Stockholm: The best restaurants for outdoor summer seating

The view from the Mosebeck Etablissement. Photo: Let Ideas Compete By Marcus Cederstrom— Swedes love the sun. It’s a horrible generalization and one that I have yet to find untrue. (I’m pretty sure it has to do with the many months of winter darkness.) So when summer rolls around, Swedes celebrate, and it is one of the reasons that the Midsummer celebrations in Sweden are so fun. It’s also the reason the streets, parks and squares of Stockholm are filled with outdoor seating. It’s not hard to find outdoor seating during the summer months, as just about every restaurant will put out a few tables and chairs. However, certain areas are just better than the rest. Here are some of my favorite outdoor seating spots in Stockholm: Park benches (and restaurants) at Kungsträdgården Kungsträdgården (the Kings Garden) is a park in central Stockholm. As the name suggests, it was once the Royal Garden. Today it is filled with restaurants, cherry blossom trees, a large fountain and, of course, statues of old kings. There is even an ice skating rink during the winter months. But during the summer, the walkway along the park is lined with outdoor seating. Several restaurants and cafes offer dagens lunch (daily lunch) at a reasonable price and with a spectacular view of the park
