Two Foodies in Stockholm

When we were invited to the Michelin event we decided to make a full Stockholm weekend out of it. Stockholm is an amazing food destination! There are so many great food spots to visit, and it was extremely hard to choose just a few to fit into our short foodcation. We were lucky to get to stay at our good friends Charlotte & Tom's place, and they also joined us for some of the dining experiences. Thank you, guys!

We'll share the highlights from our trip here, but check back later for another blogpost dedicated to our favorite coffee spots and one featuring the entire meal from Restaurang Yolo. Coming up!

The Flying Elk

The Flying Elk is the sister restaurant of two-Michelin-star restaurant Frantzén. It is a gastropub that serves rustic food. Check out their "frunch" on Saturdays and their special burger on Sundays.

Wienercaféet

We found this great breakfast spot, not to speak of amazing pastry spot, thanks to our friend enfoodie. Wienercaféet is a French style café with marble and gold decorations and pastries in all imaginable and unimaginable shapes and forms.

Råkultur

To our knowledge Råkultur serves the best sushi in Stockholm, and certainly the best sushi we ever had. Most of the menu items include ingredient combinations we haven't seen any other place. It is highly recommended to have a seat at the bar counter in front of the kitchen, so you can watch the chefs work their magic.

Four types of Gunkan exclusive: 1) Grilled duck heart with black pepper teriyaki. 2) Momofuku plum chili. 3) Zander with lardo from Swedish waguy. 4) Duck breast teriyaki with foie gras cru. Finally maki with burnt salmon skin and roasted garlics.

Berns Asiatiska

Charlotte & Tom took us to the monthly event "Out of Office" at the historical and majestical saloon Berns. Somewhat spontaneously we decided to drop by Berns Asiatiska for a quick nibble before our meal at Oaxen later. After all, Stockholm's playboy number one, Joachim, had recommended their dim sums as well.

Oaxen Slip

Oaxen Krog & Slip is actually two restaurants and should be very happy with the new nordic Michelin Guide. The now two-Michelin star Oaxen Krog only serves a tasting menu, so we decided to keep it more casual and check out the Bib Gourmand spot Oaxen Slip in stead. We did not regret that decision! Little did we know that we would taste the best tartar we ever had, and end up eating a pig's head!

We started off with some snacks. Left to right, back to front: 1) Almond potato croquettes with smoked cod & sour cream dip. 2) Roasted Jerusalem artichoke with Oaxen cured ham & cream cheese. 3) Pork rind with Tuscan kale puree.

Tartar of topside with mustard mayonnaise, sour cream & sourdough croutons. The best tartar we ever ate! Hard to admit, but this even beat the one from Manfred's in Copenhagen.

"Bring us the head of a pig," we said, and they sure did...

Warm cloudberry jam with parfait, Madeleine & crispy honey from Djurgården.

Salt fudge ice cream with cream of lingonberry & nut caramel.

Taverna Brillo

Anders had planned most visits to the last detail, but managed to miss that Adam & Albins matstudio did not serve lunch in the weekend. Alas! It will have to be for our next visit. Thus, we ended up at another very good alternative; Taverna Brillo. A place known for their great baking skills.

Restaurang Yolo

We get a lot of our restaurant tips from the people we follow on Instagram, and Restaurang Yolo is certainly no exception. It's doubtful we would ever have come across this place by chance, as it's located a good 30 minutes outside the city. Although it is extremely difficult to choose, Yolo is our favorite restaurant from the trip, simply because of the most rememberable flavors. We'll be making a dedicated blogpost for this place to be posted later, with all the dishes. Here's a teaser...

So, you don't think we have time for anything but food?

Well, that is wrong! We definitely find time to enjoy the time in between restaurant and café visits. One of the things we like to do is to walk in beautiful areas and look at pretty things. Like this view of the city from Södermalm.

Hi Andrea,
I just read your wonderful article! I am also a complete foodie and coffee snob :) I am travelling with my family to Stockholm next April (2017) and wondered if you could recommend a good spot to stay to immerse ourselves in great food and Swedish atmosphere. I've heard great things about Sodermalm but it is such a big district on the map I can't even work out which part of it is best to stay in! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance from Australia.
