If you want to try a totally unique dining experience that will tantalize your taste buds, have a go at Smak pa (pronounced "Smahk") Restaurangen, one of Stockholm's best restaurants located at Oxtorgsgatan 14. What is chef-owner Melker Andersson's culinary inspiration? Combining international dish concepts that share an underlying taste theme, such as pepper, lime, coriander, or tamarind.
Reminiscent of an elegant tapas-bar experience, diners choose from 3, 5, or 7 small dishes, each revolving around a different flavor exploration. Ordering drinks follows the same concept.
If you're coming to eat at night, be prepared. The hip Scandanavian eatery surrenders to a crowded bar, and on weekends transforms into a hot nightclub. So do as the Romans do…or rather, the Swedes. They dress up for nightlife and dress codes tend to be strict. Reservations are recommended.
Prices: 300SEK ($60/£30) for a 3-course menu; 400SEK ($80/£40) for the 5-course menu, and 475SEK ($95/£48) for a 7-course menu.
Hours Mon-Fri 11:30am-2pm; Mon-Sat 5pm-midnight
