Hang out at Yono Sabo

Stockholm’s new hub for great food and socialising is called Yono Sabo. Made by friends, for friends, this Mexican-inspired, street food-style eatery serves up delicious food with Asian elements. But more importantly, Yano Sabo is somewhere to relax, hang out and just have a good time.

Think bistro-style menus with fresh and playful flavours and you have a nice-sounding restaurant. Add a bit of Mexican flair, DJ sets and great-tasting cocktails and you have Yono Sabo. “One of our co-founders, who also heads up our kitchen, is part Mexican which has obviously helped shape the restaurant’s offering, but I would say we’re a lot more than that,” says co-founder Otto Nord. “We don’t like to put ourselves in a box, the important thing for us is that we offer great food in a welcoming atmosphere. It’s that simple, really,”

Whether it’s lunch, post-work drinks or dinner, the hype around Yono Sabo is spread wide. The menu features burritos, bowls and classic tacos while the bar is home to fun cocktails rustled up by talented bartenders. And while visits on school nights are slightly more reserved, the volume gets turned up at weekends, often with live music included. “During the European Football Championship this past summer, we built a deck outside the restaurant, brought in some screens and basically created a mini fan zone together with neighbouring businesses. The atmosphere was incredible,” says Nord.

By friends, for friends

Yono Sabo is a true family affair, or a friendly one at least. Because almost every part of the establishment has been created in partnership with people from the founders’ social group, in which there is a fair bit of talent. “One of our friends designed the bar while a gallerist we know sourced the art. Another friend designed the graphical elements on our menus and a fourth has a micro-brewery whose beer we sell,” explains Nord. “It’s nice being able to bring everyone’s passions together and create something fun.”

Looking ahead, Yono Sabo is set to launch a Mexican-style Christmas theme come December. This will include large, family-style sharing platters with specially selected dishes for friends and family to enjoy together. And if these platters are anything like the current offering, tables are likely to get booked up fast. So don’t hang about, good times are waiting.
