10 Top Hot Dog Stands in Stockholm
There are a number of fantastic healthy eating places in Stockholm and it is a city that loves a good salad, as well all manner of different pickled vegetables. However, there is a less healthy item that many Stockholmers could not live without—the humble hot dog. This means that there are a number of places in the city that provide excellent and high-quality hot dogs. There are humble gatukoks (street kitchens) spread out across the city where you can grab a grilled or broiled hotdog that will match up against any other food you can get in Stockholm. Here are ten of the best places to grab a hotdog, whether its 2 a.m. on a Friday night or 10 a.m. on a Monday morning.
1. Arengrillen
Restaurant, Food Kiosk, Swedish, Fast Food, Street Food, Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten-free
2. Harakiri korven helldog
If regular hot dogs just can’t cut it for you then Harakiri korven helldog is the place for you. They have both a shop and a van from which they sell a range of exciting and unusual hot dogs that are famed for their intense flavors and heat. It is a place to go if you want something a little different and more exciting than a regular gatukok. In fact, they have the world’s hottest hot dog that was once served at the Nobel Prize banquet—quite an honor for the humble hot dog. You can find them in Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s old town. Just remember to buy a drink to soothe your mouth!

3. Pressbyrån
Not strictly a hot dog stand, Pressbyrån is rather a massive chain of convenience stores which sell everything from magazines to toothbrushes to milk. For many though, their most exciting offering is their hot dogs, which are a feature of every one of their stores. If you want a hot dog on the way back from work, before a trip on the metro, or if you would just like to pick up a pint of milk and a hot dog at the same time, then Pressbyran is the place to go. They have a wide range of hot dogs including vegan hot dogs, chicken hot dogs, and el diablo—a spicy sausage. At Christmas you can even get one where the bread is replaced by a saffron bun, a classic Swedish yuletide treat.

4. Mormors Lilla Kok
“Grandma’s little kitchen” is located right by Stockholm’s South Station in hipster Sodermalm and it serves a range of different foods, including hot dogs. It is a charming little shop with a window you can order at if you are in a rush. It has great hamburgers, as well as a range of vegetarian options, but it is their hot dogs which are the real stars. They have a lunch offer where you can pick up any of their hot dogs and a drink for a very reasonable price as well as gluten-free bread for any coeliac who still want to enjoy a good dog.

6. Bruno’s Korvbar
As with Grandma’s little kitchen, Bruno’s Korvbar is in Sodermalm and has a superb range of different sausages to delight in, and its colorful owner, Bruno, is one of the main reasons to go. He is always happy and clearly loves what he does, which somehow makes the food taste even better. You can get all different varieties, from beef to pork to chicken, as well as a handful of vegetarian options. It is a shop, as opposed to a stand, but it is so small that you will likely have to find somewhere outside to eat it.With the lovely Mariatorget square just minutes away, the perfect place to enjoy it is just around the corner.

Günters
Günter prides himself on having a variety of hot dogs from all around the world in his small little kiosk—in fact, he has twenty-five different countries covered on his menu, including Argentinian chorizo, Hungarian kabanos, and German wurst. Günters is a classic neighborhood place that has both regulars and people just passing by. It is up in the north of the city near Vasaparken, giving you a great place to enjoy your hot dog. All of his hot dogs are 42 centimeters, which is over a foot long, making them of excellent value.

8. Ostermalms Korvspecialist
Ostermalm is known for being one of the more upmarket areas of Stockholm, so Ostermalm Korvspecialist’s simple street kitchen might seem out of place, but is has been around since 1992 and is both family owned and well known. It was listed in a book called 100 for 100, about places chefs like to eat at. They work with Bruno’s Korvbar and have become sister shops, meaning what you can get at one place you can usually get at the other.
