When you're in Sweden, of course you want to get a taste of the real Swedish food. Surprisingly there are not that many authentic Swedish food restaurants. The Swedish street food has been taken over by American-influenced hot dogs, Middle Eastern's kebab that also sells burgers and pizzas, and more recently, Thai wok and Japanese sushi. Swedes love fish and healthy food (and no deep fried!), which explains why sushi corners are everywhere around the corner!
Unfortunately, being an Indonesian means very likely that you will dislike Swedish food. For us it is either too creamy, too salty or just bland.
If, however, you insist on trying Swedish food, just stick to IKEA meatballs (I am serious!) because it is cheap and good enough. There are two IKEAs in Stockholm area and none of them is located in the city centre. One is in the north, a short busride from Jakobsberg pendeltåg station (IKEA Barkarby) and one in the south, within walking distance from Skärholmen subway station (IKEA Kungens Kurva).
There have been more and more restaurants that try to be creative in their food flavour and presentation using local Swedish products. I can recommend Smörgåstårtariet, Lilla Ego and Speceriet. Table reservation is highly recommended if you want to eat out in a good restaurant in Stockholm.
