Very popular spot, there are two of the same shops right next to each other (Kaffekoppen and Chokladkoppen). Same menus! Try their hot chocolate and they have HUGE cinnamon buns. Great place for a fika!

ALSO a bar! They have a GREAT terrace! They also have all you can eat (fixed price) breakfasts on the weekends, I believe (i.e. you pay 200 kr and its a buffet). Out of all the buffet breakfast/brunches I have been to, this is by far the most bang for your buck. And its super delicious! Get there early though!

This is probably on every single tourist list for Stockholm... but I have yet to find a place that serves better meatballs than this place (they also have vegetarian ones!). It's a no hassle restaurant, staff are very nice too! If you just need to "try" Swedish food to get it off your bucket list, I wouldn't go anywhere else (well maybe Kalf & Hansen).

AMAZING lunch spot. Super busy all the time, so its hard to get a spot (but they have take out!), locals go here too. They have local, organic and mostly vegetarian Scandinavian fare (kind of like fast food, because they serve it fast, but its actually quite health). Its really great, if you are in the area, definitely recommend it!

Eating out is expensive in Stockholm, and finding GOOD food when you eat out is very hard. This place ranges from 150-250 kr per entree, but I would say it has some of the best food I have tasted in that price range.

This is what we would call in North America a food court, but of course in Scandinavia its super nice and the fast food is ten times healthier! (Really what is it, lots of restaurants that have set up almost like a "pop up" faster version of their restaurant). Super great on a budget! Food and drinks!

Good place to get a one time grill, from the grocery store, and bring it here to enjoy the sunshine and good food! Also, on Saturday mornings they have a market, at the bottom of the park, across from Fältöversten.

Super cute and cosy in the summer, since the streets around get turned into pedestrian streets. I would highly recommend any cafe/resturant/bar that faces into this park.

Locals spot! They play kind of aggressive music upstairs, but downstairs is the bar in what used to be an old cellar (typical of many bars and restaurants in Gamla Stan) where they have a great selection of beer, and you can try mead here too! (Mead is a really sweet beer made with honey, that Vikings used to drink).
