Sukai

Tasteful contrasts

Sushi Sukai combines colourful food with an elegant and sober environment - making for a balanced yin/yang type contrast. Choose from several varieties of sushi and sashimi as well as various sides, either to take away or enjoy in the restaurant where dark marble, plants and candles create a restful oasis in the middle of central Östermalm.

  • Type of lunch: Sushi around 135-170 SEK

Kale & Crave

Kale

Kale & Crave is a trendy lunch spot, particularly among Östermalm's office workers, as the focus here is on healthy fast food with kale as the common denominator. In addition to a couple of main dishes, there are several nutrient-packed salads to choose between, with your choice of protein. Eat on site or take away.
