Living in Stockholm, and being a big negroni lover, and after reading this list about the best negronis in town, I had to pay the number one entry, Ciccio’s, a visit. Ciccio’s ’Negroni XL’ is, according to their menu, served ”generous”, and additionaly comes with a few included negroni friendly nibbles in the shape of… Continue reading Stockholm’s best negroni?

4 days in northern Sweden (Åre and Sundsvall) by train from Stockholm
Stockholm-Sundsvall: A night at Elite Hotel Knaust This Christmas, we found ourselves with a few extra vacation days we needed to spend, and not wanting to spend them entirely on video games and Netflix in the sofa at home, – and prices for flying to the sun in Southern Europe and beyond already steep –… Continue reading 4 days in northern Sweden (Åre and Sundsvall) by train from Stockholm
Recipe for my homemade Swedish meatballs
One of my favourite Swedish dishes, and probably one of the few Swedish dishes non-Swedes have even heard about, is the famous Swedish meatballs. I’ve seen a few crazy interpretations over the world, but these are quite genuine. 🙂 There’s a crazy twist with these meatballs, and that is that you make them in the… Continue reading Recipe for my homemade Swedish meatballs
Island hopping in the Stockholm archipelago
Just outside the capital of Sweden, Stockholm, where I live, there is an archipelago of somewhere around 24 000 islands, both inhabited and uninhabited. I should admit I haven’t traveled much in the archipelago, but since this years coronavirus related travel restrictions made me stay at home, I thought why not give an old travel… Continue reading Island hopping in the Stockholm archipelago
Christmas dinner at Operaterrassen with Julbordsmäklarna
This is a paid article in collaboration with Julbordsmäklarna. I recently visited Operaterrassen, a sort of fancier julbord– julbord being Swedish for a Christmas buffet – the literal translation being ‘Christmas table’, that you eat during the Christmas period, which roughly stretches from the 1st of December until Christmas Eve on the 24th. Booking Operaterrassen… Continue reading Christmas dinner at Operaterrassen with Julbordsmäklarna
Taking the Arctic Circle Train to see the Northern lights in Abisko, Sweden
(Sorry about the blurry picture, Northern lights were much harder to photograph than I had anticipated. But what an experience!) Anyways, last weekend we took the SJ Nattåg 94, also known as the Arctic Circle Train, from Stockholm’s Central Station to Abisko in the far north of Sweden to hopefully see some Northern lights (or… Continue reading Taking the Arctic Circle Train to see the Northern lights in Abisko, Sweden
Dinner at Restaurang Hantverket in Stockholm
After thinking of visiting for a year or so tonight it was finally time to visit Restaurang Hantverket in Stockholm. Below is what we had. Nibbles: first a tuttul flatbread with ”slarvsylta” of pork knuckle and homemade butter. Also Hantverket’s possibly most instagrammed dish; deep-fried Hasselback potatoes with dill, bleak roe, sour cream and spring… Continue reading Dinner at Restaurang Hantverket in Stockholm
Best fika in a while at Mr Cake

Mr Cake is a collaboration by famous bakers Mattias Ljungberg and Roy Fares, and serves Swedish fika with an American twist. Naturally I had to pay them a visit. Since… Continue reading Best fika in a while at Mr Cake
Pre-flight dinner at Pontus in the Air at Stockholm Arlanda Airport
I visited Pontus in the Air, Stockholm Arlanda airport’s sort of fancy restaurant, on the way to Bologna recently. It’s a welcome addition to Terminal 5 (post security) where there are not that many good options for a good meal. Pontus in the Air is named after owner Pontus Frithiof who runs a couple of… Continue reading Pre-flight dinner at Pontus in the Air at Stockholm Arlanda Airport
What to eat in Visby on Gotland
Recently spent three days on the beautiful island of Gotland, just a short flight south east of Stockholm (or a shortish ferry ride). [Since many of you visiting search for the English name for salmbär, I thought I’d make it easy for you: it’s dewberry. :)] Since my time on the island was quite limited,… Continue reading What to eat in Visby on Gotland
