A wonderful brunch restaurant. We love everything on the menu and we are frequent guests! Eggs Benedicte, blueberry pancakes... vegan alternatives and gluten free bread as an option. Sometimes it's a 1h line on the week-end, so you may want to drop in and put your name on the list beforehand :)

A truly unique Thai restaurant, also great to visit with kids. Located on a boat with a little beach with palm trees in summer and open fire + heated igloos in winter! Also the food and drinks are really good, nice staff and good prices. Take a nice walk along the harbor and look at the boats (some where people live) if you have time to pass.

A charming café in a secluded and leafy setting with a large and very popular selection of baked goods. The castle-like building is located along the pedestrian path on Djurgården, and it’s a splendid place for lunch or a coffee break between visits to Skansen, the Vasa Museum, and other nearby attractions.

Rosendals gardens is a place where many Stockholmers will go on a sunny day, but there's room for many! Located in a fantastic setting on Djurgården island there's a great restaurant/café that offers salads, soups, sandwiches and pastries made in the bakery next door. A lot of the ingredients come from their own garden. In the summer you can sit on the grass in the orchard.

Gamla stan dates back to the 13th century. Medieval alleyways, cobbled streets, and the Royal Palace. Gamla Stan is like a living, pedestrian-friendly museum, filled with sights, restaurants, cafés, bars, and places to shop. Lately, Gamla Stan has become a virtual gastro-island, with quite a few excellent and award-winning restaurants to chose from.
