My pick: “Fem Sma Hus”, Nygarnd, Stockholm, Sweden
Category: Dinner
Occasion: Celebrating a Win!
Why: “Fem Sma Hus (five little houses) is located in Gamla Stan on Nygrand, a narrow alley just off Skeppsbron. It occupies a series of arched brick cellars which get lower and more atmospheric as you go deeper - some are well below water level. The restaurant is very popular, especially with tourists, and it is pretty essential to book - even then, you may have to queue for a short time. The food is traditional Swedish, with dishes such as Gravadlax and reindeer, in reasonable-sized portions. Wines are available at prices to suit most budgets, as well as a good selection of aquavit. The cooking was perfectly competent and the service helpful. In summary, worth a visit for traditional Swedish food.”
