The best restaurants Sweden

Timetable

The schedules of the Swedish meals are rather different from those of France. At noon, we eat from 11am to 1pm, and often a light meal. Dinner is served from 5pm, and most Swedes have finished eating before 6pm in winter! Most bars and restaurants are however open every day and will serve you food outside of these hours.

Budget & Tips

You should expect to pay at least 10 euros for a meal, even on the run. For something a little more elaborate, prices are around 20-30 euros.

What costs extra

Water and bread are served at the table, as in France, free of charge.

Tipping. In hotels, restaurants and cafés, service is included, so there is no need to tip. Of course, it's a good idea to round up the bill, but again, it's up to you to judge the service you receive.

Taxes. In Sweden, prices are quoted inclusive of tax. It is very rare to be charged an additional cost without being clearly informed in advance.

Kids

Children are welcome everywhere and often there is a menu for them.

Smokers

It is not a good life for smokers in Sweden. Although tobacco is relatively cheap, smoking is not allowed in public spaces, either indoors or outdoors! So forget about smoking on the terrace of bars or cafes. If you want to smoke, you will have to leave your table and go to the smoking area (if there is one), or simply go to the sidewalk in front of you. No exception is made for electronic cigarettes.
