Kapitelhusgården — Restaurant in Gotland Municipality

Went here during the Medieval Week (Medeltidsveckan) in a company of eight people. We ordered four servings of medieval tapas (3 meat, 1 one veg), and were severely disappointed. At first there were no available tables, even though we had booked one (1) table, so we were placed with other guests. Then we were handed different versions of the menu, (three of the menus we were given were apparently outdated and not supposed to be in circulation). Following the faulty menus, we ourselves had to ask to be seated at an available table. The pre course was good, no complaints. The meat main course (chicken, root veggies and saurkraut) had dry saurkraut, even more dry chicken (seriously, the chicken tasted and felt like they had cooked it inside an open flame), it was actually hard in some places. Nearing the end of the main course, pub guests where allowed to begin sitting in this part of the restaurant - our "dinner" was interrupted by overly drunken and very loud people disorderly sitting next to us while we were still eating. After waiting for the dessert for over an hour, we were told the kitchen apparently "didn't get the message" that we wanted dessert, as well as being told that the kitchen didn't have the ingredients to make the promised dessert. Hopefully this dinner, and the poor impression, has to do with poor planning and communication, rather than just poor quality. However, based on this experience, I would not recommend going here with a large gathering late at night. Thankfully, the staff tried to be as accommodating (as possible), and were very apologetic and understanding...

This place was above all expectations. I have visited "medieval" restaurants before (including one in Vilnius, "Lokys" where they served a beaver stew), but this one was a credible dive into medieval cuisine and atmosphere/habits. After having played KCD1&2 this place truly hit the nerve. We ordered the Crusade chicken which was very tender and the meat slid easily off the bones. One dish for two is really satiating. The sweet dried fruits balanced the spices of the chicken very well. I think modern obsession with spices (appearing in the comments) is but a sign of dull and constricted taste, and I wish this kind of rough flavor with a broad spectre of tastes was more commonplace. The dish also came with a surprise - one of the hosts made a fire show for us. The creativity, historical awareness and medieval weirdness are very well combined in the design of the interior and the back garden....

När jag upptäckte detta ställe fick jag en känsla av att jag måste testa att äta och dricka här. Tyvärr så blev det inte aktuellt förns några dagar senare (idag). Så vi bestämde oss för att åtminstone gå och köpa lite dricka. Men när vi satt os ner så bestämde jag att jag skulle testa maten. Jag testade mjölet Garm och vad de kallade husets mjöd. Garm var ett starkare mjöd som var inspirerat av vikingatiden och husets var inspirerat av jul kryddor som apelsin och nejlika. Båda var riktigt fantastiska och kunde såklart serveras i krus. Maten tycke jag mycket om. Det kändes som att de verkligen var ute efter medeltidskrubb och inte nödvändigtvis adelns krubb. Jag testade förrättssoppan och lammgryta. Förrätten kändes så pass enkel och rätt att jag trodde jag slungats 820 år tillbaka i tiden. Lammgryta skulle jag gissa har lite högre standard än vad pöbeln skulle fått. Den var en krämig gryta med strimlor av lamm som simmade runt i en perfekt kryddning, serverades med 5 morotsskivor och två palsternacksskivor som var stekta. Bästa lammgryta jag ätit. Inredning och miljö är väldigt sofistikerat och bra gjort. Det är få saker man skämmer bort sina gäster med av moderna bekvämligheter. Det var en vattentoa och rinnande vatten man gjorde sina sådana behov hos. Annars var det bara ljudanläggningen i huvudbyggnaden som var av modern ålder. En träsked, hög kniv och tvåstiftsgaffel var besticken. Det här är mer än middag! Det är en upplevelse och fan tror jag en av det närmaste du kommer i jämförelse med Aifur och Sjätte tunnan. Servispersobalen och kocken var rätt klädda...
