I intensely dislike the…read moreatmosphere in the food court as it is a mess of people, chaotic and loud but I will not hold that against Sawadee in particular but i would advise against eating in the food court. I always go for take out and bring the food to the office. Sawadee provides your average thai food - the have the typical extensive menu of Swedish thai restaurants and the quality of many dishes can be questioned. The sheer volume at lunch does however mean that things never have time to stand around for long so in that sense things are fresh. I tried a few different dishes and the curries are edible but not good. Some of the specials are however decent such as the steamed chicken with ginger as well as noodle soups. So if you are in Kista this place serves acceptable food and as long as you do not have to eat in the food court the experience may be at least not unpleasant. Normally I would lean towards giving it 2 star rating but in the area it ia actually one of the better options.

This is probably the busiest restaurant in the food hall, but the line moves fast, even on a Saturday for lunch. It is famous for their fish soup. Everyone has to try the tomato based broth with fish fillet pieces, small shrimp and mussels. If you have the baked salmon, it's only for the dill mustard sauce. The portion isn't massive, but the small help-yourself buffet bar for salad and bread makes up for it.

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.

The chorizo soup was also delicious. You get some bread with it, but it's really not necessary. Even though the portions aren't massive, the quality and heartiness of the soups is incredible. So much flavor in one spoonful. This is perfect for a cold snowy/rainy day where you don't feel like making any food at home. I wish they had takeaway in vats so that I could eat it all week!

We had just arrived that afternoon and were walking around our hotel to look for an early dinner. The dining room is lovely but not too stuffy or formal. We ordered the brown bread for starters, along with some wine and beer. I ordered the Arctic char (parsnip, chili, hazelnuts, browned butter and a soy glaze) and Paul G. went with the meatballs (hand-rolled and with cream sauce, mashed potatoes, lingonberries and pickled cucumber). We had the traditional Swedish meatball dish a few more times during the trip and they all came with the same components, but Bistro Bestick's was my fave. The sauce was heavier, velvety and creamy, and the potatoes were oh so fluffy. The berries were tart and fresh. I loved my fish, too... the hazelnuts, brown butter and soy were such a bright, unexpected combination. I enjoyed every bite. Don't sleep on dessert here! I couldn't even finish my dinner but still wanted to try the chocolate rum cake (salty caramel sauce, roasted peanuts, vanilla ice cream and crispy sesame) and what a delightful flavor explosion! It was beautifully presented and the sesame "cracker" on top was the perfect contrast to all the sweetness. I'd highly recommend BB!

Stockholm has definitely issues with the soups - rarely one can find them in the menu, which is actually very very sad. Soup is a fantastically good food for the health, good mood and well-being. And Soppan as all may have already guessed is a extremely cosy lovely tasty soup-place. But not only, they offer several different non-soup dishes, as well as drinks and fika things. Every week they publish weekly menu and if you are craving for something special - just drop by the specific day. The location is very good-cosy-home-feeling one, it is not crowded in the lunch hours and the personnel is one the most friendly and attentive that you may ever met. I wish I could go there more often. Good good good.

Recommend if you're looking for a great coffee and pastry spot, convenient to city center. Outdoor seating if you're lucky enough to land a spot.

Although the passageway where the interior seating is situated seemed awkward it actually worked out well. Service, despite a crowd, was fairly quick, I would rate the coffee an A or 9/10 on the scale of strength, low acidity/smoothness. It is espresso based and made to exact order. There are serval options for milk (whole, oat, 1/2 and 1/2, etc). The major complaint would be that there is no easy place to throw away your rubbish, nor is there a place that is clearly evident to bust your dishes, which is much needed given that this is a super busy place.. The staff is too busy to bus tables regularly, which backs up the availability of seating . This is the major reason for a one star deduction.. TIP: You can buy beans or ground coffee for home brewing.
