A
Roxy
Laid-back but never short on chic, Roxy draws an erudite mix of lipstick lesbians, publishing types and Söder-style socialites, all smitten with modern-Med mains and tapas treats (think soy-marinated tuna with mango). Roll in some tango tunes, the odd brusque Spanish waitress, and all that’s missing is Frida Kahlo at the bar.

Mooncake
Stick a Hong Kong chef behind a wok and watch the crowds roll in. The inventive menu at this elegant Eastern hotspot includes crispy rösti crab and prawn cakes (Skr95) and the delicate drunken Szechuan duck with tamarind-chilli glaze (Skr237). It’s all sublime and complemented by discreet, near-perfect service.

Mathias Dahlgren
Chef Matthias Dahlgren is hot property and his namesake newcomer has foodies in a flutter. Set in the Grand Hôtel, it’s divided into three spaces: a luxe bar, Matbaren (Food Bar) for casual noshing, and the more formal Matsalen (Dining Room). The latter is where Dahlgren really delivers his tour de force: think organic foie gras terrine with mango, black sesame and black pepper, or fried apple with goat’s milk ice-cream, vanilla cream and rye bread, bowling over the critics. Book ahead.

Republik
Republik’s trés urbane bar was voted Stockholm’s best in 2006 (try a Gasper cocktail and you’ll see why), yet the ultimate indulgence here is the restaurant, where the vibe is suave, the staff clued-up and the French-influenced food scandalously good (the seared scallops with truffle risoni, jamón Serrano, romanesco and fennel dill will leave you with a post-dinner glow).

Esperanto
Hailed as the new Bon Lloc (a now-defunct restaurant renowned for its avant-garde cooking), award-winning Esperanto offers a five- or seven-course menu only (Skr855/995). While the servings are notoriously petite, creations like duck challandaise with blood orange curd and breadcréme served with liquorice and tangerine will leave you gratified. A culinary event; book weeks in advance.

Pontus!
Down Thai mojitos and super sushi at the trendy bar, or head one floor down for luxe dining at chi-chi circular booths. French and Swedish cooking fill out a menu with three themes: harvest, season, and caught. Chefs transform fair-trade, organic and local produce into the likes of boiled lobster with smoked Swedish duck, brioche and preserved plum. DJs spin records on weekends.

Bergamott
The three very cool French chefs in the kitchen don’t simply whip up to-die-for French-Italian dishes, they’ll probably deliver them to your table, talk you through the produce and guide you through the wine list. It’s never short of a convivial crowd, so it’s best to book, especially when jazz musicians drop in for a soulful evening jam.

Grill
Kick-started by culinary stars Melker Andersson and Danyel Couet, this outrageous restaurant-bar features differently themed spaces, from Miami art deco to AstroTurf garden party. The menu is a global affair, innovatively arranged by grill type. Vegetarians aren’t overlooked, service is casual and accommodating, and there’s a popular Sunday grill buffet (Skr295).

East
It was East that snapped Stockholm out of its lemon-chicken fixation. Years on, this eternally hip resto-bar still pulls in the punters for perfect Asian grub in Scandi-Jap surrounds. While the bar skills are patchy, the chefs, DJs and swimming piranhas will keep you snapping those chopsticks happily.

Östgöta Källaren
The regulars at this soulful pub-restaurant are a varied bunch; they range from pierced rockers to blue-rinse grandmas, all smitten with the dimly lit romantic atmosphere, amiable vibe and hearty Swedish, Eastern European and French-Med grub.

Rådhuskällaren
Tucked away in the city hall’s 16th-century barrel-vaulted cellar, Rådhuskällaren balances digestible prices with fusion fare like Cajun-blackened salmon with sautéed pak choi, mango and creamy potato cake.

Magnus & Magnus
A big hit with the VIPs, this ever-fashionable restaurant serves inspired Euro-fusion flavours. The summer courtyard (which comes complete with bar, DJs and different club nights from Wednesday to Monday) draws an ubercool crowd.

BK
Particularly heaving on Friday nights, BK peddles exotic tapas and mod mains like grilled elderflower-cured salmon with dill polenta and blanched summer vegetables. Food aside, BK is a winner with thirsty locals.

Kikkobar
Head here for Zen designer details with Japanese classics like tempura, spicier Southeast Asian numbers like tom yum soup, and the odd Western staple.
