Food Scene

We fika here pretty much every day. We also had our wedding reception here. Cool and relaxed. Italian. At lunch try the Penne a la Vodka - simple and amazing. Outdoor seating that gets sun in the afternoons and evenings. Also has seating in a sunny garden in the back.

Hip vibe, somewhat new, great food. I'll classify this as "continental". The wine guy is amazing, ask him for a suggestion and just say yes - everything is perfection. Good idea to book ahead but it can be possible to drop by. Expensive but great pizzas. Outdoor seating that gets sun in the afternoons and evenings.

New on the scene. French, huge, and still always packed to the brim with people. Strange bar layout, but the outdoor seating is big and comfortable. They usually have a great DJ at night. It's received mixed reviews food wise but I'm picky and have loved everything I've had there. Has brunch!

Amazing noodles and kimchi. We had our first date here. Doesn't look like much from the outside but the food is cheap and really, really good.

Book ahead. This is our favourite restaurant in the area. French. Small, cozy, great service. Small menu so the chefs really get a chance to get it right, and they do get it right every single time. Great value for your money.

This street is filled with cute restaurants, bars, cafes. Sunny most of the day and a lot of outdoor seating. They've made it pedestrians only for the summer. Filled with the youngish and well paid crowd. Also good vintage shops on this and the nearby streets.

It's a bit of everything here. Cafe, restaurant, FANTASTIC food shop. Go up to the roof with your lunch or to enjoy a drink. A path calmly snakes through, revealing quiet places to sit in some grass and take in the view. Great vibes.

[USUALLY CLOSED FOR THE SUMMER] Perfect mix of butcher and restaurant. Stop in for a fresh cut of whatever you can dream up and stay for the beer and whatever they're serving that day. If they have it, I suggest the chorizo burger. YUM. Quiz nights every Wednesday - often Beatles themed.

Great pancakes and other breakfast items. Can be a stressing experience depending on the time of day you go because the seating is a free for all. Ironically I bring my own maple syrup because they only serve the fake stuff.

Kebab. Majorly hyped. This guy cultivated a large following on Instagram traveling the world and trying all the kebab he can. Now he runs his own show. Tiny, stylish, yummy. Pricy for a kebab but worth it.

Part restaurant part club. Don't stop at the host, just walk all the way to the back of the restaurant to find where all the young party people go to start their night. Great music, multiple bars, very lively. The most "Södermalm" type place to survive in snooty Östermalm.

We used to call this "The Italian Shop" until I brought an actual Italian and she had never heard of any of the products. Our favorite place to stop for fresh sliced meats, great pasta, big selection of cheeses, and lots of strange cookies cakes and jams that we've never seen before.

My favorite swimming spot. Go down the hill on the path and you'll find cliffs. Follow along the handrail along the cliffs to find the better places to lay down and enjoy the sun. The water can be warm here.

In case you want to use our Nespresso machine you'll need to make a stop here. We've tried the grocery store versions and they all taste like cardboard.
