Seeing as Stockholm is on the water, it's no surprise that there's a lot of great seafood in town. One of the best spots to indulge is Lisa Elmqvist, a restaurant tucked inside the Food Hall. With a bustling but low-key vibe, it's an ideal spot for lunch.

No great European city is complete without a sweeping, sprawling food hall, and Stockholm's Östermalms Food Hall is one of the best. Come here for a quick bite or to stock up on specialty ingredients for the week.

With it's wooden panelled bar, tiled floor, Schmaltz is your typical bistro. Pickles, pâtes, charcuterie, cheeses, and smoked fish are put on a pedestal at this spot, and for all good reason. Share a few plates and naturally, a few glasses of the natural wine. All fance aside, the highlight for us has to be their grilled cheese broodjes come lunchtime: you'll have tasted nothing quite like it! 

Whether you're on the hunt for stellar homemade pizza or simply craving a good, old-fashioned steak, Brasserie Astoria is a real charmer. This bustling brasserie has all the glamour and opulence of days gone by.
