Mamma o. jag Bistro

Cosy family-owned bistro

Hanna and her mother Frida run this delightful neighbourhood restaurant on Tjärhovsgatan. The specialty at this homely bistro is medium-sized dishes with seasonal flavours and top-quality ingredients, but some dishes are always on the menu, such as their steak tartare made from dry-aged Swedish beef. 

Pat's Place

Trendy Thai

Pat's Place on Folkungagatan serves a rather cooler version of Thai cuisine. Humorously-named Thai "tapas" are the order of the day and you won't find any waving cats in the window or over-full plates of Pad Thai at this restaurant.

Stockholm Ost & Chark

European theme

Stockholm Ost & Chark has several strings to its bow besides the obvious one, the deli. There's also a bar and restaurant decorated in Continental bistro style with bentwood chairs and a chequered tiled floor. Fine foods are served in the form of European dishes as well as luxurious cheese and charcuterie platters, best paired with a quality wine by the glass.

Dryck Vinbar

Conscious wine bar

This wine bar right next to Mariatorget focuses on small-scale, organic, biodynamic and sustainably-produced wine, as well as food. There's plenty of space for several groups around the tables or in the bar, surrounded by a lively buzz and clinking glasses. The kitchen serves bar food, from cheese and charcuterie platters to flatbread pizzas.

The Hills

Run to the hills

The Hills is a local bistro on Götgatan, one of those neighbourhood joints where you can just as easily drop by for a coffee in the morning as dinner or an evening cocktail with friends. They serve both lunch and dinner with roots in rustic French cuisine, just the way head chef Lelle Rössler likes it.
