Hommage — Restaurant in Stockholm

English:

This Restaurant has a very nice decor. You feel like you are somewhere in France in the twenties. It is located in the heart of Södermalm near Mariatorget (Krukmakargatan 22). The cuisine is inspired by French cuisine. You can eat oysters as a starter for example. It is open from 17:00 and onwards (Tuesday to Saturday).

As mentioned above, the decor is nice, it reminds of a typical provence village restaurant. The entrance is a little bit small and the bar is a little bit "on the way" in, but that is just a part of its' 'uniqueness'.

The service is one of the down sides of this restaurant because it is pretty slow. The waitresses look really nice in their natural and simple old-fashioned look. But if you get there without booking you might be shown to the door straightaway, they don't invite you to the bar for example to wait for a table. The waiters are not very customer friendly, but they are kind. Also they waiters have an original outfit (like from the twenties).

The menu is ok. It all sounds very good on the paper. You can for example eat French classics such as Steak Tartare (with oysters, seems strange to me), steak frites (fries) and moules frites. They also have fish, lamm and classical deserts such as crème brulée.

The prices are "average" for Stockholm, a warm dish costs around 260 or 270 SEK in general. But when you see the food you see clearly that it's over priced, no quality. You won't remember this restaurant for the taste. Don't get me wrong, the food is not bad, but you expect something better. Better salad then tired ruccola, better fries than frozen ones. The desserts are also way too expensive (112 SEK for an average crème brulée).

The wines are ok, you can find good wines but you'll have to pay around 700 SEK. The cheapest red wine (probably not the best) for example costs around 550 SEK.

So I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. Especially if you haven't booked a table. It deserves a 2/5 for me.

J'avais choisi ce restaurant pour son décor. En effet il est vraiment sympa. On pourrait se croire en France dans les années 20 le temps d'un diner en couple ou entre amis. Ce restaurant se trouve en plein Södermalm (Krukmakargatan 22). Il n'est ouvert que le soir à partir de 17h (fermé le dimanche et lundi).

À l'entrée de ce restaurant se trouve un petit bar bien sympa, mais il gêne un peu le passage À mon avis.

Le service est décevant malgré les costumes des serveuses, qui semblent venir tout droit des années 20. Les serveurs ne savent pas trop accueillir les clients. Si vous n'avez pas de réservation, on ne vous dirigera par exemple pas au bar en attendant qu'une table se libère. Vous êtes un peu obligé de partir. De plus, ils sont très lents par moments.

Le menu est sympa sur le papier du moins. Il y a un petit menu français avec des moules frites, steak frites et steak tartare avec des huitres!!! Sinon vous pouvez aussi manger de l'agneau, du poisson etc. Les desserts ne sont pas extravagants, on peut notamment y trouver la crème brulée classique.

Les prix sont corrects pour Stockholm. Un plat chaud coûte environ 260 ou 270 SEK en moyenne. Je trouve que la qualité promise par le décor n'est pas là. Les plats sont bons mais "sans plus". On s'attends à quelque chose de mieux. Par exemple des frites faites maison, pas surgelées auraient un meilleur impact. En plus les desserts sont un peu trop chers à mon gout (112 SEK pour une crème brûlée "moyenne").

Les vins sont corrects, mais pour voir un bon vin il faudra payer au moins 700 SEK À mon avis. La moins chère des bouteilles de vin rouge coûte environ 550 SEK.

Donc en résumé, ceci est un restaurant moyen, avec une belle décor mais décevant au niveau de la cuisine et surtout du service. Je ne le recommande pas et...

Been wanting to come here for a long time and unfortunately it was just a quick oyster pit stop for the premiere visit

The oysters were great though! We came here right at opening on a sunny September day soaking up the last rays of Swedish summer. And we were not alone! Just a few minutes after opening 17.00 the outdoor seating was packed. A great place to enjoy a refreshing beverage and a quick bite.

The oysters themselves have a good deal; 3x oysters for 95 kr och slightly higher to include a glass of champagne as well.

The oysters come with the classic condiments you’d expect and were super fresh

Will be coming back to try out...

The restaurant is cozy with simple and delicious food. A 20something chef single-handedly prepared everyones dinner on a Saturday evening. Naturally, there were delays but eventually we got our food and it was worth the wait. Again, nothing extraordinary, just simple salads and grilled stuff; so don’t expect to see a Michelin star here. In general, service could have been better; staff seemed a bit young and inexperienced but the atmosphere made up for it. Overall great night but a little overpriced for what it’s worth. I.e. they charge 700kr for a bottle of Bourgogne Chardonnay which retails for 165kr at...
