This restaurant deserves 6 stars. I visited twice while in Stockholm. The second night I had the Char and it was in the most exquisite cream sauce. Best meal ever. I started with a cocktail called Polar Ice which is a lingonberry and vodka drink, which has both lingonberry liquor and pressed lingonberry juice. It was outstanding. The previous night I had veal in an awesome mushroom sauce with the most delicious gratin potatoes. The veal was so tender. It came med. rare but I would have preferred medium The chef really knows how to make a sauce and they do say it is Swedish food with French influence. This has to be the best restaurant in Stockholm and the price is really reasonable for what you receive. The managers and wait staff could not be nicer. I would come back to Stockholm just to eat here once again and try another dish! If you like fish and cream sauces... order the Char....incredible! Also the several cave like rooms are so charming but we ate outside one night and that was great also. I cannot recommend this place more....did I say I would give it 6 stars out of 5....make it 10 out of 5. I'm from California and I've visited France many times. Trust me....if you come to Stockholm, this is a must. Right in the old town Gamla Stan. Oh and the best Swedish meatballs also!! I wish...
Read moreThis is a tourist trap! I visited this place on last Sunday and it was the worst service I experience anywhere during my travels. I was there with a friend. At the beginning waiter brought us empty glasses for water. We ordered one starter, one main and beers. They brought basked with amazing Swedish bread. We started eating it. After several minutes we asked for beer just to hear that they completely forgot about it. They brought it promptly. My started came. It was a cold dish so I expected we will need to wait longer for the meatballs. What I didn’t know is that waiter did not understand or want to understand, or simply remember that we wanted to get both dishes served at the same time. It wasn’t strange for them that 2 people come in just to take turns in staring how the other person eats. I finished my starter and nothing happened. We had to explicitly (again) ask them to bring us the food. When meatballs arrived, mashed potatoes were just warm. We finished the food and left. Leaving was probably what I enjoyed the most. Do you remember the water I mentioned at the beginning? Don’t worry, waiter didn’t...
Read moreIn short, even though the food was fine, we waited 40 minutes for our table, were treated in a condescending manner by the main waitress and our wine and dessert were partially forgotten.
We ordered the given menus including minced lobster and raindeer as main courses. These were exceptionally well prepared and presented - a true delight for the mouth. Sadly, the food was the only positive aspect of our visit.
The condescending waitress did nothing to improve our visit. The other waitors were rushing around and obviously covered more guests than they should have while still remainkng friendly though. They are clearly understaffed. The wine, which was supposed to be served along with the different courses, was always served late. The desert was almost forgotten, as it took them two hours to prepare and serve the first two courses.
For a restaurant in this price range, poor service is not appreciated at all. We wondered why the poor attitude of the main waitress is tolerated by the owners.
In general not...
