Last weekend Sara had a free day off from work so we decided to go and have brunch Greasy Spoon in Södermalm, Stockholm. We had to queue for a little while which wasn't great because it started to snow. Once we got in we weaved our way through the abundance of filled tables to our spot and one look at the menu confirmed that anything you had ever dreamed of for brunch you could get right here. The interior is filled with lots of references to the United Kingdom with the wallpaper being a map of London and toilets having pictures of Kate Moss, Ab Fab Duo Patsy and Edina and The Queen. I would definitely recommend ordering Mimosa cocktail or a Bloody Mary, it’s a perfectly drink to accompany your brunch and start your weekend. We ordered different things on the menu; I went for the Full English breakfast which in my opinion was a filling and tasty breakfast/brunch option. Sara had the Full Vegan Breakfast which was one her best vegan breakfast and could have ordered a second.

Overall Greasy Spoon had a great atmosphere and a really varied menu, and in my opinion, the food did really live up to the hype (or the queue), and it’s an exciting place to visit for something different to do on a Saturday morning as breakfast is definitely more fun with friends.

Have any of you ever visited Greasy Spoon? What did you guys think?

Last week Reggie, Kalere, Sara and I went on an Archipelago Dinner Cruise in Strandvägen, Central Stockholm. We were greeted by the captain as we boarded the ship and then we were directed to our seats. Once  seated we were greeted by the lovely Rox, who gave us a breakdown of the menu and what was in the dishes.

The boat was straight out of a film with beautiful cedar wood with decor that a close connection with the Swedish grace style from the Nordic Classicism era from 1910 into the 1930s.

All four of us ordered different things on the menu; I went for the Roast Chicken with roasted vegetables. I have to say this was the  best roast chicken I have had in Stockholm so far. Sara had a Tomato salad for Starter and Pea Fritter for her Main and Kalere & Reggie had the Smoked Salmon for their main.

Overall Archipelago Dinner Cruise had a great atmosphere and a really varied menu. In my opinion, the food was okay,  but the view through Stockholm at night was fantastic. This was an exciting way to enjoy an evening meal with friends.

Have any of you ever taken The Archipelago Dinner Cruise? What did you guys think?

So today I took a trip to Hornsgatan, Södermalm on a lovely sunny day in Stockholm. Why Hornsgatan you ask… well, I have been dying for some really good tea since I moved to Stockholm and I’d heard of the Tea Centre before and this was definitely one of the places I was most looking forward to checking out when Sara and I arrived in Stockholm.
