Seaside restaurant in a leafy archipelago environment

Word to the wise: Stockholmers and tourists alike flock to this place in the summer, so reserve a table ahead of time on their website.

When it comes to location, it doesn't get any better than this. Bockholmen Hav & Restaurang is right by the water and enjoys a beautiful spread of land on a small island of the same name.

Just north of Stockholm, this restaurant and event space is full of cosy corners and incredible views. Come for a drink and admire the setting, or come for dinner and sample the Scandinavian- and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. After dinner, head down to the water to the more casual Kärleksbaren, or the 'love bar'.
