One of my dreams when moving to Europe was finding a local butcher to buy all my meats. Lucky me--I…read morefound one in Stockholm!!! We've gotten the small meat box a few times and they're always great, packaged in nice portions. Sometimes things are vacuum sealed, other times just in a plastic bag--but always sealed with a label of what it is. Sausages (~140-180kr/kg) and minced beef (100kr/kg) are amazingly fresh and flavorful. If you want to try the meat pies, the beef and smoked bacon one was quite quite tasty. Chicken breasts are of great quality; onion/bacon/beef burgers delicious. Love the steaks too. We've gotten a whole cornfed chicken from France once (125kr/kg) and the meat was tender and super flavorful. Carcass made an amazing soup. Basically everything we've gotten there has been fresh and excellent. We got the cooked ham to glaze during Xmas, and it was the best ham I think I've ever had. They didn't have hams less than 2kgs, but nonetheless took the time to open a prepackaged one and slice the amount I asked for (then vacuum seal it for me!). If you're looking for other English/Australian things, you can find Cadbury chocolates, Vegemite and other things. Staff are always helpful at the store, even by email they are quite efficient. Prices are reasonable for the quality you get. If you're looking for something they don't have, they encourage you to call in ahead of time so they can order it for you. Highly, highly recommend this butcher!

A neighborhood butcher in Kungsholmen, these guys hail from Ireland and have impressed upon the Swedes what good, quality, and local meats are. The quality of the meat is outstanding, and the service was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Most importantly, they understand the importance of locally grown meats, and they provide many options to their very loyal clientele, including meat boxes which provide a diverse selection of fresh meat, on a regular basis, delivered to your door at incredible prices (far more affordable than ICA or any other supermarket in Stockholm). You're doing yourself, your health, your community, your environment, and the future of the food industry a disservice by not buying all your meat here.

Mon Dieu! This store is a nice addition to Söder: French artisan cheeses! Just what my soul, but…read moreperhaps not always what my waist needed. They have a great variety of cheeses (100 their website says) of all kinds; hard, soft, creamy, tasty, mild, smelly, or with a lovely bouquet. You can pick one, two, or go wild and get a cheese platter - or build your your own. The staff is really good at helping you find the right type(s) for your palate!

If you are from Stockholm, you probably know about this fantastic place…read more If you are from out of town, listen up. Hammarstrom's makes the most amazing herring on the planet. * * * Hammarstrom's is a herring and other good stuff store in Sodermalm. They have cheeses and bread and fish you can cook and other cooked fish delicacies. But they have made their justly deserved reputation on their herring. This is better than anything you can get at a restaurant or anything you could cook yourself in your Airbnb. Early in your stay, if you are in a place with a refrigerator, go to Hammarstrom's and buy a series of little packages of various flavors of herring. They sell fresh dill and dark bread to go on the side. If you want something else on the side, say fresh spinach or knackebrod (crispy flatbreads), there are two big supermarkets just around the corner Take this back to your apartment or room and make this your breakfasts and midnight snacks. Your days will start perfectly and end perfectly.
