The venue is divided into different sections: Izakaya – a beer hall with Tak’s riff on Japanese fare and drinks, IMA – a cocktail bar with stunning view of Stockholm, UNN – a dining section where you can indulge in food and drink pairings, and TAK Bar & Terrace – a rooftop bar which offers Nordic-Japanese cocktails along with upbeat tunes from the DJs and the cityscape of Stockholm.

LUX Dag för Dag

The waterside Scandinavian restaurant, LUX Dag för Dag, is a place to sample all the seasons of Stockholm; the menu is heavily influenced by what is grown and harvested each day by farmers who partner with the restaurant.

Hence, the menu here is constantly changing – dinner items can also be different from the lunch service of the same day.

Café Schweizer

Café Schweizer is the OG in Stockholm’s cafe scene, having opened in 1920. The cafe exemplifies fika culture, which is a Swedish coffee break tradition where one sits down to relish coffee or tea and sweet treats with family and friends.

ThaiBoat Stockholm

Dinner at ThaiBoat is a party in its own right. This floating Thai restaurant is divided into 8 different areas, each with a theme, like The Beach (with actual sand!), The Bridge (an outdoor seating area perched over the water) and The Igloo, where you can enjoy a family-style Thai feast, where a group shares multiple dishes on the table as one would in a typical Thai household.
