Tapas for dinner

Staying on Gamla Stan, we are spoilt for choice for dinner. There are many Italian restaurants, and interesting Swedish restaurants where you can order reindeer or moose steak as well as dishes like meatballs, gravlax and smoked fish. Tonight we decided on Tapas at a lovely little place about 150 metres from our apartment. Being a Saturday, night we decided to eat earlier to avoid the crowds.

We had a lovely assortment of dishes including, beetroot carpaccio with goats cheese and salted almonds, beef sliders, calamari, chicken skewers, garlic mushrooms, beef with a whiskey sauce, and garlic bread. Ian continues to sample the Swedish beer and I had a mojito followed by a lovely Tempranillo from Rioja - everything was fabulous.

We then strolled around the old town, mainly to get my steps up, as we spent much of the day sitting on the boat and it is a very European thing to do - so ‘when in Rome’ I mean Stockholm!Read more
