Gamla Stan, the historic Old Town of Stockholm, has restaurants to match its beautiful and picturesque streets. Pop into any of these for a gastronomical delight. From the traditional interiors of Den Gyldene Freden to the quirky and unusual offerings of The Pharmarium, there is something for everyone in our pick of the 10 best.

Den Gyldene Freden

Since opening in 1722, Den Gyldene Freden (The Golden Peace) have served authentic Nordic cooking in their rustic restaurant. Several dignitaries have eaten here in the past, and many continue to do so. Among these is The Swedish Academy, which convenes here every Thursday. The members drink from their personally numbered drinking glasses kept in a special glass cabinet. There are several amazing dishes to try, but the catch of the day is always a favourite.

1. Restaurant Kryp In

Restaurant, Swedish, European

For a traditionally Swedish, quiet meal, look no further than Restaurant Kryp In, tucked away in a little corner of Gamla Stan. The restaurant is small, low-ceilinged and cozy, perfect for an intimate evening out. A favourite is the grilled reindeer with the mashed potatoes and sundried lingonberries. Cocktails are served as well as food.
