L: I often find myself wandering around town looking for a cosy cafe where I can sit down and have a chat with a friend.  Yesterday I was out with C, and we decided to try out the cafe at the top of Kulturhuset (the Culture House).  It’s on the fifth floor and during summer they have open air seating on the roof.  Lovely on a warm sunny day. 

The cafe offers an assortment of sweets, sandwiches, salads, and a few main courses.  The coffee and sweets looked nice, but were a bit on the pricey side.  Normal coffee or tea is 25 kr.  Coffee and a piece of cake is around 50-60 kr.  The main courses are a great deal though.  Most cost around 100 kr.  I chose the beef with chevre and honey dressing for 120 kr, including salad and coffee.  C took the gazpacho.

My food was very nice, though the red honey sauce looked misleadingly spicy it was just sweet and honey flavored.  The only disappointment was that the meat was cooked through.  It was a real shame because it would have been absolutely perfect if they had just left it pink in the middle.  It was still outstanding for the price though.  It’s not many places in Stockholm where one can eat a lovely piece of beef for dinner at that price.  C pronounced her gazpacho satisfactory, though with a bit much parsley.

All in all we were very satisfied with the food and the place was nice.  There is a view, but it’s not the nicest in the city.  One sees the rooftops around Sergelstorg and the glass fountain is a bit closer than usual, but it’s not spectacular. 

Summary: Highly recommended for those visiting Kulturhuset (which everyone should do).  Nice food at reasonable prices.  Coffee and sweets are a bit more expensive.
