It can be tricky to find great breakfast & lunch places in the city centre sometimes, but this place always work. With its central location right on Hötorget you can always stop here for a break. Food is fresh and it’s a good crowd. Good for business meetings too. Part of Haymarket and they have one more restaurant and hotel in the same building.

City advice
Don't miss
Just a few min walk to beautiful Djurgården.
Djurgården is a must for anyone travelling to Stockholm for the first time. An island in the heart of the city with a lot of things to see and do. We have Skansen (animal park), Gröna Lund (fun fare park with concerts) lots of museums, cafes and restaurants.

A few min walk you access the charming tram on beautiful Strandvägen and it takes you all the way to the city center in about 5 min (Sergels Torg or Central Station)
Getting around
Underground
1 min walk you access Karlaplan underground station (2 stops from central station)
