Stockholm
in Sweden

Pizza by the slice and a good glass of natural vino: it's like being back in NYC. Only when you pop by 800 Grader and get your ever-so cheesy stracciatella, or pizza con le patate, you're in fact in the scenic, quiet streets of Södermalm. Pop by for a casual lunch or dinner, before wandering around SoFo. 

Adam/Albin is an intimate fine dining restaurant with a simple but intriguing menu. The dishes are super beautiful, so be prepared to whip out your phone to snap a pic or two.

A neighborhood bistro which remains unbelievably hip but also so tasty. Settle down for some celeriac skewers, tempura fried soft shell crab, or turbot fillet and some stellar wine to top it all off. 

Food doesn't always have the power to make us speechless; the dishes served at Aira do. The tasting menu is more comparable to a journey than simply a series of course. Few words sum up just how good the food is, you'll just have to taste it to understand. 

The waiters, lovingly referred to as the three musketeers, bring the wholesome vibes to this tiny wine bar. Tables and chairs are continuously added throughout the evening, as the wine flows steadily, and the music cramps up a notch! There is no place we'd rather spend our Friday evenings! 

Serving innovative small Asian plates perfect for sharing, great cocktails, and having great vibes is what it is all about at Asian post office. This popular establishment is the perfect spot with your girlfriends before a night out as the vibes are always high. Make sure to order the crispy pork buns when you go, they are amazing. 

Wander through Norrmalm & settle in at this popular neighbourhood spot for simple Italian-inspired comfort food. Babette has some of the best pizzas in town in our humble opinion.

Consider this our ode to BAMBI. Relatively new to the Stockholm dining scene, BAMBI is that neighborhood spot that attracts the hip crowd of natural wine lovers and food fanatics of Södermalm. Hearty portions (for both the food and the free poured wine), loud tunes, and a terrific buzz, we see why it has been coined 'bambi_4_ever'! 

Though this spot is slightly iconic for its delicious cheesecake, expect some hearty, cheesy dishes - from its burrata, to truffle toasties and nduja, parmesan toasties to its more refined sashimi and pickled cucumber. Great vibes, and terrific wines, this is a hidden, neighborhood gem in Kungsholmen.  

Bar Agrikultur is the casual sister restaurant of Agrikultur. We love it for its fresh, tasty small plates showcasing the best of local produce.

When the sun comes out in Stockholm, it's safe to say the city comes alive. And one terrace not to be missed is at Bar Libertin. Great natural wines and some stellar small plates to tuck away at, we're more than happy to make the small commute to this gem. 

Bar Montan is yet another hot spot in the industrial Slakthusområdet. With its dimly lit lighting, wooden decor, and concrete walls the interior is a design-fanatics haven. The food is also one for the foodies: with a concentrated menu, though there's not so much to choose from everything tastes just superb! 

Bacchanale. This French bistro makes you profoundly content. From its beautiful interiors, the hustle and bustle of the chefs at the open kitchen, the hip crowds it attracts to the superb wine and food. From small plates to sharing main dishes, and the infamous tarte tatin. There's deliciousness in every mouthful. 

If we're ever longing for a taste of France (and frankly when are we not) we head straight to Bistro Mirabelle. The bistrot classics may be scribbled on a chalkboard but the food is nothing short of perfection. Tuck in to the daube d'aubergine topped with panisse, the pavlova Mirabelle to finish, with some top-notch wines alongside. 

Bitza is one of those restaurants that makes you want to come back again and again. The neighborhood vibes of the restaurant, dim-lighting, extremely kind service, and delicious food are truly one of a kind. 

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. 

Stockholm is far from short of wine bars, in fact they're dotted around the blocks as frequent as café's are in Melbourne! Café Cuvée is a cosy spot to spend your evening sampling some delicious wines, and sharing some small plates alongside. From the Swedish classics such as white asparagus and torsk with forellrom, to their sweet treats: there's something for everyone. 

With women at its helm, Café Klotet is the newest addition to Södermalm's vibrant food scene and boy does it not let us down. With a magnificent view over the tiled rooftops of Gamla Stan and Skeppsholmen, join the fashionista locals and dine on the ever-changing, seasonal menu. 

It's cosy, quaint, but so full of life. Whether you're on the hunt for a pre-dinner drink, or after a bite to eat, Cave Nizza seriously has it all. We must also give a mention to the impeccable vibes of this spot, it truly is a gem. 

A little taste of France within Östermalm: Chez Nolie's take on the French bistro scene is perfectly executed. Wooden panels, mirrored wall and white tablecloths make this spot a perfect place to cosy up for the evening. Dine on one of their dishes of the week, whether it's a steak minute, or omelette aux artichoke, bon appétit. 

Duvan transports you from the quiet streets of Stockholm, to a classic - albeit slightly rowdy - British pub. The vibes of this neighborhood spot are overwhelmingly cool, exciting, and warm as the Guiness is passed around and the aromas from the kitchen fill the space. Expect hearty food, heartier portions, and if you go on a Sunday, a classic roast dinner. Roasties, cauliflower cheese, and yorkshire puds - does it get much better than that!

This low-key, casual restaurant is bringing delicious Mediterranean food to snowy Stockholm. Order a pita wrap or hummus bowl at the colourful bar, grab a drink, and take a seat in this lively eatery. 

Flippin' Burgers is definitely the best burger shop in Stockholm. It keeps things simple. A brioche bun, a juicy patty and ever-so generous on the cheese. What's there not to like?
