If you're visiting Stockholm, chances are you want to try Swedish food. The real kind, not just tourist versions. There are still plenty of places that do it properly.
Pelikan on Södermalm is a classic for traditional dishes like meatballs and herring, and it's been popular with locals for generations. In Gamla Stan, Den Gyldene Freden has been around since the 1700s and is one of the few historic restaurants that still holds up.
I keep places like these on EatStockholm so visitors can experience Swedish food without guessing.
