We've tried brunch at the Hobo Hotel. Last Saturday, after the big event at the Sheraton hotel In Stockholm, a small group of bloggers met for brunch at the new design hotel Hobo Hotel on Brunkebergs torg. We met some of our best travel blogger friends and at the same time could enjoy really good food in the sun on Hobo's relaxed outdoor terrace.

Brunch at Hobo hotel in the sun
The weather on Saturday was great and we enjoyed the brunch in the sun outside the Hobo hotel. I chose scrambled eggs with cold smoked salmon and buttered toast (115 SEK). Very good indeed! Peter chose a prawn sandwich with avocado, cress and horseradish (165 SEK). It did not look stupid either if you say so!
Hobo Hotel
Hobo hotel is one of those nice design hotels that is cosy and slightly cool rather than exclusive. In the lobby there are plenty of green plants and furniture in different colours for relaxed hanging out. At the top of the building is the sister restaurant TAK, with a 1000 square metre roof terrace and a Nordic-Japanese menu.
Brunkeberg square
Brunkeberg Square in Stockholm was a fashionable neighbourhood in the 19th century, but later most of it was demolished and replaced by banks and other large companies. Now Brunkeberg Square is becoming hip again, with hotels, restaurants and people.
Who are the bloggers?
The bloggers we brunched with are some of our best friends. They also have, in our opinion, some of the best travel logs in Sweden. So, aren't we competitors then? No, mainly not. We have slightly different angles when we write, and we help each other!
Christian driver Food and travel blog, which is about travelling with a strong focus on food and restaurants. Lisa writes Life from the bright sideabout travelling with children and active days with a twist. Daniel has the blog Dryden - Traveler's editionand writes in her own unique way about air travel, training and destinations around the world. Last but not least we have Lina, who on her blog Liniz Travel & Lifestyle, shares her experience as a flight attendant and traveller with young children. Nice to have brunch at Hobo Hotel together!

So cosy! If I lived in Stockholm, I would have loved to hang out with you there. 🙂
I'll have to check out that roof terrace you mentioned, by the way. I love those!

There will be more occasions when we can meet Anna! Fun in any case to see you at the event at Sheraton! And yes, I have heard that the rooftop bar here should be nice 🙂

It looks so cosy! Would have loved to join you there if I still lived in Stockholm.
By the way, I have to check out that roof terrace. I love those!

What a lovely brunch it sounds like! ☺ Too bad you missed the event but chose the Greece trip instead this time (and certainly all other times and if it would clash again).

Helena says:
It was a very fun event, but I still understand that you choose a trip instead 🙂 Last time we missed it, when we were in Croatia ... Wishing you a nice holiday!

How nice with a report from here Hobo. Have been up as quickly as possible on the terrace and it gave more flavour. Will also try a brunch here. Very good prices too, which is not at all wrong.
It's nice to have a bit of an afterthought, too.

Helena says:
The brunch was good, can definitely be recommended 🙂 Have not been up on the terrace, but have heard that it is good.

Funny name! "HOBO" is "LUFFARE" here; excellent fit.
for a hotel. The name came about during the great stock market crash of 1928,
when unemployed men pilfered trains from one place to another and...
looking for work.
Nice gang at the table, and the FOOD! God how good it looks!!!
Wish you could get real, Swedish prawns here. 🙂

Helena says:
Haha, oh, does that mean hobo? I had no idea ... Would be interesting to know how they thought when they chose the name! 🙂 And yes, I can understand that you miss Swedish prawns! That was one thing we missed when we travelled around Europe in the motorhome for a year. There are a lot of goodies around Europe, but shrimps that taste like the Swedish ones, there are not ...

Hobo, fun name choice. Great lunch! Yes, the prawn sandwich for me.

Eat & drink beautifully, as we say, you certainly did. Not only that, it looked good too.

The appearance of the food also matters, I agree!

Emma, sun like sun? says:
Oh .... Arctic prawns ... On Thursday I'm going to IKEA to buy prawns for the midsummer sandwich cake! You have to be a bit Swedish in Spain some days of the year.
20 June 2017 - 20:06
Helena says:
Of course you can be a bit Swedish sometimes, especially on a day like Midsummer! 🙂 So you can find Arctic shrimp at IKEA? Great! Even frozen, they usually have good flavour.
