Mälarpaviljongen: Stockholm, Sweden

Stock6

A stunning waterfront oasis, this floating outdoor lounge and restaurant is run by those fabulous boys who brought you riotous fun and glorious food at Torget. During the past decade, this stylish team of restaurateurs have opened a series of chic and très gay establishments in Stockholm – and their latest venture is brilliantly located on a barge, pier, and beach along the shores of Riddarfjärden (aka, the Knight Firth), a bay of Lake Malaren in central Stockholm.

While the views across the bay are Hollywood-perfect, there’s also the seriously gorgeous crowd that gathers nightly at this summer establishment for some of the most delicious organic food. With a profusion of flowers and trees, all surrounded by the azure bay, the setting is unbeatable – and particularly at sunset when lights flicker on the water. If you’re truly blessed, you’ll take dinner in the original Mälarpaviljongen, an enchanted 19th-century Swedish pavilion.

Open during the summer only, Mälarpaviljongen is evocative of a beloved summer resort establishment – where memories and magic are made all summer long.
