Sayan Isaksson lagar mat som är full av smaker från det Thailändska köket, men tillagade med mestadels av svenska råvaror. Och det är precis så mat ska lagas idag. Man kan ta inspiration från andra länders kök, men använda sig av vad vi har lokalt! Sayan har tagit inspiration från Isaan regionen i Thailand där både han och många av de andra kockarna är födda. Men även från Chiang Mai och Bangkok.
Sayan Isaksson har haft Michelin restauranger, vunnit guld med det svenska kocklandslaget, lagat Nobelmiddagar och mycket annat. Så det var med stor förväntan jag åt här första gången. Och jag har sedan dess hunnit med ett antal besök.
Men förvänta dig inte någon kokosmjölkssås, här är istället rå Thai streetfood i en miljö med kristallkronor. Det är Rock’n roll thai! På helgerna spelas jazz och soul, och drinkarna är ljuvliga och försvinnande goda. De har även öppet för frukost men det har jag inte hunnit att äta ännu, men deras brunch åt jag med glädje. Perfekt att prova på en massa olika rätter, men spara utrymme för dessertbordet för det är så himla mycket gott där!

Svinkløv Bath Hotel is runned by the Bocuse d’Or winner Kenneth Toft-Hansen and his wife Louise. It is located just by a stunningly beautiful Danish beach, and the hotel is finally rebuilt again after the fire in 2016 when it burnt down to the ground. I did not have the pleasure to visit before it burnt down. But apparently it looks exactly the same as before, you could never believe that this was just built. The materials they have used are solid, and it is wood everywhere. Painted in white and grey, and you get this feeling of calm when you enter Svinkløv.
Danyel Couet’s Allegrine in Stockholm is a ”french” restaurant with a Swedish touch. The name comes from Danyel’s grand mother. And she was a the one that got Danyel interested of food. The interior is spot on perfect. It has a relaxed vibe, but jet everything is just right.
This place is situated at Djurgården, just by Rosendal Palace. I have been a frequent visitor since the day they opened and my mother dragged me here. 
I have been to Wagamama in several country’s and I think it is a great lunch place. 
Yesterday they won the prestigious prize as Sweden’s Best Cocktail bar of the year. They also became the 37th best bar in the world this year! Not bad! I know that they have a great selection of beer and wine, but I only had cocktails here as I really like a good cocktail. So if you are in Stockholm, I would recommend this bar for one of your nights. They also serve South European and Middle Eastern inspired food. Preferably you have the food with some cocktails! Tjoget opened up in 2012, and is runned by the two childhood friends Joel Söderbäck and Andreas Bergman. Intresting fact, they have their own ice factory so that they will have the perfect ice!
Food Pharmacy and Lohas Vinedos invited me for the launch of the world’s most sustainable wine. With food it is today more and more possible to get all the information about were and how it is produced. 
The latest restaurant in Stockholm city. Perfectly located at Biblioteksgatan so that it is easy to pop in to. 
Food from Eritrea at today’s lunch with Food Tours Blue Line Suburbia. It is located at Rådhusets tube station in Stockholm. We had a big tray of different food to share.

Helle from Norway, Olga from Moscow and the two super chefs from the Michelin restaurant Disfrutar; Oriol Castro and Eduard Xatruch.They are also at the 9th place of the worlds 50 best restaurant! 
There is a new BBQ place in the city centre of Stockholm. The chefs have been down to Holy Smoke to learn how to make some great ribs, burgers and lot’s of other delicious food. And they have invested in a nice smoker and a great grill. 
If you wanna stay in Sweden but still have the feeling of a nice beach resort by the French Riviera, then Novi beach club is the place. 
Eatery Social is situated at Clarion Hotel in Skanstull, Stockholm. 
I went on a trip to Fiskebäckskil and checked in at Slipens Hotel. After a coffee I jumped on a boat with the fisherman Björn to go to the island Flatholmen for a Talisker lunch. 
A new cocktail bar will open up the 17th of May in Stockholm. Up by the roof tops, where you can see both the beautiful old buildings and the water! 
I spent last night eating an excellent 3 course dinner with some fab cocktails by Michael Hajiyianni from Ruby’s in Copenhagen, Denmark. 
and a fantastic warm inviting atmosphere. 
Anna Lallerstedt is running this classy, jet relaxed restaurant in Stockholm. There is a big beautiful dining room where you can have a nice meal. And then you have the “bar” area where you can eat breakfast, lunch and easier food. 
One of my first favourites in Shanghai, and it still tastes as good as it did in the beginning of 2000. Back then there weren’t that many none Chinese restaurants. So it was always a nice change to eat something different. Even if I love the Chinese kitchen. This evening I went here with my Swedish friend Märit and Els my Belgian friend that lived in Shanghai for 15 Years. Great friends, food and drinks. Life is good!
One of the great things in China is that you can get a nice lunch very cheap. Or the other way. I brought my friend to one of my little favourite restaurants, and she liked it. We had chicken, Chili, onion and some other veggies. Nice and tasty.
