Brunch in Stockholm – What’s open and what’s closed this summer?
Open or closed this summer?
I tried and tried and tried to find a place to enjoy brunch last Sunday. Unfortunately most restaurants in Stockholm either shut down completely during the summer, or they stop serving brunch. Crazy considering summer is prime time for tourism.
Lost in Stockholm has a nice little post about which restaurants are closed this summer and The Stockholm Tourist also has a list of Michelin star restaurants that are closed during the summer.
Inspired by them, here’s my list of Brunch restaurants that are open this summer! (as well as a list of places that are closed, with re-opening dates) Read the rest of this entry »

Groupon finally released their iPhone app to the Swedish market earlier this week. And as I’ve bought brunch specials from them before, it got me thinking… What other iPhone (and Android) apps are there that are handy for someone that likes brunch (and lunch and dinner and bars and cafés)?
Well, here is a list of our top 5 used apps to help us discover brunches, and cities better. Do you agree? Do you disagree? Let us know below!

A Non-Traditional Midsummer
Midsummer sunset
Let’s get one thing straight from the start. I’m not Swedish, I just happen to live in Stockholm. I’m from Finland. My boyfriend is from Australia. Midsummer is part of my culture and my boy friend has embraced it with open arms.
Having said that, we don’t spend midsummer dancing around a maypole pretending to be small frogs. We’ve got our own traditions that involve Champagne and BBQ. No sill allowed!
