Experience

Tapas in Stockholm? Yes! The city is host to a number of great spots where you can enjoy delicious tapas, pintxos, and Spanish delicacies. These small Spanish nibbles are some of the best foods to try out on a tour like this; after all, you can try a couple at each spot and still have room for the next. Although many of the restaurants along this route offer traditional tapas dishes, they also include typical local ingredients (such as salmon) to offer a twist on the classics.

What is Uptaste? We’re something like a travel agency business (although we don’t sell flights or hotels). Instead, we specialise in finding the right place to eat, wherever and whenever you are, using location intelligence combined with expert and community curation. Uptaste destinations will rarely be restaurants; they’ll be shops, they’ll be street traders, they’ll be local markets, or some other easy-to-miss but hard-to-forget place.
