Ooooh, this place is fantastic! I've lived nearby for nearly two years and to be honest I only made…read moremy first venture inside recently - because, well, it looks expensive. And yeah, a lot of it is expensive - naturally; it's an Italian delicacy store. But it's so splendid! Although it's a tiny shop, it's remarkable how much they have packed into it. Bottles and bottles and bottles of deluxe olive oil, balsamic vinegar, tapenade, artichoke paste, pasta, biscuits, and so much more. They also have some fresh vegetables and even skin products like body butter. But the focus is definitely on food, as it should be. If I wanted to make a delicious Italian homemade meal (and who doesn't?) this is definitely where I stop. You can sample everything as well - when I went there were several bowls and bits of bread already out available for dipping in oils and vinegars, and the woman there said just to ask if we wanted to try anything else. She's very friendly, helpful, and talkative, and has some of the best customer service and most upbeat, cheerful attitude I've met in Swedish employees. It seems to be a family-run business, and they travel to Italy themselves to handpick the items - you can tell there's a lot of passion and knowledge that goes into running the store. Simply splendid! As I mentioned, it can be quite pricey, but they have such a variety that the prices of course vary as well - you can definitely find something that suits your taste and budget. Plus they have rainbow-striped pasta - my personal favourite just for fun!

When it comes to a culinary adventure, it can be difficult to tell whether or not a feeling of…read morefamiliarity is a good sign. At times it suggests that a concept is overdone or unoriginal, and at other times that familiarity strikes us at a more profound level -- as if we've been there before in a past life, or as if there's something there that feels like home. I was lucky to find this feeling at a stunning café nestled into the greenery of Djurgården in southern Stockholm, a beacon of warmth and light amidst the afternoon chill. My traveling companion and I had spent the morning perusing the vast collections at Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde, finding ourselves enchanted by the glorious staterooms and the expertly curated painting exhibitions. It's a known fact that museums always tend to make me hungry, and so after exploring the grounds I was just about ready for something to nibble on. By this point in my Swedish adventure, fika had become the most cherished hour (or several) of the day. From cardamom buns to princess cake, I had become fully absorbed in this tradition and was fully committed to incorporating it into my life back in the States. While the simplest translation is "a coffee break," for my traveling companion and I had had become so much more -- an invitation to unwind, to take refuge from the Swedish cold, and perhaps most importantly, to indulge a little. This stunning spot came at a recommendation of a friend of mine who had studied in Copenhagen for a semester and ended up here on a class trip. Luckily, this friend has impeccable taste. Rooted in (pun intended) community, Rosendals Trädgård is a veritable jack-of-all trades. From producing many of their own ingredients on site to serving treats and hearty fare alike, there is so much that this place gets right. To get to the café you walk past a series of plots alive in the soil, wondering what grows there and who planted it. When you reach the café you find that it's a real greenhouse, steeped in sunlight and awash in a rich sea of blues. It's beautiful on the outside, and even more gorgeous on the inside. Something about the self-serve style setup made me feel like I was at a friend's house for tea, contributing to the delightfully homey feel that had seeped into every corner of the abode. I sampled a couple of cookies from the buffet, and my dining companion did the same. When we took our seats, we found that each bite left us feeling warm and comforted despite the nip of Swedish spring beyond the walls of the greenhouse. It was a simple meal, an afternoon pick-me-up, yet it seemed to fill us up in spirit the same way a four-course meal would have filled our bellies. For a plate full of something that feels like home even if you're thousands of miles away from your own, Rosendals Trädgård is an immaculate refuge. Just like the plants that grow on its grounds, you'll find yourself feeling cherished and tended to. What more can we ask of a meal? Read more reviews at letsgetdinner8.wordpress.com.

This place is a short walk from the tram and it's worth the trek after visiting Vasa museum or…read moreSkansen. The walk is absolutely gorgeous and it makes you feel as if you're stepping into an oasis away from Stockholm. They had some Christmas decorations up and a tree, so it felt very festive, even if most of the trees were bare for winter. I loved the meal setup -- there were some quick bites available to grab, as well as pastries, and there were dishes you could order. I got an Asian slaw sandwich and a saffransbulle (LOVE these). I also opted for one of their flavored hot teas, because it was cold in Stockholm in November! The food was great in the cafe, but even better was the plant shop next door! They had Christmas ornaments for sale, as well as lots of handcrafted items and lots of plants. Definitely worth a visit!
