Where do we come from? Where are we going? Why do so many Swedish guys wear pointy leather shoes? Some mysteries will remain unsolved. But others won't. Like: where can I get the best chocolate in Sweden?
Easily, 'ChokladFabriken' (the chocolate factory) is the best place to go for freshly made chocolates, and everything chocolate related, from cakes to organic cocoa to yummy hot chocolate. The coffee is smooth, but strong, so be prepared.
These guys opened a few years ago, defying a swedish trend to outsource everything and stop using their hands at work. They have won just about each and every award in the competitive but delicious world of chocolate making. Their store looks pretty good, too. It's modern and clean, without being minimalistic or cold.
So, as far as 'where are we going?' I'm going to Choklad Fabriken. That's a mystery I'm willing to solve..

I don't think Stockholm has a strong eating out tradition. It might be the cold, some old socialist thing, I dunno. Thankfully that is all changing. Younger people go out for lunch and dinner much more often than their parents.
In the last 5 years lots of casual, affordable restaurants and cafes have been popping up all over town. And that makes life a little more fun.
Chutney is one of my favorite vegetarian restaurants in the area. The food has eastern influences. From thai to indian curries and stews. It's very affordable, you can eat as much as you want to and it also works as an informal art gallery. This is the kind of place to go when you are really hungry. In the summer they take out a few tables to the sidewalk, so it's nice to sit out and enjoy the short but intense swedish summer. Chutney makes me happy, and being part of a new tradition, makes me even happier..
