This place has won some local awards a couple of years in a row now (since opening basically) for best budget eatery in Stockholm. I love the locale and the street it’s on (Erstagatan) has been really up-and-coming the past couple of years, bunch of new places including an excellent wine bar opposite.

This place is so fab! I don’t even know where to begin describing the over-the-top decorations (which change three times a year, depending on the season – I recommend Halloween!) and the food is lovely – this was the first place to do Cajun cooking in Stockholm. So much character in this place, and it’s basically had the same personnel since the 80s!

This is a brewery just around the corner from Brewdog and they do a brew pub on Fridays. Really cool to hang out there, you get like a clip-card and a glass at the door and then you pay when you leave, after sampling a bunch of delicious brews! Good music and there’s always a food truck parked outside.
