Low-End. Hidden gem on top of the "mountain", right next to the Stockholm Observatory who has the record for oldest continuous temperaturemeasurement in the world. Maybe not that facinating, but the waffles at this place are nice!

Mid-Range. My favourite tapas restaurant, the squid is excellent! Also a cool place to stay for a few cocktails, usually awesome DJ:s after 11pm. The wine list a bit pricy

Knut
17 UpplandsgatanMid-Range. Northern Swedish kitchen, try the elk or reindeer.
Mid- to High Range. Has served authentic Nordic home cooking since the opening in 1722, making it one of the oldest restaurants in the world. As such you would think that it's touristy and living on it's heritage, but it is actually very popular among Stockholmers. Ask to be seated in the basement vaults.

High-End. Specializes in meat, hence not a place for vegetarians. Always locally produces and seasonal meats, they know their way around the butchers block.

Low-Range. When Flippin' opened in 2012 it became almost mythological, with permanent queues around the block. First time I visited the waiting time for a burger was three hours... Apparently , the founder quit his job to tour America for burger inspirations, it seems that his effort paid off. The hype has come down a bit since then, but this is still a kick ass burger joint!

Best club in Stockholm, might seem far away but it's only 10 minutes by subway - easy choice if your looking for a good night out! The queues are legendary though, sometimes they can go for hours (!) so be there before 8pm or bring some refreshments while you wait.

This is an old theater converted into club/bar/concert hall, the outside bar is a good place to start a summer evening. HINT: not a lot of people go to the champagne bar on the seventh floor, if it's open DO IT! The best view of Stockholm anywhere! They also have board games, if you're into that kind of thing
