A photo of the Källarbyn café's entrance doors, leading from a cobbled street down a cosy red-brick passage to the café itself. The doors are framed with spruce branches, and blackboard signage with a handwritten menu in neat writing.

Källarbyn

<p data-block-key="y8nwp">In spite of its prime location in the tourist-dense Old Town, Källarbyn has earned a reputation among its many regulars for being not only cozy and authentic, but even and good value. The atmospheric 18th-century cellar with its eclectic decoration attracts mixed crowds. The frequent live concerts, extensive wine (– and tea!) list, and multiple vegan options all make for a – sometimes lively – café experience worth remembering.</p>
