Hop Dish & Vine — Restaurant in Stockholm

I went to this amazing restaurant yesterday. It is a very quaint, rustic surprise. The staff, food and the customers were all very friendly. There were even a few four-legged visitors stopping in to pet. The weather was beautiful so having the open air dining made it even better. There are a few tables indoors.

The menu is delivered on a clipboard with the offerings for the day. I included it in the photos. I enjoyed the Creamy Squash Sage Pasta. Which was absolutely amazing. My dining companion had the Mushroom Philly Sandwich with fries and the Marinated Herby and Fresh Feta as a starter. Since it was her birthday she topped it off with a Flourless Chocolate Torte w/ Spicy Orange Cardomom Bourbon Syrup. I enjoyed their Cheesecake w/ Apple Cider Caramel sauce. They were to die for. Absolutely delicious!

I am so thankful a very friend gifted me with a gift certificate to this amazing restaurant in this gem of a town because I would have never gone to the Pepin/Stockholm area. Will definitely be spending time there when they re-open in the spring. They will stay open as long as the weather cooperates. One of the servers said hoping to stay open until the middle...

I wasn’t sure what to expect when we walked into this place. It’s an outdoor venue kind off the side of winding road in a really small town. There seemed to be only one person waiting on tables and at first he seemed a bit dismissive of us — to his credit we were a group of 6 college-age people clearly from out of town.

However, once we sat down and had a chance to look at the menu he seemed to be in a better mood. And the food was PHENOMENAL. An interesting selection of sandwiches and other items that, if I had the time and money, I would have tried everything. The fryer was off that day due to the heat, which limited some of our options, but that was okay. I ended up getting a veggie sandwich, which was good, but the highlight was by far the potato salad, which was served in this adorable lettuce wrap (see photo). Cute and very tasty.

Everything our party got was delicious. A highlight in particular is that the bread for the sandwiches come from the neighboring bakery (which I’ve heard is run by the owner’s girlfriend which is honestly adorable if true). All in all, a MUST if you are...

The food was fresh and flavorful. There is a true chef in the kitchen and it shows. We had soup, salad, sandwhich w/multiple very complimentary meats, which sounds odd but not if you eat that awesome sandwhich, and a falafel sandwhich. I don't like much falafel and from what i tried it was very good. The atmosphere and service was also excellent. Had i known of this place beforehand I would have carved out more time to just be there, the patio was peaceful and beautiful. Flowers and herbs abound around and there is a m'f'n waterwheel!...
