Oestermalm Saluhall - Irresistible Gourmet Halls
in short...
gorgeous brick and cast iron market hall from 1888
from köttbullar to smörrebröd - everything we could wish for
and don't forget - a cooler bag for the trip home
Stockholm's market hall thrives on its unique blend of historic architecture and a delightful selection of exquisite delicacies.
Whether we're looking for fresh ingredients to cook in our Airbnb, searching for culinary souvenirs for loved ones back home or just craving a quick snack among the old market stall - Saluhall is the perfect place.
So, grab your shopping bags and let yourself be tempted!
The building, which first opened its doors in 1888, has kept its charm despite extensive renovations and is definitely worth a visit on its own.
High ceilings, intricately decorated iron beams from the elaborate cast iron structure and huge windows set into thick old brick walls create a stunning backdrop for the colorful array of offerings from around the world.
Stepping inside feels a bit like a journey back to a time when markets were the heart of the city.
As you stroll through Saluhall's aisles, you're met with countless culinary temptations - from fresh fish and seafood to succulent meats and a fabulous selection of cheeses, along with bread, pastries and sweets.
Thanks to Stockholm's proximity to the sea, the diverse range of fish is particularly impressive.
Meat lovers will also find Scandinavian specialties like reindeer and elk.
Whether it's Köttbullar or Graved Lax, cinnamon buns or licorice, Smörrebröd or Swedish crayfish - no local specialty is missing from this grand hall.
And for those seeking international flavors, you'll find everything from oriental spices to Italian antipasti, Spanish ham, French cheese and much more.
We love to sample the many small stalls or take a break at Lisa Elmqvist.
And of course, we always bring along a cooler bag for the journey home.
