Nytorget 6 in Södermalm is a modern restaurant with great service, a good wine list and excellent, interesting dishes.

Staying in Söder for two days, it seemed like a good idea to head to a local restaurant for dinner. Nytorget 6 seemed like a good option to me. The place looks modern, yet also somewhat classy, it somehow has its own character.

The background music was an entertaining selection of nineties hits with songs like All Star by Smash Mouth, bringing back fun memories from school.

Nytorget 6 was pretty busy on that evening and I was lucky to get a place without a booking or a long wait.

The wine list was kind of impressive, I especially liked the white wines on the menu. I would say, it would be worth going back just for a nice glass of wine alone.

My meal started with various mini bread loaves and tasty butter. One bread was a bit spicy, another one was with cumin or so and then there was a hard, thin flat bread.

Following the bread, I had deep fried feta cheese with lemon and mint. A great combination of flavours, looking beautiful and tasting refreshing.

As you do when visiting Sweden, my first dinner in Stockholm had to be meatballs. As far as meatballs go, this was quite a fancy dish, if you ask me.

Having olive oil and balsamic vinegar in the centre of the mashed potatoes was a funny idea, and surprisingly, it worked for me. Of course, the meatballs came complete with delicious lingonberries and a nice cream sauce.

The meatballs themselves were also a bit different, as the meat was mixed with various herbs, probably wild garlic or something similar. It was a very tasty plate of food. And as much as I like IKEA meatballs, what Nytorget 6 put together was on a whole different level of deliciousness.

After the pretty heavy main, I looked for a light dessert and the Swedish cheese cake sounded good. The flavour was very nice and the raspberry added much needed colour and sharpness, but I did not really like the rice pudding-like texture.

After three courses, I left Nytorget 6 full and satisfied. The place has a great, vibrant atmosphere, staff are relaxed and friendly, and the food is top-notch.
