Itinerary
Your culinary journey begins in Skanstull, the southern gateway to Södermalm. Once an industrial area, it has evolved into a lively district where tradition meets modern city life. We stroll along Götgatan, a bustling street lined with boutiques, cafés, and local businesses. Our first stop is a family-run seafood shop with over 60 years of history, where we sample delicacies and learn about Sweden’s rich fishing traditions. As we move through trendy SoFo, we visit hand-picked restaurants and specialty shops offering everything from artisanal cheeses and cured meats to both traditional and modern Swedish dishes. Along the way, we explore the area’s history, culture, and culinary heritage. Our journey concludes at a renowned chocolate atelier, where handcrafted pralines, pastries, and cakes have been made for almost 30 years. We finish with a Swedish fika, enjoying handmade confections and rich hot chocolate—a sweet ending to our flavorful walk through Södermalm.

Had a great food tour with Kristen. Got to try lots of great food including all the classics that I was hoping to hit. Good pace and never boring. Couldn’t endorse this more!
Kristen is a wonderful guide. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The food stops were amazing. You will not be hungry at the end of the tour. Highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed.
This was by far one of our best experiences in Stockholm, and well worth the price. We couldn't have asked for a better guide (Kristin). She was knowledgeable, took time to make sure everyone was keeping up, and if you asked a question, she would address the answer to the whole group. The stops were all excellent, even if the last one - Olikemi - had food far too spicy for us. Plenty to eat, and the various shopkeepers were all very welcoming and seemed genuinely pleased to see us and tell us about Swedish food and culture
Great experience - a nice way to learn about Swedish food and some of Stockholm’s history. Would recommend going on an empty stomach.
Every time we travel somewhere new, I look for a food tour. So glad we got in on this one at the last minute, this may be the best I’ve ever done!! Kristen was so knowledgeable about the food, the neighborhoods, and the history! The food was so amazing, I didn’t leave a single bite behind (but also couldn’t eat for the rest of the day)—it was a lot of food, and drink pairings! Worth every penny, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
"Tack så mycket," Becky, for your lovely review and recommendation. We are thrilled that you thought the food was amazing and that you enjoyed learning about Swedish food and the SOFO neighborhood, plus a little history too. Also, thank you for mentioning that you found the tour to be good value for money.
Trip was cancelled only 45 minutes before the start time with no explanation. Just setting out to walk there and saw the cancellation email. Very poor and would not trust booking with this company in future when on a short break away
Dear Lindsay, We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Having a tour cancelled at such short notice must have been very frustrating. However, it appears that you have confused us with another tour operator. We almost never cancel a tour and have never done so with less than 48 hours’ notice. This cancellation was not made by Food Tours Stockholm. We therefore kindly ask you to remove the review, as it does not relate to our company or any of our tours. Feel free to contact me at info@foodtoursstockholm.se or +46 10 160 02 80 if you would like to clarify anything or have any questions. Best regards, Fredrik Food Tours Stockholm
Unbelievable experience! They were super knowledgeable, communicative, and curated the tour to accommodate me as a vegetarian who doesn’t eat mushrooms. I learned a ton about the culture and had so much fun! Amelia was amazing
Dear Margo, Thank you for your amazing review and photos! How delightful to know that you appreciated your tour with Amelia, the communication, and adjustments made for a food restriction. We encourage guests to do as you did and check with us (Food Tours Stockholm via Viator or TripAdvisor) about allergies and restrictions in advance, so we can do our best to adjust the tastings.
Great tour to familiarize yourself with the local food. Oliver was very friendly and knowledgeable. My family and I enjoyed tasting all the different foods and drinks while learning a bit of history as well.
We are so glad to hear that the whole family enjoyed all the different tastings to familiarize yourselves with the local food while learning a bit of history on your tour with Oliver. Thank you for taking the time to write your five-star review!
We really enjoyed our guided food tour in Stockholm. Kristen is an exceptional guide, very enthusiastic! There were 6 stops along the way. Our favorites were the herring, the chocolate and the MEATBALLS! This is a fun way to experience Stockholm. Highly recommend!
