6. Zum Franziskaner, Stockholm, Sweden (1421)
Zum Franziskaner was founded in Old Town Stockholm by German monks and is one of the oldest restaurants in Sweden. The place went through multiple renovations, so the building is no longer in its original form. The current structure dates to 1906.
One thing that hasn’t changed is the beer. The establishment still sells the same kind of beverage — brewed by the monks — that it did in 1421, the year when it first opened. The hearty food combines the founders’ heritage with the cozy Scandinavian setting.
We recommend one of the many robust Germanic beers to truly enjoy a serving of Wienerschnitzel, spätzle, or pickled herring.

I lived in Boston for 30 years and The Old Union Oyster House was an every Saturday event for a dozen oysters on the half shell with that great taste of the ocean and a glass of cold beer. God, do I miss it!!!!!
