Urban Deli Nytorget — Supermarket in SoFo, Stockholm

Urban Deli Nytorget is a supermarket and restaurant in one, sitting on Nytorget in SoFo. You walk in and the place reads as a food shop and a dining room at once, with a young, trendy visual identity that makes you want to stop and look around before you sit down.

The Korean raw steak from the starter menu is the dish to order first: a plate of raw beef arranged with mayonnaise and rice paper, and the one thing that lands well even when other plates do not. The shrimp salad is the other pick, full of flavour in a way that salads of its kind usually are not. The smash burger at brunch is the third.

The room works as a restaurant with outdoor seating, and children are well catered for, with a good selection even on the children's menu. The relaxed atmosphere and the outdoor tables are what make it a place to linger rather than a quick in-and-out.

Prices are high for what arrives on the plate. A slice of French toast at 165kr is the kind of bill to expect, and oysters are cheaper on Fridays, which is the one money-saving move worth timing a visit around.

Service can be slow with long waits. It suits anyone who wants a supermarket-and-restaurant stop in SoFo with a drink in the sun, and families who need a children's menu that is actually thought through.
