Man in the Moon — Restaurant in Stockholm

Man in the Moon is situated in a charming neighborhood of Stockholm and is close enough to my current office so I've had the chance of exploring the area and visit this bar on several occasions. As they call it, Man in the Moon is a nice Gastropub that promises a good culinary experience, a must-go for a foodie and beer lover, besides it's not every day that one finds a truly cosmic spot to enjoy some space-bites. The avocado chili fries is a personal favorite starter of mine, Tried Salmon stew which was nice and most importantly let's not forget about the big Meat Plate from the grill. The drink selection is equally impressive, with an extensive beer collection; around 30 taps and hundreds of bottles. They also offer just the right amount of wine options to cover a wide range of tastes. It's the kind of place where you can sit back, relax, and sip on your favorite drink. Man in the Moon's staff are genuinely shining with stellar service. While they may be as busy as bees buzzing around due to the bar's popularity, they're always warm, friendly, and more than willing to help and go that extra mile. , keep in mind that the bar can get quite loud, especially during peak hours. If you prefer a quieter ambiance, consider visiting during off-peak hours. However, the only slight downside is the noise level and the pub can get quite loud especially during peak hours, which may not be to everyone's liking. But if you're in for a vibrant atmosphere and don't mind the buzz, it shouldn't be a deal-breaker. And if you’re like me and prefer a quieter ambiance, consider visiting during...

A Lackluster Landing at Man in the Moon Gastropub

Ah, the Man in the Moon—sounds celestial, doesn't it? Picture an old-world pub with all its nostalgia, then crank up the decibel levels to "rocket launch," and you've got the atmosphere here. The sonic boom is so intense, you might as well be having a tête-à-tête with a jet engine.

Oktoberfest was the theme of the month. But it felt less "Munich beer hall" and more "corner store costume section." What should have been an engaging cultural pit-stop ended up as a roadblock on the highway of authenticity.

Culinary Conundrum The Wurstplatte? Call it the "worst platte." This dish aimed for Bavarian brilliance but landed squarely in Meh-ville. The sauerkraut felt less like a zesty sidekick and more like a reluctant accomplice in this culinary caper.

Now let's chat about the server—about as hospitable as a bouncer at an exclusive club. The kind of service that makes you reconsider the social contract behind tipping. An eyebrow raise here, a curt word there, and voilà! You’ve got yourself an experience to forget.

In a city known for its diverse culinary delights and intriguing nightspots, the Man in the Moon falls woefully short. If you’re in the Vasastan area, there’s an entire galaxy of better options to explore. This lunar expedition is grounded until further notice.

In summary, this Man in the Moon voyage is no Apollo 11; it’s more like a crash landing with no hope for recovery in sight. Aim for the stars, friends, but maybe give this lunar...

Don't bother, it may have an impressive beer menu and on the face of it a half decent food menu. However standards in the kitchen leave a lot to desire. My wife ordered mussles, what arrived was not what we hoped for, more than half of the mussles hadn't opened. We raised this with the manager, the dish was replaced with a second round of mussles, again the second attempt was disappointing as a similar amount of mussles hadn't opened. I prized opened one mussle, it definitely had an off smell. The chef failed to check both the first and especially the second attempt to check if the mussles had opened. I think the pub had received a bad delivery or hadn't stored the stock properly, but the chef should have checked...
