One of our visiting journalists once said: “Swedish traditions is all about food”. I guess he was right. Next foodtradition comming up is the Semla. The “semla” is to be eaten on Fat Tuesday, February 21 this year, but why only once a year?
Almost as soon as christmas is over Swedes starts eating whipped cream buns, stuffed with marzipan, named Semla. You it it plain or in a bowl of hot milk, so called “hetvägg”. Five “Semlor” per person is the average number of Semla-buns that a swede eat every year. Wonder why?
Here are the best places for “semlor” in Stockholm:
Vetekatten (classical) Kungsgatan 55, City district
Sturekatten (old fashioned small town café in the city) Riddargatan 4, Östermalm
Tössebageriet (classical) Karlavägen 77, Östermalm district
Sundbergs Konditori, (classical) Järntorget 83, Gamla Stan district
Gunnarssons (classical) Götgatan 92, Södermalm district

Roslagsgatan street is known for its antique dealers and small intimate shops and restaurants offers a fun mix of trendy hipsters, young families and pensioners. In 1870, when the district was built, was considered so far off the beaten track that it was given the nickname “Siberia”. The name is still used. Here are some of the typical places in the area.
