Karamell: Stockholm’s vibrant new oasis by the waterfront

Right by the waterfront in Gamla Stan, newly opened venue Karamell is a colourful oasis, tempting with a festive atmosphere and impressive culinary delights – the perfect spot for locals and visitors in the city to meet up for a meal or a cocktail.

Stockholm has an exciting new venue to check out, with one of the city’s best views. Karamell is located on Skeppsbrokajen just a few metres from the water, overlooking Skeppsholmen in one direction with Strandvägen and Gröna Lund looming behind, and Slussen and Södermalm to the south. And not to forget, it sits right in the picturesque area of Gamla Stan, or Old Town.

Karamell opened its doors this spring, with a fabulous opening bash, and is already a popular spot for locals and visitors in Stockholm. The name means candy, and true to its name this is an irresistible treat just like a bag of pic ’n’ mix. “Karamell is a fusion of colours, shapes, and flavours – enticing people’s curiosity,” says owner Christos Neo. “The name symbolises variation. Every bite should evoke the sensation of sweet, salty, sour, and above all tasty.”

Culinary delights for all the senses

Similarly to its sister venue Glashuset, a modern brasserie located on Strandvägen in Stockholm, Karamell serves up a culinary journey that embraces Scandinavian flavours and Mediterranean delicacies. The beef tartar with Dijon mustard mayonnaise and yellow beets sounds smashing, as does the flank steak on sourdough bread, not to mention the octopus with bulgur salad and preserved lemon. And the cocktail named Oh Snap! with gin, sugar snaps, kalamata olives, lemon and soda is sure to become a hit.

Karamell is not just a culinary hub though, this is also a feast for the eyes with tastefully decorated interiors, a lush outdoor terrace right by the water, and a bar that prepares colourful cocktails. “The atmosphere needs to reflect what we serve on the plate,” says the restaurateur. “Whether our guests come for a lunch with co-workers on the terrace or a festive dinner with family or friends at night, we want them to have a memorable experience.”
