Schwedish meat balls
Niro W.

Found this spot in the old town neighborhood of stockholm. My goal before I decided to visit Stockholm was to eat some Swedish meatballs ( as you can predict, I go to Ikea a lot for the furnitures but most importantly the food lol). I love the old town neighborhood. They have lots of options when it comes to restaurants, cafes or souvenir stores. I had a hard time finding a spot where they were serving meat balls before I came across this place. As you can see in the pictures, the meatballs are served with some sauce, potatoes and the pink stuff ( not sure what it's called). The food was amazing, I couldn't have asked for a better spot to have Swedish meatballs. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating option. The food is little pricy, but I think thats just anywhere in Stockholm.

Food from the salad bar, meatballs & potatoes, salmon & pasta

Great place to dine for lunch. Prices for meals are reasonable. I had the meatballs and potatoes. All guests are able to go up to the small salad bar, where there is bread, cold pasta, and salad. Sit outside and enjoy their outer patio!

Very nice people and very good, inexpensive dinner. Located on a busy pedestrian street so you can do plenty of people watching while you eat. The stuffed baked potato was delicious and the pasta basically melted in your mouth. Casual cafe- you order inside at the counter and they bring it out to your table.

Great spot to come in for free wifi right in old town. No iced coffee, as swedes don't truly have, but their "islatee" or iced late is damn good. The owners and employees speak English and are friendly. Chill place to post up and take in the touristy passerbyers.

Swedish meatballs, with whole potatoes instead of mashed. Good meal.

If you're looking for a cheap but tasty lunch then this place is perfect. I ordered the Swedish meatballs and my wife ordered a focaccia panini sandwich. Both were good and served quickly. The staff is kind and helpful and the atmosphere is laid back.

Friendly service and reasonable priced food for Gamla Stan. Comfy chairs and free wifi are a plus.

Alskade Traditioner is a 1950s diner that serves savory waffles, sweet waffles, and milkshakes…read more My husband and I were tourists in Stockholm, and he found this highly rated restaurant online. The employees spoke at least some English and also had English menus. I heard American oldies music playing. Savory waffles included vegetarian, chicken, pork, and seafood. Dessert waffles had ingredients such as cloudberry, lingonberry, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, apple, banana, Nutella, Biscoff, cinnamon bun, chocolate-cherry, and ice cream. Other menu items included salads, meatballs, freakshakes, and affogatos. We placed our order at the counter and paid. We took a number to a table of our choosing. Indoor seating and outdoor seating with blankets was available. Minutes later, an employee brought an incorrect food to us, so I pointed it out, and he later brought the correct foods. Here are my ratings for what we ordered: Nikas Honungskaka - 4.5 stars - soft, moist honey cake Eggs Royale - 4.5 stars - thick, fluffy cheddar-potato waffle with very smoked salmon, poached eggs, lemon hollandaise, dill, and horseradish Vuxen Kottbullar - 4.5 stars - traditional beef meatballs with mashed potatoes, cream sauce, lingonberries, and pickled cucumber Maja Graddnos Frasvaffla Hjortronsylt - 4.5 stars - thin, crispy waffle topped with my choice of cloudberry jam and whipped cream The total price for these four foods plus a soda and a juice was 743 Swedish Krona or about $75 USD.

This is such a cute homey place. Yes it is touristy, but hey that's what I am and it does have a…read morelot of local Swedes as well. As I am a tourist, I got that crazy milkshake with a cinnamon bun on top of it just for good measure of course. The cinnamon buns in Sweden are obviously exceptional as they originated from there- crunchy on the outside and warm, melted, soft cinnamon goodness on the inside. The waffles are delicious as well, regardless of which waffle you get. All in all, this is a great place to go to if you're visiting Stockholm!
