Sweden
The strawberry daiquiris (and the food) in Lisa på Torget in Östermalmstorg are superb.
For a hearty meal of meatballs and potatoes (washed down with the odd beer and some brännvin) head for Pelikan in Södermalm. This is an old beer hall with a 'gritty' Swedish feel, for when the charm and smarm of Östermalm (in the centre) takes it toll. Entertainment is occasionally provided in the form of an ageing madman who climbs a chair and starts lecturing the hall in (very loud) Swedish. You should not leave without dipping into the vast number of schnapps available!
Blekingegatan 40
Step off the Arlanda Express or bus from the airport and head for a deep chill in the Ice Bar, located near the central station in the Nordic Sea Hotel on Vasaplan. Sip ABSOLUT vodka cocktails from ice glasses whilst wearing oven mitts and a snug poncho complete with a furry hood fit for the occasion. Chilly, touristy and incredibly funny.
