The Cuisine of Stockholm

Toast Skagen

Shrimp salad, caviar, and dill on a piece of toast. Toast Skagen is a Swedish delicacy that you may find on nearly any restaurant menu. It is usually a main course but can sometimes be an appetizer or shared snack. I never skip this meal on any visit, and I wouldn't want you to miss out.

Herring

One of the most traditional cultural experiences you could try out in Stockholm is a herring restaurant. These outings are very social and you typically try out a variety of herring, sauces, sides, and breads paired with the perfect shot of Vodka. It is unique, delicious, and a blast to do in a group.

Princess Cake

This traditional Swedish dessert contains layers of airy sponge cake, pastry cream, raspberry jam, and marzipan. It is traditionally had on birthdays or celebrations. The cake is typically green or pink in color with an edible rose on top. Try it from a local bakery!
