Nice food. Quick service. Nice sea view from the terrace. I took an Irish coffee and was disappointed though. Not enough whisky or sugar in it and a bit expensive. The food is better than the drinks there

The oldest restaurant and pub in/on Sandhamn, should be on your must do list. Upstairs is a dining room with a wide ranging menu and expect to have to book ahead, on the ground floor is a "pub" with a smaller menu, that most will find more than meets your needs. All diets are catered for to a degree, vegans will struggle. The mains and starters we had were great, the fish casserole possibly the best I have ever had. Who knew that pickled herring could be so good. The only disappointment was the pud a caramel cake served with a great vanilla ice cream, the cake element was, for me a little too dense. But still enjoyable.
An amusing thing is that Google asks about free or paid for parking even valet parking on an island with no cars or vans. I like AI that's not yet got that.
