After years hearing people talk about Berns it was finally time for me to take a peak and I tell…read moreyou I was not disspointed! Berns is beautifully located close to strandvägen and has waterfront, a short walking distance from the best nightclubs in Sthlm (see my review of Soap Bar, Solidaritet). The building was finished 1863 and can hold up to 1200 people and thay have enough dancefloors for everyone! The moment I walked in to the "Stora Salongen" my mind went back to Vegas, this is the closest thing you can come to a big exclusive club as the ones in the US! They have everything I expect from a great club, a cool lightshow for you to go crazy at and enough dancefloors for everyone! Along the sides you have enough bars for an army and they have a big terrace were you can mingel or cool yourself of after hours of shufflin! The building itself is beautiful and the "Stora Salongen" reminds you of a royalpalace! I will be going here again and it's defiently the place to end the night out at!

I was here for a brunch on a Sunday, which starts at 11:30. The brunch is a bit pricey, when I was…read morethere it was 325 SEK per person excluding drinks, but you get a great selection of oysters, sushi and other Asian food. If you're vegetarian and don't eat fish, you won't find much here. The sushi was surprisingly good, although other courses were merely okay. The desserts were great and plentiful. Make sure to make a reservation - while they sometimes can accomodate a party of two without reservations, you'll have a wait. Parties larger than 2 people should definitely make a reservation.

The staff is very friendly and happy to help with whatever it is you're looking for. Most of the staff speaks very good English to assist the wayward travelers. Genuinely could t have picked a better place to spend an afternoon.

We stopped by this cafe today on our visit to Vaxholm and while the signs and many reviews said…read morethis was a must visit, I would say it might be more for the ambiance than the food. It was very crowded and so hot today. The cakes and sweets are all sitting out on a table like a buffet in the heat and while the idea is nice, it is all situated close to the bathroom. If you have the time, it is a nice location but I would not say it is a must visit.

I'm still not sure how to describe this place except to state that it's something of a hybrid…read morebetween an arts center and a shopping mall. At the same time, it really gives you a concentrated flavor of the Swedish modern design style most of us know only through trips to Ikea. It stands in a central area of Stockholm south of Sergels torg where the big, elliptical plaza sits with the geometric, black-and-white triangle design, a most arresting sight seen from the building's windows (photo: http://bit.ly/2aFTOud). If neither big Viking ships nor an ABBA tribute is your cup of tea, then I'd say this is a good place to chill during the day. A good portion of the center is devoted to performance venues like the Stockholm City Theatre, the Hörsalen lecture hall or the more club-like Kilen where young stand-up comedians perform. On the fourth floor is a children's library called Rum för Barn, where kids can hang and read books or listen to storytellers on kid-friendly couches. There's also a comic book library called Serieteket. Jamie W. and I strolled through the Design Museum which showed unique artifacts that gave way to bigger design trends (photo: http://bit.ly/2aWbJ0f). We were also particularly fascinated by an area devoted strictly to serious chess players (photo: http://bit.ly/2b24T9T). Definitely worth a stop.

Spontaneity brought me to Paul's. I (luckily) live close by and knew that Haymarket had recently…read moreopened to the public. Hungry and curious, I decided on a whim to check it out. The restaurant is on the first floor. I climbed the red carpeted stairs to the right and was instantly greeted by the menu and a waitress. The decor is posh and trendy. The atmosphere has a great city vibe. Even on a Tuesday, the restaurant was quite full. Prices can go from 150-300kr a person, depending how hungry you are. Regardless of what you order, a complementary basket of breads and butter is served. The food took around 20-25 minutes from order-to-table. Judging from the food freshness, quality, taste to the attentive service and cool ambiance, Paul's has really made a strong first impression. I can't wait to go back and try other delicious dishes, because that menu has nothing I wouldn't like to eat.
