If you're looking for a truly unique dining experience in Stockholm, Aifur is definitely worth a visit. From the moment you step inside, the lively atmosphere will transport you back in time to the Viking age. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with wooden furniture, rough hewn panel walls, dim lighting, and a runic paint decor. The crowd is diverse, with people from all over the world adding to the vibrant energy of the place. A Dutch bachelor party added a rousing cheer for every guest as they were introduced. One of the highlights of our evening was the Rurik's Feast, which my father and I shared. The flank steak, lamb chops, and dwarf chicken were all cooked to perfection, and the portions were very generous. The meat was juicy and tender, and each cut had its own distinct flavor that we savored with every bite. It was served over an ample pile of root vegetables to round out the meal. To top it off, we enjoyed several rounds of mead, which was sweet and flavorful, just as it should be. It was served in glass drinking horns to add authenticity & complexity to the experience. Overall, Aifur exceeded our expectations in every way. The food, atmosphere, and service were all exceptional. If you're in Stockholm and looking for a memorable night out, Aifur should definitely be on your list of places to try. Be sure to make reservations well in advance.

Highly recommend to check out this place if you are visiting Stockholm for some Viking dining experience. There are two kind of touristy place: the true tourist trap don’t give a $hit services horrible food yet they are continue to have tons of business because they are lucky with a good location. I try to avoid those places. The second type is those like Aifur. Decent food, not super jacked up price, and with some unforgettable / unique dinning experience. The night started with a unique horn-blowing + funny scripted intro based on where you are visiting from. We got lucky again tonight as we got the “love seats” or hubby calls it the queen and king’s seats. We ordered the combo cold cut platter that comes with moose sausage, and the combo entre, which requires two head counts to order it. And it’s plenty of food. The food we ordered would have been enough to feed 3 people. I would have ordered the house smoke salmon if not because the other dish doesn’t require minimum headcount. Tips: Call after noon for the same day RSVP (they only take same day RSVP) Come hungry as the dishes are in very generous portion Get your video ready if you want to tape their funny yet welcoming announcement to the crowd before they seat you. If you aren’t able to RSVP a table, they have a bar area before the dining room.

Dreadful sexual harassment by staff, unsafe, dimly lit hallway. Vikings did not sexually harass their own women, & I am certainly not a slave. This place was recommended on an audio tour I bought. I walked in on Friday early evening and was asked if I was here to drink, eat or (I forgot what the 3rd thing was). When I said eat, I was asked if I had a reservation. When I said no, the young woman said “you’re just one person” and told me to ask Marcus, the head waiter at the top of the stairs. I told her I couldn’t see because the hallway was dark & she laughed. 😡 I shuffled my way along a dark hallway to the staircase down to the dining area, where I could see long bench tables, including spaces at the end of several tables. I asked if the man was Marcus and he said it depends on whether I want to give Marcus a lot of gold. When I said I wanted a table for dinner, and how to get that, he said “flirt with Marcus”. I said that I wouldn’t be doing that, and how could I make a reservation for another night. Then he gave me a long speech about how they often have empty seats (as I could see) but he has rejected so many other people it wouldn’t be honest if he didn’t reject me. I asked again about how to make a reservation for another night and he said he was only here Friday & Saturday, they’re closed on Sunday and next week he’s having surgery for cancer. I didn’t care about his schedule, but I empathetically wished him well with his surgery. I still was trying to find out how to book a table for dinner! The speech continued by telling me to come back on Saturday and say “you promised”. I asked if we should take a selfie to prove that he promised and he walked away. So I left. I found a website for the restaurant. To make a booking you must provide name, address, phone, email etc so I didn’t bother doing all that either.

This was an amazing experience. The food was delicious and the entertainment was even better. At the entrance you have a cloak room to leave all your things which is really nice because when you sit down at the table, there isn’t much space for your jackets. After you go down some stair and you mee the host. He asked us for our names, to see if we had a reservation and where we come from. He then used that information to introduce us to the guest that were already eating. The host tries he best to relate the country you come from to the Viking history, which is very nice. All the guest clap and you are walked toy our table. The tables a very long and if you are a small party you will most likely sit with others. It’s a nice way to also meet some new people and have a chat. The food was very good. My friend had the deer and I had to salmon! They were delicious. After some time there was a musician playing some Swedish instruments. All the guest at the restaurant played in with the chants and all seemed to enjoy themselves. We had lots of fun. The service also passed out a hat , sword and some fur for people to take photos. I would definitely come back if I have another friend come visit me. There were also lots of Swedes there which was very surprising to me, so I don’t consider this a tour trap at all.

Absolute crazy place you have to visit as a tourist. They seat you in this big hall, treat you like vikings, announce any newcomers to everyone and you can hold a sword during your dinner. More practically, the experience was amazing and very surprising but the waitresses were super swamped and after about halfway our meal it became impossible to order any new drinks nor could we get the bill. I asked 3 separate employees, who all said we needed to ask someone else but among these were the waitresses meant to be taking orders. Eventually, we just walked to the bar and paid and did not have any other drinks. I really hated that such a magical experience ended in this unpleasant way. For food, we had Roland's Feast platter, which is a shared dish with several types of meat and a big bowl of veggies. The veggies were a mix of bell peppers and some root, but i would have liked to see some potato or otherwise carbs. Furthermore, the fork you are given is really funny and works mostly well for meat but is terrible to eat the veggies with. The meat was good, with a mix of (we guess) chicken, pork and beef. Lastly, the drinks: they serve mead here, which is dark ages honey wine. This was incredible and delicious bit kind the price of about €45,- per bottle. Beer is served in beautiful earthenware cups.

It is a dark dungeon. If its your thing then you are in the right spot. It took us forever to locate it using google app, so do yourself a favor find the street its on and keep walking you will see it. We had a reservation and as it was taking us a while to find it I was nervous, I did not want to miss our time slot. When we go there, it was chaotic. People were lined up to get into the dining room. I asked if people had reservations and as they said not, I continued to the front of the line. Once I got there, I informed the restaurant attendant that we had a reservation and he said to get back in line with “Welcome to Sweden, the country of lines”. I thought it was rude… whatever. So the line is for all whether you have a reservation or not. If you do not have a reservation, you wait in line to be told that there are no seats and send you on your merry way. Stupid. Then you are seated with total strangers, literally touching elbows. You sit across from you partner and extremely loud environment does not allow you to have a decent conversation. Service was lacking, you better order ALL right away or you will be looking and then waving your wait person. Food tasted good; the whole experience was not for us. Waste of our time.
