We only had two hours at Drottningholms, because we had taken the Stromma boat tour, but we made a point to reserve some time to go to Karamellan, because it was just beautiful: tables with shade on pebbled ground. We got a small bottle of Riesling to share, but I wish we'd been hungry, because the food (including the desserts looked great). Charming cafe!

In Sweden, at Drottingholm Palace's Karamellan Cafe, you can get yourself a gourmet entree and good booze. 160SEK Fish Soup. Swedes don't consider soup an appetizer. Soup is an entree, and served in a generous giant bowl. This salivating seafood soup was packed various ocean proteins. I thought the wife was crazy to pay this much for "soup", but after seeing it, its definitely worth every SEK. 175SEK Swedish Meatballs. A classic dish...and some of the beautiful balls I've seen in my life. Covered in that delicious creamy brown gravy, these big Swedish balls felt wonderful in my mouth. 60SEK Estelle Cake. Its Pink. Its fluffy. Its creamy. Its moist. Its beautiful. Its delicious. You want this. 58SEK Cider...the best way to consume fruit. Before these prices freak you out, know that Swedish prices include tax, and you don't tip at counter service cafes. So its really about the same as America. And the quality is far superior.

On a wonderful summer night in Stockholm this waterfront restaurant tucked away on the shore of…read moreLake Mälaren in Bromma is a perfect dining spot. The view from your dockside table over the water to several islands in Stockholm is lovely. And the food was tasty ... especially the fish stew which served with bread was just the right portion. A couple of Swedish beers added to the flavors. And the waiter was totally friendly and competent. Restaurang Bryggan is off the main tourist routes and only open in the warmer months but should be sought out for a typical and most pleasant Swedish summertime dining experience.

We ordered our meals at the counter and then found seats in their dining area downstairs (they also have an upstairs and outside dining.).

This property is said to come alive in the summertime as there are a variety of activities here: mini golf, boating, swimming, playgrounds as well as a wooded area adjacent that has disc golf. I liked this place and would like to see it in the summer time.

Amazing tiny restaurant tucked next to the Royal Opera. When I say tiny, I mean tiny. There is…read moreoutdoor sidewalk seating, but inside is three two person tables and a bar. We heard it can be difficult to get a table, so we went in the middle of the afternoon. When I say we had an incredible, traditional Swedish meal, I am really underselling the experience. We had the pickled herring starter and it was so unique and interesting. Each bit of herring was prepared a different way. I was full from that, but we pressed on. Meatballs and gravad lox were to die for. After that, I'm not sure why anyone eats a berry other than lingonberry. We joked with our server that it can be hard to serve an American a meal they can't finish, but they were clearly up to the task. She smiled and said they were proud to stay true to traditional Swedish food and it was a hot spot for locals. We haven't had a bad meal in Stockholm yet, so hard to compare, but a must stop if you're visiting.

I decided to go here for lunch based on my Yelp search. We came in a little before they opened and…read moresat outside. There were two other families waiting already. Once they were open, it took a long time between us being given menus to finally getting our food- 50 minutes. They should've given us our side while we were waiting for the board. We ordered a side of salami and Swedish cheese and the hairy pig board. I enjoyed the side, but the board not so much. The board consisted of wild boar sausage with broche bun, wild boar taco, peppercorn fries, and wild boar lasagna. The board was quite heavy and salty. I didn't have enough stomach space to even try the taco. I did enjoy the fries, but it's not enough for me to want to return.

This place is tucked below street level and is very intimate and downright cozy with its low beam wood ceiling, wood tables in every cranny it can fit to accommodate guests, and a tiny little bar. You can find this place outside by the wooden sign with the boar on it, then simply peer down into the low window and if you see a hairy pig nomming on a sausage, congratulations! You're in the right place. We stopped in not long before closing time and that was probably the only reason we were able to get a much coveted table. The barkeep was nice and let us put in a quick order while also getting us drinks. Unfortunately for me, there were not very many gluten free tapa options on the menu, but there were a few naturally gf. The salami and sausages were thought to have gluten so I went with the smoked shell on shrimp, a cheese dip, and some salad with olives. I wasn't crazy about the smoked shrimp but the olives and cheese were good. The husband enjoyed a sausage in bun which he said was great. Overall we liked the vibe and I think if you can eat the locally sourced meats like my husband it's probably a pretty solid place. If you're gf or allergy you'll probably still be hungry at the end of the meal like I was.

The atmosphere is nice and they have a huge and unique selection of beers. The prices aren't terrible either. Even though it gets crowded sometimes, it's nice to have a little gem in an otherwise lacking area (looking at you, Brommaplan). I've only had the burgers here, but it was a great burger! I didn't feel the need to return over and over again like other burger joints, but it was pretty decent. They had the option for pizza fries which were probably invented by Zeus himself, so that earned them some points as well. Definitely worth a visit if you're in or around the area!

Some had the delightful Limoncello with bubbles (meaning mixed with Prosecco and garnished with a fresh raspberry). Others had wine or beer. Garlic bread and focaccia is more like a thin pita bread with flavorings and cheese, but quite tasty. The caprese was a tossed arugula salad with a whole ball of burrata cheese. Not like in the US but still very good. Pizzas were the thin crust variety and they will gladly make it to your liking (my son only likes red sauce and cheese). I had the Prawns & calamari, with fried veggies. All delicious and very filling although I would have liked at least one more prawn and less squid. Great service and reasonable prices.
