We are on the Rick Steves Scandinavia tour (July) and are arriving a few days early and would like to know if anyone has found a good restaurant near the Hotel Wellington, in Stockholm. Hopefully someone who was on this tour in the past will have some places that they liked.

We took this tour in 2019 and we arrived about 5 days early. We ate at the hotel as it was included with the room (breakfast and supper). They have a wonderful buffet supper and will post what the evenings menu is ahead of time. The food was wonderful. Their dining area has tables plus the lobby has a few tables by the windows. It was really nice after walking all day to see the sights, to just walk to the dining area to eat. If you have made a reservation, I would double check with them about the supper still being included.

I second Ostermalms Saluhall for lunch. A lot to choose from, delicious and fun.

Hôtel Wellington is in a great location. When I stayed there the included dinner was good and it helped to arrive early. I was not traveling with a tour group.
Since you mention July, I’m not sure if the hotel has installed air conditioning yet, probably not needed most of the time. I love warm weather but during my July visit, there was a heat wave. The desk fan really couldn’t cope. Finding a cool place for dinner was a godsend.
