Even if a restaurant seem to have pricey dinner/a la carte offerings there should be reasonable lunch options available. Worth it, definitely in the more posh places such as Operakällaren.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6037 Gamla Stan (The Old Town) http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6029
There are plenty of medieval cafes to head into for lunch or fika (morning or afternoon tea/coffee break) - sitting sipping hot chocolate in a medieval stone cellar complete with arches and stuff is exciting for most people. Chokladkoppen on Stortorget is always good, and so is Kaffegillet on Trångsund.

Västerlånggatan is the main drag, but sadly quite touristy these days. But if you're in the business of getting some reindeer slippers or the like, this is where to go. Österlånggatan is nicer, with little antiques shops and galleries. Next to Gamla Stan is Riddarholmen, which also has lots of history. The Parliament and the beautiful Riddarholmskyrkan church are located here.

Good places for food/drink:
Pontus in the Green House on Österlånggatan (good for lunch) - traditional Swedish cuisine but with an exotic twist.
Pontus by the Sea on Skeppsbrokajen (good for lunch) - see above.
Grill Ruby on Österlånggatan (lunch) - brasserie.
Källaren Movitz on Tyska Brinken – doesn’t look that special, but the restaurant downstairs is good for Swedish food.
Järnet Matsal & Bar on Österlånggatan is cosy and does good food.
Engelen/Kolingen on Kornhamnstorg - a nice old-school type of place where you're pretty much guaranteed to get a good night out.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6029 Östermalms Korvståndet http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6027 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6027 Hermans http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6023 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6023 Tranan http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5984 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5984 Magnus Ladulås restaurant http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5978
In winter there is an ice gallery right opposite where you can pop in for a shot of vodka.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5978
