Top 10 Delis In Stockholm

Stockholm is one of the culinary capitals of Northern Europe. There are all manner of restaurants to try in Sweden’s capital – including nine restaurants with Michelin stars!

However, if you are looking for something a little more low-key, and you don’t have time for a full sit-down meal, there are a number of brilliant delicatessens to try out. Whether you want a sandwich, a salad or something more exotic, you can find it in all Stockholm’s delis. Here are ten of the top choices.

Urban Deli

One of Stockholm’s best-loved and most-visited places to get lunch, Urban deli is a chain that looks to combine a restaurant, a café, a food hall and a supermarket. They have a similar ethos to Wholefoods (an American supermarket chain), aiming to serve only well-sourced and healthy products that are of the highest possible quality. In all of their locations you can pick up a range of pre-made lunches or buy your own ingredients and have a picnic. You can also grab a coffee or have lunch in their restaurant. Particularly worth visiting is their Sodermalm location, which is in the beautiful Nytorget, with a small park you can eat in, and their Sveavagen store has a roof terrace with breath-taking views!

The Hairy Pig Deli

Located in Stockholm’s Old Town, Gamla Stan, it is easy to find and in one of the most charming areas of the city.
