Knut bar — Restaurant in Stockholm

We wanted to try some dishes, but it was so crowded that we preferred to order to takeaway.

Unfortunately they told us that it only could be pizza. Ok, we ask for pizza but unfortunately (again) after waiting quite long next to the nasty toilets, they tell us that they ran out of pizza boxes and suggest that we stay. During that time a couple of tables got empty.

Unfortunately (again), we already ordered pizzas with the idea of takeaway and we wouldn't be able to taste the dishes despite staying.

The restaurant is a bit small, but they added seats on the windows with high tables so they can fill it with more people, but it makes the space too tight. I don't think it is the best way to enjoy good food

The pizzas were tasty and with a surprising crunchy base. It was interesting, but also makes incorrect to call them pizza indeed. Pizzas have a specific type of base and if you change the base, they receive other names. These so called "pizzas" were closer to a coque as they were using the typical swedish crunchy bread (spisbröd or knäckebröd), but good anyway. And it was hard to cut them with the provided knives. Mine had reindeer meat.

Personnel was nice and continuously pending of our needs despite all the previous mistakes, but they could have offered some compensation for all the mess. Nor a dessert or a drink was offered.

At the moment of paying you can tip, but you are not obliged and they don't tell you anything nor take it bad as I have read from some reviewer. You tip if you want and if you feel that your experience deserves it, nothing more. If you don't, they will be gentle and...

Cozy interior has a bit of a bohemian vibe to it, though I ate outside on the sidewalk.

In the appetizers there was a rich and creamy chopped egg + herring salad on brioche with a flavour-punch dill gelée, and a charcuterie board of house cured and smoked meats. the board included moose pastrami, deer sausage, smoked deer heart and smoked pork loin. all thr mrars were flavourful and had great texture, with the two deer standing out. The small piece of #västerbotten was big enough to make me fall in love. I had never heard of this cheese, but there will definitely be a big hunk in my bag for the trip home!

For mains there was a flatbread "pizza", which while very tasty, was a little rich and heavy, and a venison ribeye served with roasted corn cream (I am going to spend the fall corn season trying to recreate this… so good!), some veg, an odd-but-tasty deep fried pearl onion & basil gremolata. The ribeye is probably the best main ingredient have had in a long time.

Wine selection was small but covered a lot of ground, and quite affordable.

Finished with some coffee, desserts and @highcoastwhisky, a Swedish distillery.

Staff were all friendly and helpful, and patient with ensuring I understood even though I know zero Swedish.

Great portion size, fresh and house-made ingredients. Very satisfying meal...

A combo of tradition and creation, this place offers wild meat with a modern touch. The food portions were generous, we barely finished our mains after the starters. The cold cuts preserved the aroma of different types of wild meats, and removed the odor perfectly. Each meat offered different texture and flavor, and the blackberry chutney neutralized the heaviness of the meats. The creative pizza was a pleasant surprise. The moose meat matched perfectly with thyme mayonnaise, and the texture was crunch with the thin pizza dough. Together with Västerbotten cheese and berries, this dish brought new experiences to traditional Nordic flavors. The improvement could be done at this place is that the service was very slow. We waited for more than half an hour to get the starters, and another half an hour to get the mains. Also the tables were too close to each other, we have to excuse our neighbor table to make any movement...
