Folkhemmet is a brilliant example of the new trend for relaxed restaurants that serve up the best of fresh Swedish produce.

A lively crowd occupies the candlelit tables in the main restaurant, which features an open plan kitchen where the chefs can be seen working. There are also tables outside for use in the summer.

Menu highlights include starters such as asparagus with hollandaise sauce, or beetroot with goat’s cheese and honey, and mains such as vegetarian cannelloni. The wine list is great value for Stockholm.

This trendy newcomer, with its avant garde Scandinavian decor, serves up motivated cooking in surroundings that recall the glories of the 1970s.

Diners can choose between the original interior and the tables outside during the warmer months. The menu is not extremely inventive, however the fish and meat dishes, such as grilled saddle of lamb or pot au feu, come served with an importance and style that reflects the fashionable surroundings.

This is a popular Italian restaurant on one of the most active streets of Gamla Stan (Old Town). Inside it is stylish and cozy, with large mirrors, plain walls and starched white tablecloths.

The menu is a mix of Italian and Swedish dishes with T-Bone steaks and pasta courses, such as tortelloni with gorgonzola or with beef.
