Pastry buffet |
Djurgårdsvägen 64 Stockholm 115 21 Sweden +46 (0)8 663 8759 http://www.blaporten.nu/ |
Blå Porten's serves excellent meals, but their forte lies in their tempting buffet which consist of baked products, such as cakes, biscuits and traditional shortbread.

Drinks and jazz |
Kungsgatan 63 Stockholm 111 22 Sweden +46 (0)8 5348 2960 http://www.fasching.se/ |
It is not so much the food, which is mostly traditional Swedish dishes, but the atmosphere and history that everyone comes to soak up here. This legendary restaurant/club/bar has been around for three generations. Jazz is its trademark, and the whole range, from traditional jazz to soul and acid jazz, can be enjoyed here. Have dinner before the show; that way you do not have to pay the entrance fee and are guaranteed a place in the evening's performance. The place also organises weekly After Work Jazz sessions from 7pm. The admission is free. In the evenings, it turns into a hip club with a different theme every night. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This is a trendy and bohemian restaurant in the southern part of Stockholm. The lovely locality is just as good a reason to visit as the food. Lots of 30—somethings mingle here and enjoy the great music that is on offer. The award—winning bar '...och det stora havet' (named after famed Swedish singer Jakob Hellman's only album) is worth a visit. The food is a little Swedish, a little Mediterranean.

From legendary Stockholm restaurant and club owner Sergio Montanari comes Martini, a bar and restaurant located a stone's throw from any city dweller in need of a drink or a full belly. The restuarant has very good traditional pasta, the best of which being the 'frutti de mare'. The environment is very pleasant, facing Norrmalmstorg--great for people watching.

Dine in a former pharmacy |
Tulegatan 24 Stockholm 113 48 Sweden +46 (0)8 612 6550 |
This restaurant was once a pharmacy. Swedish pharmacies are named after animals, and Mården, which means marten (a kind of weasel) is one of them, hence the name and the little bronze marten on the façade. The interiors have an air of nostalgia blended with modern art and sea green walls. The menu offers traditional Swedish cuisine, as well as modern Continental food. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This nightclub holds a legendary status in Stockholm. One of the most happening joints of the 50s, it maintains the ambience of its original glory days. This is the jazzy and glitzy place where you can swing your hips to the live band and really let go. The food is good but is nothing compared to the rhythms played. Review © 2007, Wcities |

One of the restaurants in Stockholm privileged with a star in the Guide Michelin, Operakällaren is also a classic among gourmet restaurants.

The countryside in the city |
Grev Turegatan 36 Stockholm 11438 Sweden +46 (0)8 660 3137 |
Per Olsson (Swedish equivalent to 'Old MacDonald') wants stressed-out, urban youngsters to unwind. He wants to bring the flavour of the countryside to Stockholm. His restaurant has a country style decor-with wooden panels and heavy tables. The food is local, traditional Swedish cuisine, of course, and served in grand portions. Just like back in the old days when we were all farmers anyway! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Prinsen used to be the meeting place for Stockholm's artists, writers and rich bohemians. And it still is. It's so ingrained in Stockholm culture that it is mentioned in various books and stories.

An inner circle of artists and writers, like Horace Engdahl from the Swedish Academy and playwright Stig Larsson still regularly meet here. You can select from a variety of traditional Swedish dishes or international favorites. It is quite fancy, so don't forget to dress up. Review © 2007, Wcities |

For a Culinary Treat |
Strandvägen 9 Stockholm 11456 Sweden +46 (0)8 663 8183 http://www.paulochnorbert.se/ |
Experience true gourmet cuisine at this charming little restaurant in the city. The 32-seat eatery is especially suitable for small celebration meals. German Chef Norbert Lang conjures up exciting preparations by adding a French twist to fresh Swedish ingredients. Recommendations include the scrumptious Lobster Bisque, which comes along with a mélange of other, daintily-dressed seafood and crunchy veggies on a big platter. Those who cannot do without their dose of meat can sample some rare presentations of reindeer and moose, or game birds. A big mug of Joseph Drouhin Chablis '93 should wash things down nicely. Desserts are worth digging into— the chocolate cake and lemon mousse are most popular— but the restaurant's healthy fruit sorbets are preferred by regulars. Watch that wallet though; it has an uncanny way of getting depleted here! Review © 2007, Wcities |

After work bar |
Bellmansgatan 22B Stockholm 118 47 Sweden +46 8 640 1462 |
This bar is located behind the church of St Paul, around the corner from Mariatorget. The clientele is often visited by moody youngsters dressed in black but its regulars are people who want an after-work drink. There is a restaurant section, but the bar is the main attraction. There are several pinball machines here but they can get crowded quite soon and you may have to wait for long to play. Review © 2007, Wcities |
