When I lived in this area, Mysingen was our favorite restaurant by far.

It's a pizzeria with a la carte and drinks and desserts as well. The Petti di pollo, with prosciutto-wrapped chicken, chevre, sundried tomatoes, and pesto sauce is heavenly. Another favourite of mine is the salmon, Filetto di Salmone alla Parmegiana. But I have never tried a dish I didn't like, and nor has my partner! Pappardelle con petti di pollo and Penna alla casa are also fantastic! They have some outdoor seating which is nice on sunny days, although the indoor seating is actually more comfortable. The staff are very friendly and get to know you quite quickly. They make a mean sangria and know their dessert wines. Highly recommended by a local!

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.

Once on the island you can sunbathe if the weather permits or hike. There are also a couple restaurants, cafes and specialty shops to keep you busy. It's expensive to get here SEK 145, but if you purchase the Stockholm Pass it'll save aggravation since it's included. Pleasant retreat from the city and recommended if visiting Stockholm.

The staff were friendly and professional without being intrusive and assisted us to move inside easily when the weather turned. The food was amazing and timely and we enjoyed the recommended condiments. I ordered a meat platter (seasonal I think) and my husband the half chicken (very big chicken!). Very worth the hike for a lovely meal in an interesting location with great service.

Nice sized portions and very nicely seasoned.

I really wanted to try something that would reflect the culture of the country and if this is it, I could stay here a long time. Such delicious food and while familiar still totally different. FOOD: Had to get the meatballs. I have to tell you, I had meatballs the day before and they were basically IKEA meatballs. These? Pretty amazing. Not heavy but filling. Not like Italian meatballs in case you were wondering. So good! My wife got this dish that looks like bacon pie and it was so awesome! There were many other things I would love to try on the menu, but I had to go with the meatballs and you should, too. SERVICE: Not impressed with the hostess who greeted us with disdain, but the guy at the bar who served us was wonderful. The kitchen made a mistake, and our order was super late. Our bar guy though fixed it right away and then refused a tip. He said the most amazing thing, "I'd have to give it up for offering you such poor service." I would have given him double. COST: Very reasonable for the unique and tasty food. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to try some authentic Swedish food.

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.

When staying next to Gamla Stan we read that this was a place not to be missed..only it was so easy…read moreto miss and we had to give a pretty good search before finally locating it. 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.
