To make it easier to find the right spot, we've gathered together some hot tips for great lunch restaurants in central Stockholm. Follow our guide to lunch places in Stockholm city centre, ie. Norrmalm, divided into three areas: around T-Centralen, around Hötorget and around Kungsträdgården. We've drawn the border with Vasastan at Tegnérgatan and the border with Östermalm at Birger Jarlsgatan.
