Cosy restaurants in the Old Town

Kryp In

Romantic surroundings

You'll find Kryp In among the medieval alleyways of the Old Town - a restaurant serving homemade food in a historic setting - and both Stockholmers and tourists find their way here in search of a cosy dinner. Most of the tables are for two, which lends a romantic vibe to the place. The menu is dominated by European classics which you can enjoy with an accompanying drink.

Fem Små Hus

Dark and cosy

The walls at Fem Små Hus postively ooze history. The fragrance of rustic dishes hits you as you enter the historic 17 century building, the scent of rustic dishes meets you and as you venture down into the cellar you'll find an underground area with a total of nine romantic vaults. Despite the strong sense of history, modern French culinary influences have managed to sneak in and make their presence felt in the kitchen.
