Boulebar Tanto — Restaurant in Stockholm

Boulabar Tanto, Tuesday June 19, 2018. The location is excellent, situated between the shore and the Tanto garden houses. White it has high potential it falls short on 2 accounts: the food is pretty bad and the serving staff are snorky and lack service-minded ethics. I've been there several times. Food has been equally bad every time, Staff is more hit and miss.Today we were forced to sit in the far corner despite being the only food guests at the time. When we left we counted 48 free spaces on the benches, we could have sat where we wanted.. why in the far corner? (yes we were presentable and sober).

The mussels were served tepid,, those on top of the pan were actually cold. The sauce lacked any spice and just seemed a water and flour mix. Tip to cook; a pan of mussles shout be HOT, (as in heated) with garlic and spices in sauce.

The ceviche they serve is not a ceviche. It's just shrimp and bits of fish in vinegar with diced raw vegatables (ceviche should have marinated fish and preferably also marinated vegetables with the only fresh ingredient avocado. As a result, the "ceviche" only tastes of vinegar, I think you can actually see that in my attached pic

On top of the above, the bread was dry and coarse and I was served the wrong beer, lol. Sounds like too much but I've been here before and its not the first time they disappoint.

Two only good things with Boulbar Tanto

1. location and ambience is excellent
2. their french fries are very good

So, they get 2 stars, not a single more earned.

Visit, drink alcohol, play boule and have fun but don't order the food. Sorry, but honest..(Tip to establishmen, educate your staff on who pays their wages, we...

Nice and sunny place by the beach. We ordered the meat plate without asking about what specifically it contained and were a little surprised when it came back as basically a plate of salami (we expected actual meat - our fault, we should have asked), but other than that the staff was friendly (if a bit confused, like two waitresses not knowing the special or forgetting I spoke no Swedish 90 seconds after interacting with me) and relatively efficient.

The prices are on the expensive side because it's a very mainstream location but there's also boule so there's that element of group fun.

We stopped here for a Friday lunch. The nice surprise was that Friday lunch includes 30 minutes of pétanque playing afterwards.

We had lovely time with my parents and a friend of mine. The two options, meat or vegetarian dish, were both very nice. And we decided to give Pastis a chance too and it was a fun experience, especially the blue color of it :)

On a hot summer day there ain’t much better place in south Södermalm than this. Can recommend especially their...
