If you're an Östermalm local, chances are you've stopped by Penny Parnevik's ever-so-trendy new venture. Restaurang Parken: where to begin! Natural wines are dallied out and slurped by those folks lucky enough to nab a terrace table and a Mediterranean-cum-Middle East feast generously served as sharing plates to those inside. Though Penny's pasta is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser what really sets Parken about is its buzzing atmosphere. 

A collaboration with some of our favourites - from the family which brought us Café Nizza and Schmaltz - and Jonas Lindgren, the Totemo Ramen founder. It therefore comes to no surprise that the ramen and sharing dishes at Tengu are next-level tasty. Excellent vibes and some super craft beers to sample, this is one of our go-to eateries in Östermalm. 

This small yet elegant boutique hotel townhouse is hidden behind a large wooden gate, which opens onto a tree-framed courtyard garden. Led by owner Jeanette Mix, the hotel’s ethos is to preserve the homely feel of this former private residence; stroll into the working kitchen, browse the books in the library, and read a paper in the Finn Juhl-designed chairs. With interiors by Ilse Crawford, this design-driven building has creativity at its core and an intimate, home-from-home atmosphere throughout.

Grab a quick and healthy salad to go from this wildly popular chain restaurant. Kale & Crave is all the rage in Stockholm, and for good reason! Their salads are delicious and the team always kind.
