Bolaget i Visby AB — Restaurant in Gotland Municipality

Review of Restaurant Bolaget, Visby

Stepping over the threshold of Restaurant Bolaget, located in the vibrant Stora Torget in Visby, I am once again met with an atmosphere that manages to balance rustic charm with sophisticated elegance. I've dined at this restaurant twice in the past 24 months, and I can confidently say that the experience was as outstanding both times.

A significant contributing factor to the restaurant's prominent character is its unique concept of combining haute French, that is, French cuisine at its most advanced level, with local Gotlandic ingredients. This idea gives a new twist to French cuisine, inviting guests on a journey through a fusion of flavors, where French finesse and Gotlandic robustness meet.

The restaurant has an outdoor seating area facing the square, providing a fantastic view of the bustling life in Visby. Even though it's a popular spot, you don't need to worry about not being able to enjoy your meal in peace. They have skillfully managed to create a secluded atmosphere despite the square's pulsating life.

Another prominent feature is their wine selection. Restaurant Bolaget offers a rich and diversified range of wines, carefully selected to complement their fantastic menu. The wine list is both extensive and impressive, with everything from world-famous wines to hidden gems from lesser-known wine regions. Here, you can enjoy white, red, rosé, and sparkling wines, as well as a selection of dessert wines. Furthermore, the prices are reasonable, making the wine experience even more satisfying.

In terms of food, I highly recommend trying their beef fillet in red wine sauce and their lamb fillet with root vegetables. The beef fillet is perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful, further enhanced by the rich red wine sauce. The lamb fillet was equally impressive, full of deep, rich flavors and perfectly complemented by the rustic root vegetables. I have enjoyed these dishes on both of my visits to the restaurant, and the quality has been consistent.

Despite its sophisticated offerings, the prices at Bolaget are very reasonable. You really get the feeling of value for your money, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Finally, the environment and atmosphere are extraordinary. The staff is warm and inviting, and the ambiance is very pleasant, with a nice balance of Gotlandic and French reflected in both the decor and menu.

In summary, Restaurant Bolaget is a real gem in Visby. It offers a unique and memorable experience for all senses, where high-class cooking is combined with a beautiful setting, excellent service, and an extraordinary range of delicious wines. Its consistent quality, despite my visits at different times, makes me confident that I can strongly recommend it to anyone in Visby looking for an unforgettable...

The steak tartar was great, but the filet steak was so disappointing... no bread served, tiny serving of potatoes, and the ”mangold sallad” was just a mismash of random cooled vegetables (mostly celery) in a very sweet red wine sauce. I normally love vegetables, but I couldn’t eat that at all, and the strange taste of bitter and sweet stuck.

The desert was even more disastrous. The ”brownie” was nothing like a brownie I have ever had, and on top of that they added sweet caramel sauce and sweet strawberries. Sure, I’d expected this if it had been at McDonalds, but from a 165 kr dessert I expected more than sugar on top of sugar on top of sugar. Entire bill was more than 1 600 kr for 1 starter, 2 mains and 2 desserts. I’d spend that...

Very nice outdoor seating on a summers day. The food was top notch but on the pricy side. Cocktails are ok, but not worth the money, if you’re only out for drinks there are better places in Visby. The food was amazing. We had the beef with tomato salad, fries and bearnaise. Both my brothers are huge meat enthusiasts and normally come out disappointed after eating meat dishes at restaurants, but even they were amazed. Myself I dont really like bearnaise sauce but this one I can come back for. We also had the lamb with ratatouille with fresh potatoes and sage cream. A very nice combination of flavours, perfectly cooked lamb. Needless to say we were very pleased, and came back later the same evening to have some...
