What you'll do

Discover some of the city’s best-loved dishes, from Baltic herring served with a variety of sides like creamy mash potato and lingonberries, to more surprising favorites, like kebab pizza. As an alternative to meatballs, you could try isterband korv, a lightly smoked, sour pork sausage.

And as every Stockholmare knows, fika is a must, and your host will share with you how this ritual of slowing down with coffee and cake is truly part of the culture. You could try arraksbollar, a treat of liquor-soaked cake that’s rolled in chocolate sprinkles.

But if beer sounds more your style than coffee, your host will have a few trendy micro-breweries and gastro-pubs up their sleeve, where you can taste local brews along with a real smörgåsbord of nibbles!

Where you’ll go

Your local insider will share the food secrets of Vasastan, a cozy neighborhood that has held onto its residential feel, having sneaked just north of the tourist radar. Explore cobblestone streets flanked by old-world architecture, and dip into the charming cafes which are dotted around Odenplan and St Eriksplan.

But don’t discount the hustle and bustle of Gamla Stan, the medieval island city in the very heart of Stockholm - you’d miss out on one of Stockholm’s best food secrets if you did. This is where you’ll find Strömmingsvagnen, the Baltic herring food truck that’s been around since way before food trucks were trendy!

Or, you could even head south to hip Södermalm, where countless micro-breweries await - after all, beer is food.

    Loved my guide. Very smart and chatty. Her keenness was infectious. She is very knowledgeable being able to answer questions without an issue. Was supposed to be a foodie tour but turned more into a Stockholm history tour. Worried me not. I had a great time.

    I came to Stockholm more to meet the locals and see the area, not so much the tourist scene. Whilst the locals are happy to help they're a little stand'ish. Monika was quite the opposite. Very willing to share her knowledge of Stockholm and many other countries as she's been to many. I found her insights very useful. Every moment of my time on this tour was more enjoyable than I had hoped for. When I get home I'm going to make sure my son knows what he missed out on. I highly commend Monika
