Koh Phangan

The Koh Phangan is a Thai restaurant in Södermalm, Stockholm.

It's a bit of a crazy restaurant because of the decoration inside. It's very colourful with different pictures on the walls, even in neon colours. There are many little seating nooks with tables inside and you're feeling a bit like your in the jungle. They even have a small river with real fish inside the restaurant.

The dishes taste great and everyone will be able to find something on the menu. The dishes are marked how spicy they are, so you will know what you can choose when you don't like it hot. The whole menu is available in English as well.

If you don't want to eat there, you can only go to the bar as well.

The restaurant is often very full, so you can book a table in advance or you have to plan for some waiting time before you get a table.

They have a second restaurant in Östermalm as well.

Monopol

The Monopol is a restaurant and bar in the city Hamelin.

It has a nice atmosphere and very good food. You can order small dishes, salads, burger or steaks for reasonable prices. If you don't want to eat anything you can also go there for cocktails.

In summer you can sit outside on the roof terrace but you have a great view over Hamelin from inside as well. The interior is stylish and everywhere are nice details like the gold and black candle holders on the tables.

The restaurant has a culinary calendar with different events during the year. In summer they have regular BBQ buffets or culinary world tour buffets which can be quite spectacular. It's better to reserve a table on one of these event days.

There's the possibility to rent the historic hall for weddings, birthday parties or other events.

Way Down South

The Way Down South is a Barbecue restaurant in Oslo's quarter Grünerløkka.

Topped Sweet Potato Fries

It's a small and cosy restaurant and in summer you can sit outside on the sidewalk as well. They serve southern BBQ dishes and desserts made from local products. There's an early bird menu beside the normal one when you arrive in the restaurant before 6 pm. It's a bit cheaper than the dishes from the normal menu.
The food tastes great and I can especially recommend the St. Louis Pork Ribs and Topped Sweet Potato Fries. If you want to have something crazy, you can order a Freak Shake and be surprised what you'll get.
