It can be tricky to find great breakfast & lunch places in the city centre sometimes, but this place always work. With its central location right on Hötorget you can always stop here for a break. Food is fresh and it’s a good crowd. Good for business meetings too. Part of Haymarket and they have one more restaurant and hotel in the same building.

On 2nd floor you’ll find the restaurant Voltaire which is a great lunch spot. Can be a bit noisy but worth a visit if you’re in the building.
