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.

Aloe is a contemporary European restaurant in suburban Stockholm that serves a tasting menu and has…read morebeen awarded two Michelin stars. The dining experience is amazing, lengthy, tasty and of course expensive, but well worth it. The restaurant is located outside Stockholm, far from the city centre in a residential neighbourhood. The outside of the building is labelled 'Living' for reasons that were unclear, and we were briefly suspicious that our Uber had dropped us in the wrong place, but in fact this was the restaurant and we were greeted outside by handshakes and welcome from senior staff members. The dining environment is compact, with only space for a few guests each evening. It is divided into two sections, a lounge area with living room chairs and small tables, and a traditional dining room. The experience begins and ends in the lounge, but moves to the dining room for the middle ~5 courses of the ~15 course meal. It seemed like this structure might be designed to make space for more people, but that wasn't the point - instead the goal was to create different ambience for different food. The menu called "Earthling" (picture attached of the summary and for each course) was diverse, eclectic, delicious and surprising. Several courses contained ingredients that I have previously found unappealing but which were delicious in this context. Each course was impeccably prepared and presented, small in size (to allow for the 15 courses), and quite different from each other. While there are many things to recommend about this experience, the food is the core of what makes it great. As you would expect, service was top notch at all time, with a team providing flawless service and assistance. Each dish was described at delivery and the whole experience was consistently and calmly delivered in a friendly, informal environment. If you can afford this kind of luxury, I strongly recommend this amazing experience. Great!

This place is a jam. They are doing something truly special. They are reinventing what it means to…read morebe a fine dining establishment. Tucked away in the "suburbs" of Stockholm. No you didn't hear me wrong...the suburbs. In a normal house, where you may watch the neighbor kids playing in the back yard while you eat. The fantastic staff greets you as you arrive. Ushering you up the driveway like an old friend. As you enter the house you quickly realize this is much more than just another "suburban house." This is a refined and polished fine dining establishment. You start in the main room for dinner. The young and eager staff is ready to cater to whatever you need. Chef Daniel and Niclas are running this scrappy restaurant with a ton of heart. And even though they are head chefs they treat you like family. This menu reaches a lot further than Scandinavia. These young men are reinventing and innovating dishes from all over the globe. Broth with deer fallow you could slurp down daily. A crudo exploring Asian and American flavors. Squid noodles taking you to south east asia. And a lamb dish bringing you to North Africa! What's even more exciting is after dinner you get to retire to the parlor room and sip brandy and have dessert. You have to check this place out.

I walked by this place almost every single day and didn't think anything of it, since it's located…read morein the same building as the T-bana. Honestly I thought it was just a shisha/hookah lounge as the back area is purely that. Luckily for me, my wife loves shisha, and she kept asking me to go here with her since there's always people smoking shisha here. So we went. We struggled a bit as both of us are pretty terrible at Swedish for the time being, though she's better than me at it. We managed to order a lemon lime shisha and a couple beers. About 20 minutes after smoking, I was getting hungry as I had only eaten breakfast (normal for me to only eat once or twice a day) all day up to this point and it was about 1800. I was going to suggest we head out, or at the least I head out, so I can eat, but I saw another guy with a menu. I didn't even know they served food up to this point. I ordered a char grilled shish-kebab with rice and a salad. You can't eat in the hookah area, which is fine, and he let me know it would be about 15 minutes until it was finished. I waited and the (really nice) guy that was working there let me know the food was ready. It was delicious. Far better than I thought it was going to be. The meat was juicy and tender with the rice, which was perfectly cooked. The salad didn't have any dressing but instead seemed that it was tossed in a red wine vinegar. I would come back here again any day of the week, if only for the food, but I know I would get a hookah as well. It also helps that the staff was super friendly. If you like shisha/hookah, or just good food, you should stop by here.

After arriving at 18:45 on a Friday, we waited about an hour to be seated. It's the type of welcoming ambience that immediately makes you feel at ease. The servers were attentive and friendly.

The fried artichokes were sensational. We had the strawberries and cream for dessert (not pictured). This was likely my favorite meal in Sweden.

She had asked for a table close to a window - which we got. However, I got the view (blocked by umbrellas) while my fiancé had a wall. Anyway, no biggie, just a surprise. Now, the food. The food was AMAZING. They had so much to choose from. 1 table of cold cuts with different herrings, salmon, salmon pie, bread etc. 1 table of hot dishes with scrambled eggs, omelets, soup, chicken, bbq ribs and pork (yum!). And 1 table of desserts with pancakes (with cream, 3-4 different jams, chocolate and maple syrup), pastries, brownies, croissants, apple-based desserts and much more! The food was very well prepared and frequently refilled by attentive waiters. They were equally attentive when it came to clean our table from used plates. They were all friendly without seeming pushy and we had a wonderful experience and have already decided to have our Christmas dinner there. A 5 star rating seem reasonable since the window-issue isn't big enough to warrant a loss of a star.

Located just underneith the metro, you really cant miss this small blue kiosk when you visit Bredäng. People go here to grab a quick burger or a kebab before continuing on with their daily duties. But if you know the story, you neither go here for the burger nor the kebab. You go here for the "Pappas special" which is their unfamous speciality in the hoods. The concept is fairly easy, kebab, salad, tomatoes, hot sauce and cheese. Well that doesnt sound so special? Put the ingredients in a french roll and throw it into a toaster and you will get the special thing about it! The toasted bread and kebab together with some melted cheese is pretty damn good... There is not much more to say, you should definitely go here and try it out when you are around.
