Sturehof
This multi-purpose, relaxed establishment has earned the sobriquet: 'Stockholm's living room'. In the heart of the Stureplan entertainment hub, with its four bars, sidewalk cafe and dining room, it has become a popular meeting place from early morning until late at night. The classic restaurant, styled as a modern brasserie, is renowned for its fish and shellfish, but also serves up some delicious Swedish home cooking, all extravagantly prepared and presented. The menu features a vast array, from light snacks to tempting main courses such as lobster, fish and oysters, as well as meat and vegetarian dishes. Open daily for lunch and dinner.

Kaffegillet
A warm and friendly atmosphere, reasonable prices and hearty local traditional specialities make Kaffegillet, one of the oldest restaurants in Stockholm, a perennial favourite with locals and visitors alike.

Erik’s Gondolen
This well-known waterfront restaurant is an institution in Stockholm, where celebrity chef Erik Lallerstedt serves up neo-Swedish cuisine and French specialities in a dining room that hangs beneath a 100-foot (30m) high walkway, much like the gondola of an airship. The unusual setting allows for dining with a spectacular view over the old town, Lake Mälaren and the Baltic. Erik's opens for lunch on Saturdays and lunch and dinner during the week. Examples from the menu are shellfish soup, fillet of venison and Kaluha cheesecake.
