If you want to experience the hipster vibe of Stockholm restaurants and bars, Tegelbacken is a good place to go. It’s new; just opened in the center of the city, right on the waterfront overlooking Vasabron and the Parliament House. The atmosphere is elegant and colorful, but at the same time casual. They stand that they serve “unpretentious, tasty and freshly prepared food”. The dishes come in a medium size and the chef’s selection is divided into cold, warm and sweet food. If you don’t want to visit for a meal, you can enjoy a cocktail in the glamorous pink lounge.

You will find a mix of cultures at this restaurant to experience, with the senses of taste and smell. Their secret is to mix 23 specific flavors with 56 cooking methods to create over 5,000 traditional dishes. They recommend to book a table in advanced, because the restaurant is usually full. If the online bookings are sold out, you can try calling. The idea of the experience is that you can order a couple of dishes to try more than one. They are not big servings so you might need more than one to get full. Don’t stop until you’ve had enough!
