This is a great old institution of Södermalm! Grand high ceilings and wonderful murals on the walls. Traditional Swedish food. A bit pricey but worth it. Just around the corner from our apartment.

This is a stunningly beautiful park, just 5 minutes down the road from where we live. There's a good cafe in there as well or it's a lovely spot high on a hill to sit and look out over the city.

Sightseeing
This is a really beautiful walk by the water on Södermalm. You can actually walk the whole circumference of Södermalm in around 2.5 hours!
My favourite is to walk from Eriksdalsbadet (5 mins from our Apt) to Hornstull. There are several cafes, bars and even boules along the way and a flea market at Hornstull every Sunday.

The royal park. Its an extremely beautiful and huge piece of parkland by the water, right in the centre of Stockholm. A very scenic way to get there from Södermalm is by ferry! Walk down to Barnängsbryggan ferry terminal, just 10-15 mins from our apartment

My favourite museums
A wonderful modern art museum on Skeppsholmen. The space itself is wonderful to be in as well as the art. You get great value and delicious weekday lunches there. It's also very nice just to walk around the island as it's so beautiful.
