We were in Stockholm for a few days last week and spent one day on the island of Djurgården. After…read morevisiting a couple of museums on the island, we visited Wärdshuset Ulla Winbladh for lunch. The building is stunning - sweet and beautiful - originally built for the Stockholm Art and Industrial Exhibition in 1897. Later, it was a bakery and then a restaurant, until 1992, when restaurateur, cookbook author and food columnist Nils Emil Ahlin took over the inn and created the Ulla Winbladh we know today. The food is classically Swedish and completely delicious. We started our meal by sharing Toast Skagen (pieces of toasted bread and a prawn salad called skagenröra, typically made with mayonnaise, sour cream and dill, sometimes dijon mustard, and garnished with roe), which is incredibly popular in the warmer months in Nordic countries. (They split the portion onto two plates for us!) My husband ordered another classic - poached cod served with shrimp, chopped hard boiled eggs, freshly grated horseradish, browned butter, and potatoes. I had my first (but not last) herring of the trip - fried herring with mashed potatoes, lingonberries, and lightly pickled cucumber. We had a wine and beer and really enjoyed our leisurely lunch at this beautiful restaurant on the island of Djurgården. A very beautiful and delicious meal.

The outdoor dining was beautiful and the staff were so amazing to our large group.

I am not kidding when I say that these were the best puréed potatoes I have ever eaten in my whole life!

Their menu changes every 3/4 weeks, where they will add new items and recipes they have been working on. Lunch for 75kr is good value for a good truck that care about the food they serve.

If you're visiting Stockholm and want a break from the city without going too far, Fjäderholmarna…read moreis the answer. Just a 25-minute ferry ride from the city center, and suddenly you're in the middle of serene nature, surrounded by rocky shorelines, pine trees, and calm Baltic waters. The island is small and walkable, which makes it perfect for a half-day trip. There's something really charming about wandering the trails, watching boats glide past, and stopping for fika or a drink along the water. You'll find cozy cafés, glassblowing and craft shops, and even a little chocolate factory. It's tourist-friendly without feeling overly commercial. Swimming spots are tucked around the edges if you're up for a dip, and there are plenty of sun-warmed rocks to lounge on if you're not. It gets busy in the summer, but still feels peaceful -- like a local secret hiding in plain sight. Tip: Come hungry. The restaurants (especially Fjäderholmarnas Brygga) are excellent, and enjoying a cold drink by the water is basically a Swedish summer ritual. Whether you want to explore, relax, or just eat well with a view, Fjäderholmarna is totally worth the trip.

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.
