are probably in Gamla Stan. There are also a lot of restaurants surrounding Kungsträdgården and bars near Stureplan. The Grand Hotel has a nice bar. If you want to buy liquor/wine they have state run stores (Systembolaget) which...

Lunch in Sweden is traditionally warm food not sandwiches. Some casual places with good Swedish food are Pontus in the Green House bar in Gamla Stan, Sturehof at Stureplan and Restaurangen near Sergels Torg.

a great smorgasbord. Bistro Ruby Österlånggatan 14 Old Town (Gamla Stan) Tel: 08 20 5776 Moderately priced bistro in the Old Town with excellent food and convivial crowd. A fun place to go, but not particularly romantic. Very generous...

dishes were forgettable. We also stumbled on a small cafe in Gamla Stan on our way to Pontus in the Greenhouse (which was closed for renovations) and had an excellent dinner there (though I can’t remember the name). We had a...

Another nice place for traditional Swedish food is Glenfiddich (08 791 90 90) in Gamla Stan, in the same location as the Ardbeg Room (which has been recommended here in the past). They have nice game dishes (reindeer, elk, etc.),...

. For lunch I strongly recommend going to Pontus in the Green House in the old town (Gamla Stan). Sit at the bar and take dagens rätt (there is only one option switchs daily). You get the best bread basket in the city (it is the...

Jason and others may want to reassess Israeli wine. I’m not impressed with the big growers like Gamla/Yarden and Carmel’s new single vineyard wines. But definitely worth a look are: Yatir Clos du Gat Castel Ella Valley...

Becky – Saw your request while searching for online site for passover wine gift. IMHO, Yarden and Gamla (Israel) are consistently good and pricey. In moderate pricing: Teal Lake (Australia) - pace others & Baron Herzog...

There were a couple knockout meals during our 12 days away but starting out sick the first couple days didn’t help. Stockholm was the first four nites and dinner at Glenfiddich (Västerlångatan 68, Gamla Stan) started us off...
