Akkurat

Popular since the Nineties

Glenn Miller Café

Mussels and music

Don't miss the mussels at Glenn Miller Café, arguably the town's most iconic jazz club. Live jazz is performed several times a week, and has been for many years. Emerging musicians and well-known international stars alike have entertained the jazz lovers in the audience. The menu features a variety of French dishes, so moules frites is a must-order and comes in several different varieties.

Musslan

An obvious choice

Musslan has been a bar and seafood restaurant to reckon with since 1996. They serve several mussel dishes - as well as the classics such as marinières and à la crème there are also flavour combinations such as lime, lemongrass and chili or mussels with chèvre. Mussels are also served at their sister restaurant Wasahof right next door.

Belgobaren

Belgian theme

It's all about Belgian style at Belgobaren, from the interiors to the food and drinks. Despite the theme, organic Swedish mussels from the west coast are served, but the flavours and composition are still Flemish. Provençale, Trappist, Pepparrot, Morney... the mussels here come in masses of flavour variations, but they're all cooked with white wine, celery, onions, garlic, leeks, carrots and thyme and served with pommes frites.

Food halls

Fiskeläget

Traditional and innovative

On the ground floor of Hötorgshallen you'll find these third generation fishmongers. As well as ready-prepared food and catering they're well known for their fantastic food counter and fresh fish to take home. If you're eating in, try Fiskelägets Moules, a speciality with both traditional and innovative flavours.
