Everything that is good to eat can be found in the city's large covered market. A must-see place not to be missed!

Founded in 1923, the Kringlan bakery has always made a point of using the best quality raw materials. For a century, it has supplied many hotels and restaurants with breads, pastries and cakes, and also has a charming little café with just over a dozen seats in the Östermalm district. It's the perfect place for a tasty fika in a neat setting: black ceiling and immaculate walls with china plates and other artifacts hanging from them that give the feeling of being in a small box.

This bakery lives up to its name - it's a nugget! The pastries are just... incredible! Inside, a minimalist style with terrazzo tables, a touch of wood and pretty black banquettes. You'll find French classics and Swedish pastries like kanelbullar or semla when in season. It's also a good spot for a quick lunch break, with a wide range of sandwiches on offer. And to top it all off, Léon, the owners' dog and little mascot, is a real treat.

All their breads are baked in the large stone oven that struts in the middle of the bakery. They offer gourmet pastries and serve fika for an afternoon in the neighborhood. Right next to the trains, it's a convenient address to grab a snack in a hurry. They also have a great selection of sandwiches and salads. Come here for breakfast, lunch or coffee, open every day of the week. For an average budget.
