    Hidden gem! It was raining, so we looked for the first Hobbit we could find and stumbled upon this quaint little cafe. I order led some dun cake and a round of hot chocolate; definitely hit the spot. So if you are looking for a place to relax, why not Cafe Sten Sture??

    This restaurant, which is an old underground prison, was located seconds from our Airbnb. It was the first place we saw after dropping off our bags. Normally we wouldn't go in the first place we see, but the decor was very intriguing. We were cordially greeted and sat in a private booth. The history is just amazing and the food is the same! My wife and I both ordered traditional Swedish dishes and we were both very impressed. For dessert, I took a Swedish chocolate ball to go with chocolate syrup drizzled on top. We highly recommend this restaurant at least once during your visit to Stockholm!

    This is my favorite place to go for fika whenever I'm in Gamla Stan! It's a hidden little treasure of a medieval dungeon turned cafe! I wouldn't have found it unless someone had showed me it, it feels like a secret spot! The cafe has loads of charm and cozy nooks to eat their delicous fika and they always have the best music playing! The staff has always been so helpful and willing speak English. The cafe also accepts some different currencies, one time we paid with Swedish Crowns, US dollars, and a few Euros!

    Interesting cafe down some dark stairs but turned out to be pleasant. A nice relaxing drink away from the cold.

    As we were walking down to the entrance of the restaurant, we learned that it used to be a prison.

    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!

    Super adorable little spot, furnished with thrifted furniture and decorated with vintage ads and…read moreitems. The wait staff all wear vintage style outfits as well. I'm not sure what Swedish waffles and 1950s diners have in common, but this place makes it work for sure. We came in on a Sunday morning, and were able to get seated right away. My cousin and I both had the raspberry waffle with whipped cream (75 sek, approx $8USD.). The waffle was perfectly crispy and the jam was delicious, but it wasn't a particularly filling for the price, really just a treat. They had fancier offerings as well, for a bit more money, as well as savory combinations. I overheard from a neighboring table that you can order a waffle with both whipped cream and ice cream. Where was this information when I was ordering? Oh well, next time. I would visit Älskade Traditioner again, but perhaps only for dessert. Alternatively I may try one of their savory options for a full meal.
