A great new Indian restaurant at 90 Luntmakargatan. We had more than we could eat for about £12 each and the daily house recommendations are good value. The food was freshly prepared and delicious and the staff very friendly.

This is the best hotdog stall in Sweden! 15 different types of korv (sausage) from across Europe and a variety of sauces, served in a hunk of fresh bread. At 45kr they aren't cheap, but every one of my friends thanks me for taking them there.

Nybrogatan 55 - next to the post office. Deepest Östermalm!

The Rival Hotel is a wonderful hotel part owned by Benny from Abba, located in the heart of Stockholm in Södermalm. The rooms are airy, affordable and complete with all the latest gadgets... a teddy bear even awaits you on the bed. The bistro downstairs is always bubbling and the bakery sells fantastic bread.

The Swedish dish of fermented herring isn't to everyone's taste, mainly due to the horrendous smell of it, but it's worth a try. You eat it on flatbread with chopped onions and cold boiled potato (almond potatoes) and sometimes a kind of fermented milk, a bit like creme fraiche. An acquired taste but worth risking.

Usually served in summer at outdoor cafes.
