Restaurant Sturehof in Stockholm: a solid but uninspiring brasserie
It's hard to find a restaurant that appeals on a Sunday evening in Stockholm. Many are closed, especially the more "interesting" ones, the few creative tables that are open are full, and I don't feel like playing Russian roulette...
