Hötorgshallen at Hötorget is the epitome of Stockholm cosmopolitan bustle. Roll down the escalator from Hötorget for a quick herring sandwich at Kajsas Fisk, a Turkish burger at Izmir or a juicy, spicy merguez sandwich with ratatouille at La Gazelle. Swedish specialties? Bondens Matbod. Seafood? Melanders.

Get yourself a bellyful of bargain basement Omega-3 at Strömmingskiosken near the metro stop at Slussen. You can munch on strömming (Baltic herring), fried or pickled on hard bread with mashed potatoes – straight from the counter of this fishy kiosk. Made to order and served fresh. Worth queuing for.
Östermalms Korvspecialist at Nybrogatan 55 is a tiny street stall, strategically located near Östermalmshallen, where every sausage lover’s darling, owner Bruno, serves-up 40 types of sausage with sauerkraut, good mustard and his must-have secret sauces. Regulars order the classic Coburger Berzelii, hot merguez or a German Thüringer weisswurst, stick it in a half baguette with extras and shamelessly devour. Roger that.
