Restaurang Allegrine — Restaurant in Stockholm

The Food – Refined, Memorable, and Almost Spotless

Allegrine delivers on what matters most: flavor, finesse, and attention to detail. Every dish is thoughtfully composed and beautifully plated. The Pulpo Picante stood out as a bold and brilliant starter, deeply flavorful, with a subtle fire that lingers (though not a crowd-pleaser). The frog legs, generously portioned and aromatic, were slightly over-salted and may benefit from a lighter touch next time.

The main courses—the turbot with champagne sauce and the corn-fed chicken with morel and black garlic were both excellent, with sauces so good they deserved to be mopped up with bread (which, surprisingly, had to be requested). A minor bémol: the cheese plate consisted of only one variety (Tête de Moine), well-served but a bit underwhelming for a place of this caliber.

Desserts brought the meal to a strong finish. The theatrical Omelette Norvégienne was visually stunning and satisfying, though slightly on the sweet side perhaps best balanced in future iterations. On the other hand, the lemon sorbet was simplistically great: pure, bright, and refreshing, offering the perfect palate cleanser.

The Wine - A Burgundy That Delivered

The meal was complemented by a 2022 Fixin from Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet. A supple, structured Burgundy that paired smoothly across courses. The sommelier’s approach was appreciated: thoughtful, never pushy, and able to adapt to both taste and budget. The wine itself showed elegance, with enough personality to anchor the meal.

The Price – Bib Gourmand or Something Else?

Here’s the puzzle: while the food was undoubtedly high quality, the final bill landed at €300 for two with roughly €150 on the meal and €150 on wine, including water and à la carte selections. That level of pricing edges well beyond the spirit of the Michelin Bib Gourmand, which traditionally celebrates approachable excellence typically .

In short, Allegrine is well worth visiting for a refined, flavor-driven meal with polished service and a confident kitchen. Just know: it’s not a quiet spot when full (as it was tonight), and after a full day exploring Stockholm, the noise level did catch up with us. A special meal, yes but one that sits closer to fine dining than the “friendly value” Michelin’s Bib Gourmand...

My experience at Allegrine was not good! TLDR- some of the food was good, the service was exceptionally bad.

It took a while to be sat for our reservation, 20 minutes to be acknowledged once we sat and even longer to get wine. We were at the table for an hour before getting olives and oysters that we ordered when we had ordered the wine 30 minutes before…

Some of our orders were forgotten, the ones that were remembered took 40 minutes to be served (small plates) without silverware… we eventually decided to not order mains because it seemed hopeless at that point. Some of the food was very good, some was just fine. We had the Omelette Norvégienne for dessert and it was delicious and very pretty but it also took over 30 minutes to be served. We were there for 3 hours, I can’t imagine what it would have been like if we had ordered main courses 😩. We couldn’t even get a server to look at us to ask for the check, I seriously considered just walking out after waiting so long.

I’ve been to several restaurants in Stockholm with better food, a great atmosphere, and excellent service at the same price point. I’m seeing a lot of reviews with similar stories, so it doesn’t seem like this was just an off night. This place is not worth the $...

Food was very good! Great wine list. Wonderful presentation!

I think we went in with a bit too high expectations, since we had heard it was on the Michelin guide. All was definitely good but not always ‘wow’ per se. The one dish however that I would say was really fantastic was the truffle ravioli, and my partner loved the fresh bread with lemon butter. It was delivered fresh out of the oven.

The calamari, oysters, and boquerones, were good but felt very similar to something you could get elsewhere quite easily. The tartar was great but we both felt like there was a bit too much of the shaved pate on top, 1/2 the amount would have been perfect.

The Pavlova, I was a bit disappointed by. The presentation was completely beautiful, but found the meringue dry, and not really worth ordering.

The wine list was comprehensive, and we both had excellent wine.

Our server was amazing. And everyone working there was lovely. Overall found the food to be varied, but always with excellent presentation. The price was very reasonable for the food we ordered. I think perhaps we were just expecting a different experience. Thanks...
