The Nordic Experience Food Tour, Stockholm

The Food Tours Stockholm’s Nordic Experience Food Tour of Stockholm proved to be a delightful journey filled with gastronomic wonders. My only concern was how to pace myself food-wise throughout the day. Ultimately, I opted for a late breakfast, complemented with a cup of coffee and a small muffin at lunchtime. Little did I know that this decision would prove wise, as the tour treated us to an incredible array of delicacies.

We embarked on our culinary adventure at Hötorgshallen, a vibrant food market located in the heart of the city. There, we relished in a variety of mouthwatering sausages, cheeses, a Finnish rice cake, brown bear, herring, and salmon, accompanied by refreshing water, beer, and Aquavit.

Throughout the tour, we explored a diverse selection of food venues, including charming food shops, inviting restaurants, and cozy cafes. One standout highlight was the delightful organic and fresh gelato from Stikki Nikki, a small yet impressive gelato chain in Stockholm.

Our adventure culminated in a relaxing fika experience—tea, in my case—inside a historic building that exuded a captivating “dungeon-like” ambiance.

The camaraderie within the tour group was delightful, comprising locals and international guests from the United States, Singapore, and myself. The group size was deliberately limited to twelve participants, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience. Our exceptional guide, Gunilla, was a treasure trove of food knowledge and passion. Her friendly demeanor and delightful sense of humor added an extra layer of enjoyment to the tour.

On Sunday, I’m going on another food tour from this group which I’m looking forward to very much, given today’s experience.
