Stockholm
Step into the lavish art-deco interior here and you are transported to the grand cafes of Vienna and Paris. Pastry chef Per Bäckström has ensured that this is the place to come in town for tea (2pm-5pm). And not just a cuppa, but a lavish Ritz Hotel-style experience including scones and cream, choux puffs and assorted cakes.
The breakfasts are similarly mouthwateringly lavish and varied; light lunches are also served.
