Östermalm Market Hall
Östermalms saluhall
A red-brick food market that opened in 1888, serving traditional Swedish foods such as shrimp sandwiches, pickled herring, and reindeer meat.
Östermalm Market Hall was built in 1888 with a red-brick exterior and cast-iron roof frame. It is considered one of the most beautiful markets in the world, and it reopened in 2020 after renovation. Inside, you will find stalls selling seafood, cheese, meat, and prepared foods. You can sit down to eat open-faced shrimp sandwiches (Räksmörgås), pickled herring, meatballs, and seafood soup. Prices are on the high side, but the quality is excellent. The market is closed on Sundays, and weekday lunch hours are crowded. Take the metro to Östermalmstorg station, and the surrounding area is home to upscale residences and boutiques.
