Food Scene
Aquavit Grill & Raw Bar
Very Scandinavian inspired food. They also have a good brunch
Cute café, perhaps not everyones style, but I like it because its so strange. Old furniture, old people, the strange real life of locals craving coffee and a chat with their very old best friends ;)

Köttbaren means 'The Meat Bar' which is self-explanatory. Indulge in MEAT. To save a buck but enjoy the perfectly cooked tender dish of the day - go during lunch hours. Fun and alive during evenings.

My favorite café on Djurgården. Great lunch and I love looking at their cake and cookie table! Connected to Liljevalch, which is a great museum.

Is it warm out and you're longing for a light meal and some rosé wine (or just the wine)? Go here! It's great. Sit "on" the water (there is a deck) and catch some rays with friends.

I have coffee and lunch here often. Try the grilled sandwich called "Pucko" which is slang for "Stupid" in Swedish! :D It's my favorite grilled sandwich so far in life.

One of the newer shopping malls in the City center. I have to admit I haven't checked out the stores much but the restaurants and bars are great. It's a good crowd and vibrant feel of the inner city.

If you want a PERFECT Swedish kanelbulle (sort of a cinnamon bun), this is the place. Get some coffee as well because there is free refills. Vetekatten has a cute turn of the century feel :)

Shopping
Hectic shopping street. The street is close to my home and you can actually walk straight south on Drottninggatan all the way to Gamla Stan (old town). It should take 20 or 30 minutes.

To watch Swedish plays might demand Swedish speakers, but there's always the front stairs, where people meet and flirt, to sit on and take a breather. The building itself is truly beautiful as well.
