Location: Cafe Saturnus on Eriksbergsgatan, just off the main street Birger Jarlsgatan, in Stockholm, Sweden - nearest T-bana stops are Rådmansgatan and Östermalmstorg (cafesaturnus.se)
Edibles: linguine vongole for me; tomato-mozzarella salad for Yining
Musings: A nice little cafe, close to our hotel, offering sandwiches, salads, a few hot dishes. Seating is self-serve, so you have to hover and pounce when it opens up. People do tend to linger and chat.
The pasta was pretty good, but the real winner was the giant cardamom boule I impulse-purchased. (It's hard to tell from the picture but it really was a massive bread, about the size of a head of cabbage.) Dense yet fluffy, spicy and sweet, it was the perfect thing to munch on while we waited for our food to arrive.
[Postscript: It held up well, wrapped in waxed paper, and provided some much-needed sustenance for the flight to Reykjavik.]
