A city ICA with a continental larder
This is a branch of ICA, on the ground floor of an apartment building on Torkel Knutssonsgatan in Mariatorget, and it is a city store with a pulse: cramped between the shelves, busy at the tills, a mix of people in a hurry and people taking their time.
Start at the cheese counter. The range runs from everyday wedges to full platters, and it is the single thing worth clearing space in your bag for. The continental shelf is the other draw: French, Italian and Spanish products, with French-themed weeks bringing in things you will not turn up in a discount store. The deli counter and the staffed fish and meat counter are both there, unusual for a supermarket this size, and both let you buy by the piece rather than the pack.
Weekly themes shift the assortment, so the same aisle looks different from one week to the next, and there are offers beyond the standard flyer.
Prices run high against the discount chains. That friction is the trade-off for the assortment.
It suits anyone staying nearby who wants proper cheese and continental groceries without crossing town, and anyone arriving late who needs a full shop at ten at night.
What to look for
Cheese counter
The breadth is the point: everyday wedges through to platters, all served across the counter.
French, Italian and Spanish imports
Continental products you will not find in a discount store, with French-themed weeks bringing in the widest spread.
Deli counter
A staffed counter that survived the remodel and still sells by the piece.
The pick list
What to bring home
Cheese counter
The cheese range runs from everyday wedges to platters, and it is the breadth of that range that brings people back.
French, Italian and Spanish imports
The continental products are the ones people single out, especially during French-themed weeks, as things they cannot find elsewhere.
Deli counter
The staffed deli counter is one of the reasons the store stands out after its remodel.
Manual fish and meat counter
The fish and meat counter is served by hand, an unexpected strength for a city supermarket.
Who is this for
Anyone staying in Mariatorget or around Södermalm who wants a serious cheese counter and continental groceries within a few minutes of their bed. Late arrivals who land after a long day and still need a full shop, since the doors are open until 10 pm every night of the week. Cooks putting together a picnic or a platter who would rather buy fish and meat cut to order than pre-packed.
The verdict
It costs more than the discount stores nearby, but the cheese counter and the continental shelf are worth the premium if you are shopping for a platter rather than a week of staples.
