Me and my Swede love a bargain. We also like to eat out at nice restaurants. Adds value to our quality time, gives me a break from cooking and him from cleaning up, and we like to try new places.

Enter the Taste Sverige and the Taste Stockholm card. I bought the card for half price from either Groupon, Let’s Deal, or Your Deal (I can’t remember which). With the Taste Stockholm card one can dine at 71 restaurants around Stockholm and receive various discounts including 2 for 1. The card is valid for 365 upon activation and you can eat in each restaurant one time. The price is 295 SEK.

Djurgårdsbrunn

We started our culinary tour by biking to Djurgårdbrunn in beautiful weather and dined Al Fresco.

Veal meatballs

We both ordered the veal meatballs and were served 12 each, in a brown reduction accompanied by almond mashed potatoes, lingon berries and pickles.

Almond mashed potatoes, lingon berries and pickles.

Neither of us could finish our meatballs so I asked to take them home. I wasn’t the only one in the restaurant who couldn’t finish their portions as I saw other doggie bags being produced.

Djurgårdsbrunn restaurant

We rate the Djurgårdsbrunn restaurant a good value for money as the service was good, the atmosphere extremely pleasant and the food portions were generous. If you can’t bike there you can take the bus, I believe number 69. I can also imagine just taking a cold drink and sitting in the lawn chairs that face the park and watching the occasional boat go by.

And on the way home we watched the hot air balloons take off from Gärdet.
