Bolaget

Take a defunct Systembolaget (state-owned alcohol shop), chip the ‘System’ off the signage, and reinvent the space as a buzzing, French bistro–inspired hot spot. Dishes are suitably Gallic, from duck-liver terrine with butter-fried sourdough bread and fig marmalade, to Toulouse sausage with sauerkraut, smoked pork belly and Dijon mustard. Staffers are amiable and the summertime square-side bar seating is perfect for people watching.
