Generous portions |
Österlånggatan 14 Stockholm 111 31 +46 (0)8 20 5776 http://www.paristexas.se/ |
This is a romantic restaurant where you are served well-made food in candlelight. Formerly known as Bakfickan, this place has also shifted from France to Texas, in terms of both music and food. The spacious and pleasant surroundings are appropriate to the grilled meat and fish in different salsas that you'll find on the menu. The dishes are generous and well-made. On Saturdays you can have an American brunch with eggs Benedict, huevos rancheros and a Bloody Mary, while the sounds of Hank Williams, Flaco Jimenez and Big Mama Thornton waft from the loudspeakers.

Swiss dinner delight |
Skeppsbrokajen Tullhus 2 Stockholm 11130 +46 (0)8 5348 9726 / +46 (0)8 22 5755 http://www.brannvin-stockholm.se/ info@brannvin-stockholm.se |
Brännvin is a Swedish liquor, also known as aquavit, and this restaurant by the same name, offers some 40 varieties of it. However, it is not just the drink that draws the crowds; the food is equally tempting with lovely Swedish appetizers, main courses and desserts. Brännvin also offers seasonal menus plus the "County Menu", which helps you select your food according to your preference. And if all this does not attract you, the waterfront view of the Strömmen Canal will change your mind for sure. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Coffee, tea, wine and beer are the favourite drinks to go with snacks such as various kinds of sandwiches, pies and toasted sandwiches.

In the Old Town |
Kornhamstorg 51 Stockholm 11127 +46 (0)8 20 9945 |
The logo of this eatery mocks the foot-friendly brand Scholl. It is a hip, small place with very few tables. In the evening the tables are removed from sight completely and the focus shifts to the bar. The international clientele varies greatly, but since the joint is in the Old Town, quite a few tourists show up. There are delicious tapas on the bar menu. On the regular menu there are pastas and wok meals. Review © 2007, Wcities |

With many of the specialities featuring outstanding Swedish cuisine, Leijontornet's menu is also inspiried by influences from Asia, North America, and other parts of Europe.

Pizza can be gourmet food! |
Odengatan 79-81 Stockholm 111 30 +46 (0)8 32 0122 http://primociaociao.com/ |
If you doubt that pizza could be gourmet food, you have not visited the two Ciao—Ciao restaurants.

 Palatial meals |
Tegelbacken 2 Stockholm 11152 +46 (0)8 10 0310 http://www.seikoen.se/ |
The first of its kind in the country, this Japanese restaurant is all about traditional flavors in a changing world. Located on the Central Palace, overlooking a tranquil waterfront, the restaurant is every bit as posh on the inside as it appears from the façade. Expect the most outlandish preparations of octopus and squid, alongside the ubiquitous noodle, sushi, sashimi and tempura. Of course, no meal is complete without the traditional sake, though beers, champagne and wines give an international twist to the menu. Ice-creams, sorbets and truffles make up dessert, but the house specials are a must-try. The staff serves up these preparations with the usual Japanese politesse that warrants some brownie points.

Home-brewed Weissbier |
Skeppsbron 44 Stockholm 111 30 +46 (0)8 411 8330 http://www.zumfranziskaner.se/ |
Here you find Bratwurst and rumpsteak amongst Swedish dishes like herring and hash of fried diced meat with onions and potatoes. The restaurant is extraordinarily beautiful, designed in Jugend style. Pleasant German music is piped through the speakers, and friendly waitresses take good care of the guests. Amongst the lovely beers, Franziskaner, the restaurant's own Weissbier, is recommended.
