While waiting for my lunch order to be served, I took this photo of the statue of St George Slaying the Dragon, reflected from the glass walls of Österlånggatan 17 in Gamla Stan.
One of the joys of visiting Stockholm in warmer weather of late Spring or Summer is the ability to enjoy a meal outdoor or al fresco style. Outdoor sitting is allowed from 1 April till 15 October and most customer would choose to sit outside on a fine day.
Gamla Stan on this day was pretty busy, as this was a day where soccer fans from England and Holland flocked to Stockholm for the Europa League Cup Finals between Manchester United and Ajax Amsterdam. Despite that, we managed to get a seat outside the restaurant of our choice.
This was our second visit to Österlånggatan 17, having enjoyed our meals here during our January trip to Stockholm. I particularly liked the bread that was served while waiting for our main courses to be prepared.
This time, the bread came in paper bags for those sitting outside the restaurant. The bag contains two pieces of brown bread, buns and a crispy flat bread. Plus a small bowl of cream and butter spread. We finished most of it, washed down with some pale ale and juice.
We ordered the daily special of grilled chicken on couscous and a steak with fries and tomato salad.
It was great having our lunch outdoor in the midst of the Old Town, watching people and soccer fans strolling by.
Overall, another satisfying meal at this restaurant in Gamla Stan, Stockholm.
