Stockholm Archipelago
Near the Gruvbryggan harbour, this lively restaurant-bar has a young, casual vibe, with meals ranging from hearty fish stew to quinoa salad. The fried Baltic herring (195kr) with lingonberries and mashed potatoes is recommended, while the decent burgers are made using brioche buns from the celebrated bakery across the street. The pizza is popular, though serious pizza aficionados may not be overly impressed.
The kitchen usually closes at 10pm.
