Chanced upon Bistro Rolf de Mare while we were searching for a dinner place that was not the usual burgers/Italian joints that are scattered around our hotel. Ended up with this highly recommended restaurant which turned out to be one of our best finds in Stockholm. Had the Salmon (Halstrad lax) and the Saffron Fish Stew (Rolf de Marés fisk- och skaldjursgryta) which is extremely underrated. The salmon was so tender, coupled with the creamy sauce was superb (and for those who love beansprouts, there were some which added to a slight "crunch" and sweet taste to the overall dish).

Read moreWe tried this bistro on our first night in Stockholm and it definitely set the bar high for our future dining experiences in the city. The bistro was very cozy with nice decoration, located centrally near many transport stations. Our waiter was very polite and attentive from the start of our experience. The menu had several choices but we ended up choosing the fish n chips and halstrad lax, both fish dishes. Both dishes were extremely well prepared and very flavorful. The portion size was generous and the presentation of the food itself was very well done. We had a white wine with our meal that paired very nicely. The dessert menu also had several tasty looking options but we settled on the brownie, which was also well prepared and flavorful. The overall experience here was a wonderful start to our holiday and we will definitely be coming back on any future visits...
