Magonza Café

A lot of wannabe French places in Stockholm sound fake or out of place. Trying too hard on details forgetting some basics. All of the ones I tried made me feel ‘meh’ after some time. All of them except this one.
Food taste like when I am in French countryside, but nicely presented as Swedish standards dictates. Drinks are OK (I would have loved to have teas like mariage or betjeman).
But even if the food is good, this is not why I think this place is amazing. It is because I think that they achieved to mix something utterly difficult: making French and Swedish cultures cohabitate but not mix. Taking the strong and pleasant aspect of each, at least from my French point of view, and letting them shine. The place is small, and the decoration not bragging its origin, so what I am describing will be much more found in details and behavior of the service. In one sentence, they are comforting because they know that they are doing a great job, with passion, and take pride of it without the need to play a role or brag about it. And they are caring.
Overall, this place is very much approved.

This place is a little french inspired café in the eternally hip neighborhood of central Södermalm. This place is owned by the same people as the well known Hablingbo Creperie in Gotland. The interior décor is nice and the whole place has a quaint hip neighborhood feel to it. The staff was also lovely and helpful here!
I adored the chicken, mayo and egg baguette that I ordered. Their other options included more sandwiches, soups, and salads. The soup that I saw ordered by a pal looked quite delightful and filling as well. The price I paid for lunch was also wonderful at 65:-. I have to wonder what the going rate for a subway sandwich is these days, because my baguette was a million times more delightful and also an economical sandwich style lunch option. I would definitely consider this place if your in the area.
TIP– If you like the cups here you can buy them at the store next door. The owner’s wife is the ceramist and makes them all. They are quite pricey, but absolutely beautiful!
