Stockholm — Where We Ate & Drank
We ate at 14 restaurants and drank at Lucy's Flower Shop in Stockholm. Ekstedt cooks over birch fire, Sushi Sho serves omakase, and the Vasa Museum is worth the hype.
Stockholm in August was archipelago light and one unforgettable counter — Ekstedt cooks everything over birch fire and it's as good as the hype. The Vasa museum is the rare must-see that must be seen; Lucy's Flower Shop stirs the best drinks in Scandinavia from a basement.
We ate at 14 restaurants across the city, from AIRA's tasting menu to 800 Grader's slices, and stayed at the Grand Hôtel overlooking the harbor. Midsummer empties the city of Swedes; June–September fills it with reasons to visit.
