Bistro Bananas — Restaurant in Stockholm

I love it when talented owners of bars and restaurants find the time to open new venues. A great example of this is the newly opened Bistro Bananas on Skånegatan. The owners of this vibrant place are also in charge of two of my other favorite places on Södermalm: Babylon and the bar Indigo.

Bananas opened in spring 2015 and serves rustic and homey Italian styled food. They have a genuine open-hearth pizza oven and oh-my-gah are the pizzas amazing! If you’re not a pizza-person, they have other dishes, where a cool mix of local fresh produce is combined with different cuts of meat. And don’t get me started on the dessert menu. One word: homemade chocolate sauce.

The dining room is arranged around the big circular bar, where the (almost) all female staff will mix you an awesome drink, serve you a nice glass of bubbly or maybe recommend a nice local beer. This spot is a perfect place for a hangout when your feet are tired from exploring Södermalm. They don’t take reservations, but the great staff will surely try their utmost to find you a table.

Do yourself and your tastebuds a favor, visit Bistro Bananas!

This place and his manager/owner attitude disgusted me. They don’t deserve to be open. On aug 2nd 2023 my 4 friends and I (who chose Bananas to celebrate the birthday of my friend Federico) were asked to leave by the waitress (after we spent 1h and 2000+kr there) because she was told (without ANY proof) that some of us was trying to sell drugs to a customer. I can guarantee this was not true. Zero. We were there 100% only to celebrate our friends birthday. Still they kick us out, offending us with a false incredibly offensive accusation. How can you dare to do something like this without proofs? This never happened in my hole life. The worst is that the owner/manager, Mr Jakub Vavra, answered to my email and messages concluding that his staff was right and I should never contact him again and stay away from his bar. I could not believe it. It is the most offensive and unfair treatment I received in 32 years. Again we were definitely not selling drugs. Probably the waitresses just didnt like us (they were quite rude and incompetent and they probably noticed we noticed) You should be ashamed of yourself! Sincerely hope you...

If I could give a zero I would. The rudest encounter I have ever had at bar.

We entered and our friend sat down at a table and were standing next to her. A member of staff came and spoke to her about drinks and I asked if we could order directly from him. He said sure what would you like, we asked for a glass of cava and margarita. Suddenly his attitude changed and he was going back and forth about if it was possible or not and it was too much for them. We then said that we could order at the bar if that was easier. Out of the blue he said that we had to leave, said that we were rude and that they all of a sudden were over capacity even though we there were several tables available further in.

We tried to understand what we had done wrong but were very quickly ushered out and told not come back.

I recommend everyone to stay away from this bar. Very unprofessional, rude and inexperienced staff. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like I’m the only one who has experienced this from reading the reviews. Such a shame as it was recommended...
