Smak på Restaurangen is an ultra hip Stockholm restaurant where flavor reins king.

Admittedly, the ever-changing list of well-known DJs guest spinning at the bar doesn’t hurt either.

It looks stunning in its ornate beauty, and it must be one hell of a stimulating environment in which to learn. Read more
