On Day 19 of our Round The World Trip with Star Alliance, we had a morning fika (Swedish coffee break), and enjoyed some seriously delicious cinnamon buns. After visiting the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, we then went to a garden restaurant and I had and incredibly delicious shrimp salad. It was a relaxing and another wonderful day visiting Stockholm, Sweden.
1:00 Fika at Valhallabageriet Bakery - There’s a term in Sweden that’s called fika, which means to have a coffee break. And not only does it just mean to have a coffee, but it also has is a deep part of Swedish culture. So to begin the day, Ying and I headed over to a bakery called Valhallabageriet Bakery to have a fika, and I bought a cinnamon bun, a cardamom bun, and a coffee. We arrived pretty early, so the bakery was still nice and quiet and located in a beautiful area of town. The cinnamon bun and cardamom bun were easily the best I’ve ever had. I’m not a huge baked good lover or a sweets lover, but these were on the next level. It was a very successful fika in Stockholm. Total price - 74 SEK ($8.60)
5:18 Vasa Museum - 130 SEK ($15.12) per person - Next we walked over to the Vasa Museum, which is one of the most famous museums in Stockholm that’s home to a war ship that sunk just off the coast of Stockholm. The ship was in near perfect condition and it was salvaged and is now within the Vasa Museum. It was very interesting to see. Also within that area there are numbers other Stockholm attractions, museums, and entertainment.
7:06 Blå Porten Restaurant and Cafe - For lunch we walked over to a restaurant called Blå Porten Restaurant and Cafe, which was just around the corner from the museum we visited. To begin with the restaurant is in an absolutely beautiful setting, within a garden and courtyard. You walk in the restaurant and it’s kind of cafeteria style, where you walk through the line, order the Swedish food you’d like, and then pay before finding a seat. For Ying and I, we ordered a plate of lamb meatballs, and then a Swedish styles shrimp salad. The lamb meatballs were wonderful, but the highlight of lunch was the shrimp salad which was incredibly good. The shrimp were so sweet and stringy that they almost tasted like crab. Total price - 314 SEK ($36.52)
12:40 Boat to Slussen Pier - 25 SEK ($2.91) per person - One of the best ways to get around Stockholm is by taking the ferry. The views are fantastic!
17:37 Dinner at Björk Bar & Grill - After walking all the way home and getting some wonderful views of Stockholm, and also waiting out a rain storm, we headed back to our hotel, and had dinner at the Björk Bar & Grill. I ordered some more dill cured salmon, and also one of my favorite Swedish dishes, toast skagen. I didn’t pay for this meal, but each dish cost about 120 - 170 SEK ($13.95 - $19.77).
It was an amazing final day in Stockholm, and I especially enjoyed the shrimp salad at Blå Porten Restaurant. Stay tuned for the next day when we fly from Stockholm to Barcelona!

Such a slob and all those fake faces!
This is my second or third time wat hing these travel around the world episodes. Each time I learn something new. I do have to say that I really enjoy seeing and hearing Ying. I know now she is busy with your son but I do enjoy her opinion. Thank you!
seriously, i really hate salmon, but i Love your smile. didnt think you had the best of Sweden thouhg.. i can make it for you-
I think that's a kräftsallad, not räksallad! So it's crayfish tails, not shrimp! might be why it tastes more like crab. You find crayfish a lot in Sweden
That's a great meal !!!!he explains the food well!!!!always great to see them eat
One thing about mark he enjoys every bite respectful nice and good comments about the place and the food great times for him and family!!!!
Feels like you liked Sweden, even though you love hot food 🙂 Keep it up and best regards to your wife who accompanies you everywhere!
Here's the truth: The boil the shrimp in salt and sugar, hence the sweetness
We miss you in Sweden Mark and Ying! ^3^ You need to come back and bring back Micah this time ! Definitely make sure to come during summer though for more beautiful garden fikas
I wonder it the meatlumps was 'biffar' or 'järpar'…
hahaha..sorry Mark..Fika in Hungarian means (nose boogers) sorry made me laugh 😉
I know Marks understands food. But when he drowned everything under a thick layer of pepper – he makes me really having some questions.
your wife looks annoyed or bored in all vids
Having a little classic food with his ground pepper? …Marrrk.
That shrimp salad has both shrimp and crayfish. It's the crayfish that looks like lobster. Very yummy
Mark, I just started watching your videos, & im now addicted! Your friendliness & positivity is what caught my attention. Way to go, & I can't wait to see more! 😃😃😃
Mark Love your videos. But please apply chapstick or drink lots of water. Your lips are always so white and dry.
Yum – those amazing cinnamon buns (one of the many forms of "cafe-brod" ["coffee-breads"] that go with Fika"). Sweden has the best coffee culture in Europe outside of Vienna.
