There’s much more to Swedish food than smorgasbord, and Stockholm abounds in fashionable restaurants with enticing menus, rivaling those of any European capital city. The restaurant scene in Stockholm is known for its wide selection of dining options, high standards, and professional service. The city puts its very best face forward in restaurants where the food, the ambience, and the attractive clientele all compete for your attention.
Creative menus in often hip, modern locations are on offer in the many gay-friendly restaurants that have sprung up all around the city, such as Göken and Mälarpaviljongen . In Södermalm's fashion district Sofo Roxy is a lesbian-run restaurant/lounge.
