Overall, the food quality was disappointing for me, no highlight on the table, everything was plain (“lagom” in Swedish). The environment looked beautiful, but the echoes were super loud and made it very hard for me and my friends to hear each other even though we were on the same table. The sill (pickled herring) was nothing special, if you are just looking for some “lagom” herring, here is the place. The deer meat was tender and juicy, however the red wine sauce was terrible, you could only taste the salt flavor, nothing else. Plus the feta cheese topped on the deer was supposed to enhance the whole dish’s flavor, yet it was only enough for two bites. The Doppsko was way too greasy, you will feel extremely heavy after eating it. The meatballs were ok though, not in traditional size and density (huge in size and firm in texture), yet the flavors were not bad. In general, it’s NOT a good place for good chats and decent Swedish cuisine.

I had a lovely dinner at Pelikan. The selection of herring (starter) was exquisite. Potato dumplings (main dish) were nice too. I was particularly impressed by the herring starter. There were four different varieties of cured herring; cured with sweet vinegar, herb-based (dill?) sauce, one with chopped onion, and another one that I couldn't quite identify. The potato dumplings were much much nicer done the name might convey. The dumpling skin was chewy and was different than Anything else I have taste it before. It was not quite like Italian ravioli, gnocchi, or various types of Chinese dim sum dumplings. Veggie-based filling felt quite meaty. I believe it's based on mushrooms. Spinach, mushroom, and lingonberry provided nice variety too, although the oil (butter?) that The dumplings are swimming in was a little bit much for me.

Ate some very tasty meatballs here a few weeks ago when some friends visited from the States. These are some huge meatballs! The biggest in town, in all likelihood. And they were served in an impressive, light-filled atmosphere with a good mix of gravitas and approachability. We arrived right at 12 so there was no wait, but they do offer a reservation system if you arrive later, which is welcome. The meat-based balls were very tasty. That said, we also got the potato-based ones which left a bit to be desired—there was a sticky sort of texture that was closer to glutinous rice. This was not enough to detract from the other aforementioned attributes, about which I feel quite positively. Overall a good place to bring out of town visitors with some Huge meatballs.

super tasty meatballs. well seasoned, great texture, great portion sized, gravy was delicious, mash was great, lingon and pickles went well. also got the 11 hour porkk knuckle with three mustards, super tasty that one, ans if ones not enough they offer u another. felt like a feast. the mashed swedes that came with it were amazing. got the carnegie ales ales which were a hreat thirat quencher. we booked an hour before for 7:30 on a wednesday. lucky we did because it was pretty packed on arrival. also got the swedish cheesecake which was something new for us. was it worth the money? hmmm i dont know relative prices in stockholm. those in attendence though seemed to be mature swedish people and or tourists... so must be gold right.

Summary- Reservations required. Great food and drinks. Best fish that we had in Stockholm. Located in a famous old building. Service could be better. Details- We had the Duck liver and pork knuckle terrine, pan fried Arctic Char, and steamed cod loin. All three dishes were excellent. My wife and I loved the cod, perfectly steamed. For drinks, we had a Vesper and OP Andersson aquavit. The aquavit comes in a small carafe in a bowl of ice. Nice touch. The restaurant is popular especially on weekends. Service could have been better. Our waitress was friendly, but she would disappear at times to go outside and smoke. Also, the restaurant lacks ventilation. Gets warm. It is a 5-minute walk from the Skanstull metro station.

The Best Traditional Swedish Meatballs If you’re visiting Stockholm, one thing you absolutely must not miss is dining at this restaurant. It’s been around for a long time and specializes in serving traditional Swedish cuisine. There are many tempting dishes on the menu, but for me, the highlights were the Swedish meatballs and the mushroom-filled potato dumplings — both were absolutely delightful. Pairing the meal with a glass of local draft beer made everything even better! If you want to experience authentic Swedish food, this is definitely the place to go. The staff were very welcoming and gave excellent recommendations. Please note: it’s highly recommended to make a reservation in advance.
