. Villa Källhagen is regarded as one of the best restaurants in town. The food is made with a never-ending passion for the Swedish flora and the four seasons. Please make a trip to Rosendals trädgård a priority. On a sunny day go here either for an early fresh lunch (the queue starts early) or have one of the irresistible home-baked pastries and sit down among the old, beautiful, knotty apple trees in the garden.

The Old Town

The historical Gyldene Freden was opened in celebration of the peace at Nystad in 1722. Hence the name, Gyldene Freden, which means "the golden peace". Ever since, the restaurant has been much frequented, and well-established among locals. A comfortable quality restaurant with staff that does everything to make you happy is Järnet. Kaos is an imaginative retreat and a culinary surprise. Gourmet food is served at Lejontornet, in medieval surroundings. The modern and robust atmosphere at Mårten Trotzig is hard to resist. Trattoria Romana is located in a charming basement, with equally charming food and accompanying violinists.

Södermalm

The view is unique and dazzling at the international Gondolen and the same goes for the food. The flagship at Södermalm is Hannas with unaffected and unconventional food and patrons. Across the street is Hannas Deli which is much more crowded and fashionable. Il Tempo's Italian food is a cherished culinary dream. The kitchen's concept is "food from all over the world" and Matkultur is a place where lunch is a sacred institution. Muggens kök is a romantic place with praiseworthy, modern Italian food. Delicious French crepes are made in a steady succession at Fyra Knop and ordering in French is deeply appreciated. Snaps/Rangus Tangus is an affable restaurant located in a palatial building at Medborgarplatsen. An unpretentious eatery is Sjögräs, either after work or before the adventure of the evening. Sushi and sashimi is one very good reason to visit Sushi-Ya. Wake up slowly at Mosebacke, eat their weekend buffet and play a game of chess.

Kungsholmen

Mamas & Tapas is Spanish culture and cuisine personified. You are well taken care of, plus you have the opportunity of enjoying traditional Swedish food in the yellow-painted place called Absinth.Snails cooked in a variety of ways are L'Escargot's speciality. High-class food and perfection are Bon Lloc's guidelines - the world champion chef Mathias Dahlgren rules in this kitchen. Café Göken used to be a beer-house, and has developed into a little pearl with regards to the food and the service. The sushi is in a division of its own at Roppongi. Something as original as a crossover between Gotlandish and Mediterranean food is what people eat at Spisa hos Helena. Beautiful restaurants with carefully cooked food close to the water are Sjöpaviljongen and Ocean.

Although the Stockholmer has become more educated in the culinary art, a hot dog with bostongurka and rostad lök still has a sacred place in our hearts. You might actually get one of your best culinary experiences in Stockholm at one of the hot-dog stands around town...

There aren't too many Lebanese restaurants around Stockholm. The ambience is soothing, with warm, hazy lamps and a beautiful indoor waterfall. Bright colored cloths give this place an exotic look. Eastern tradition suggests that many small dishes called 'Meze' form a larger plate. As portions in the main course are large, feel free to adapt the Meze Method. The cafe is unique in its selection of music, which has elements of oriental, balearic and lounge music. To sum it up, the place has a great feel to it and the food is delicious.

La Habana is a Cuban paradise in the middle of Stockholm. This is the perfect place to get away from the winter cold. There are hot dishes, even hotter rhythms and fat cigars to help find your grove. The décor is rustic and well—planned. It feels like Havana before the revolution, all in Art Deco style. La Habana has become a popular place, although there are unfortunately not many Latinos among the guests. Most customers are office-goers. One floor below, there is a rum bar where Cuban music is played and you let yourself on the dancefloor. The food will not let you down, and nothing has been overlooked in making this a out—and—out Cuban joint: cigars, drinks and even beer are imported from Cuba.

King Gustav III, probably the most influential king of Swedish culture, founded The Royal Opera House in 1773. He forbade all foreign opera singers to sing in their own languages. He would not accept any opera unless it was performed in Swedish. Hence, all operas from this period are referred to as Gustavian. Today, the Royal Opera, which hosts close to 250 performances every year, is more open-minded than its founder and hosts performances in several languages.

This is one of the most happening joints in Stockholm. Sjögräs (which translates as Sea Grass) is a modern restaurant that serves Californian food. The basement has a nice bar that boasts the largest rum collection in the city. The nights are really crowded and the dance floor is always buzzing with action. Each night has a different DJ performing to packed crowds. If you are on the dance floor, expect to see beer everywhere!

Storstad is always crowded. It was established by the same brothers who started Folkhemmet on the other side of town. Classier, more expensive and more elegant than Folkhemmet, Storstad's cuisine features mainly meat, fish and chicken. A bar menu is available. Drinks are mixed to perfection by professional bartenders. On Sundays, only the bar menu is served.

Sturehof


Swedish-French brasserie tradition
Stureplan 2
Stockholm 111 37

Like an unexplored castle with flights of stairs leading to strange rooms and floors, Sturehof has 'Adventure' written all over it. Three floors offer three different bars and atmospheres. The most crowded and best known of them is the O-bar on the top floor, which is slightly noisy but full of charm. The music differs between the floors and the rooms, so go and explore to find your favorite. The wine-list offers a delicious assortment of European wines, and the restaurant itself specializes in seafood dishes. If you're a night owl, this is the place for you, as they keep their kitchen open till 1a.

Named after the much beloved friend of Swedish national poet and composer Carl Michael Bellman, Ulla Winbladh was built for the grand Stockholm exhibition of 1897. It perfectly suites business dinners and exclusive gatherings. An excellent class of Swedish cuisine is found on the menu, and the quiet and pastoral setting on the isle of Djurgården heightens the sense of enjoyment.

It was once mentioned in the tabloids that Wayne's Coffee was Princess Victoria's favourite café. In the past, this coffee shop on Kungsgatan was a favorite hangout. Simply done up and with large windows, this place has its share of loyal customers. A nice selection of coffees and fresh bagels is on the menu.

Lots of fresh fish and shellfish, served with delicious sauces and vegetables, is the winning concept here. At Wedholms, not much attention is given to experimenting ...and you'll be grateful for that. Instead, the focus is on preparing them with prime-quality ingredients and with minutest attention to detail. The décor and ambience leave nothing to be desired and the service is impeccable.
