Visited Bobergs Matsal in NK (Nordiska Kompaniet) department store the other day for some fine-dining lunch. Bobergs Matsal was originally opened in 1915, but has been closed until a few years ago, when it was re-opened by chef Björn Frantzén of famous Frantzén restaurant in Stockholm. Bobergs Matsal is a quite classic fine-dining experience, but… Continue reading Lunch at Bobergs Matsal in Stockholm

Where to find the prinsessemla in Stockholm
The prinsessemla, or prinsess-semla, was recently invented. Now it has reached Stockholm and Konditori Vallmofröt in Hagsätra. The creation is a fusion between two classic Swedish pastries; the semla and the prinsesstårta (princess cake). Since both are heavy in their whipped cream content, the combination is a quite good one, with both’s main features remaining… Continue reading Where to find the prinsessemla in Stockholm
Sunday waffle fika at Älskade Traditioner
Just got back to the Sunday couch after a sugar-rushy fika at retroish café Älskade Traditioner on Södermalm in Stockholm.

The place is located on… Continue reading Sunday waffle fika at Älskade Traditioner
Lillördag at Burger and lobster Stockholm
One of the best lillördag aka Tiny Saturday (which is in fact Wednesday) activities in Stockholm in my mind is to combine restaurant Pocket by Pontus’ champagne Wednesday with lobster dinner at adjoining (you can actually walk between them indoors) Burger and Lobster Stockholm. On Wednesdays Pocket by Pontus lower their price for a full… Continue reading Lillördag at Burger and lobster Stockholm
Great Napoli style pizza in Stockholm at Meno Male
Recently, several Naples or Napoli style pizza restaurants have opened in Stockholm, which for me is great, since I love the chewy dough of these fast baked wonders. The other day I tried Meno Male for a decadent office pizza lunch (via delivery). I had their pizza with spicy salami, fior di latte (sort of… Continue reading Great Napoli style pizza in Stockholm at Meno Male
Dinner at Mosebacke Etablissement (Södra Teaterns Restaurang) in Stockholm

The restaurant has a new menu that I was invited to try (eg. the meal was paid for by the restaurant). The menu has a focus on ‘aware’ comfort… Continue reading Dinner at Mosebacke Etablissement (Södra Teaterns Restaurang) in Stockholm
Swedish Christmas
Just got back home a couple of kilos heavier after three days of Christmas celebrations with family. Swedish Christmas is mainly celebrated on ‘Julafton’, which is Christmas Eve the 24th of December. The day is usually started with some kind of Christmas breakfast. Then many people watch the 3 pm Disney’s Christmas or “Kalle” (from… Continue reading Swedish Christmas
Fancy kebab at Meat on a Stick in Stockholm
Finally paid a visit to semi-posh kebab joint “Meat on a Stick” in Stockholm. The place was founded by a kebab lover that’s been traveling the world eating lots of kebab trying to find the perfect one. That, generally positive reviews and my own love for kebab brought me there yesterday for an early dinner.… Continue reading Fancy kebab at Meat on a Stick in Stockholm
Stockholm’s best cinnamon bun (kanelbulle)?
Kanelbullar or cinnamon buns is probably Sweden’s most famous contribution to the world of sweets. A buttery cinnamony creation that at its best can elevate the simplest fika to something great. So, you wonder where to find the best version of the kanelbulle in Stockholm. Well, of course opinions will be divided, and I feel… Continue reading Stockholm’s best cinnamon bun (kanelbulle)?
Meatballs at Kvarnen
Just got back from a visit to Kvarnen, a classic Stockholm beerhall and restaurant situated on Södermalm. My expectations weren’t that high, but I actually got pleasantly surprised with my meatballs. Swedish meatballs with cream sauce, mashed potatoes, pickled cucumbers and lingonberries. Four out of five meatballs were juicy and tasty, one was dry. Still… Continue reading Meatballs at Kvarnen
