Hötorgshallen

Stockholm


Located below Filmstaden cinema, Hötorgshallen is Stockholm at its multicultural best, with stalls selling everything from fresh Nordic seafood to fluffy hummus and fragrant teas. Ready-to-eat options include Lebanese spinach parcels, kebabs and vegetarian burgers. For the ultimate feed, squeeze into galley-themed dining nook Kajsas Fiskrestaurang for a huge bowl of soulful fisksoppa (fish stew) with aioli (120kr).

While you're here, don't neglect to buy some produce from the vendors in the square outside – they're entertainers as much as they are retailers, and it's a fun way to get a good deal on some nice locally grown fruit and vegies.
