Good
Randy says: The salmon sandwich had good bread. It had lots of cream cheese — more than I care for. It had something like watercress on it which I thought was nice.

Jeff says: The moussaka was delicious with its bechamel sauce and vegetables. The Italian focaccia was grilled and also delicious with its mozerella cheese, zucchini, and mushrooms. Salads came with each lunch but were all iceberg with oil and vinegar dressing, although there were black and green olives which were nice. I thought the food was surprisingly good.

Randy says: The hot tea was a tea bag in hot water. The bags were circular in a circular wrapper. The wrappers were very hard to open. I went through about five of them before I could get one open without ripping the tea bag inside. I was not as impressed with this restaurant as Jeff was.

This octagonal hut said only "Café". Inside is a counter with gourmet sandwiches and pastas visible through the glass case. After ordering and receiving the food, tables can be found along the various sections that comprise the outer sides of the hut around the kitchen in the center, or outside in the plaza. It would be nice, however, if one or two of those sections were reserved for nonsmokers. We managed to find a table all the way around to where the seating dead ends by a back door which we propped open a little for fresh air (but not too much as it was a cold day). This is a good place to go for lunch when exploring Stockholm's central district with its transportation hub, department stores, hotels, restaurants, and theaters.
