Stockholm Fisk — Restaurant in Stockholm

Excellent Dinner at Stockholm Fisk

My wife and I had a fantastic dinner last night at Stockholm Fisk. We arrived around 5:45 PM without a reservation, but the staff kindly accommodated us with a lovely window table for two. We always joke about how "pretty people" get the window seats to attract customers, so we had a good laugh! Our waitress let us know the table was ours until 7:45 PM, which was perfectly fine for us. We started with two cocktails that were as delicious as they were beautifully presented. The RHUBARB (Pink Gin, Rhubarb, Lemon, Rhubarb Syrup, Egg White) was a delightful and refreshing choice. I opted for the SPICED HONEY (Ginger Vodka, Grand Marnier, Drambuie, Honey, Lemon), which was wonderfully flavorful and unique. For our main courses, my wife chose the CURLED SALMON (305 SEK), served with dill-stewed potatoes and lemon. She absolutely loved the cured salmon, finding it perfectly complemented by the creamy potatoes and bright lemon. I went with the classic VEAL MEAT BALLS (225 SEK), which came with lingonberries, pickled cucumber, cream sauce, and potato purée. These Swedish meatballs were incredibly satisfying and flavorful. Both of our dishes were not only beautifully presented but also tasted incredible. We were thoroughly pleased with our entire experience and would highly recommend Stockholm Fisk to anyone looking for a wonderful meal...

I have been in the same restaurant few years ago and need to say that it much worst. Food: starter a soup that was the best part of food experience very good pairing with the wine. The main dish, a cod was properly prepared but boring with shrimp and egg and potatoes on side, nothing special with the dish how it has been served, i expected something on similar level as the starter so disappointing. I didn’t risk the dessert and finished the dinner. Service: as the hotel guest I was told I can use my discount card and put bill on the room. When we said that to the waitress she was not aware of any discount and we have been verified couple of times by 2 different waiters if we are allowed to have discount. That was embarrassing. And we could not put bill in to hotel room. Another surprise, likely I had a card in the phone so payment was not a problem. Climate: when you are in the Nordic you expect a “hygge”, but this place was very noisy, tables are squeezed, so there when coming there do not expect a private and cozy atmosphere but rather a place with a lot people where you can hear what the other couple is talking about no matter if...

We had a business lunch. Reservation was made a week ahead. One of us was vegetarian and we barely found one dish in the menu that was vegetarian and even that we had doubts about as the name of the sauce would suggest that it could be made from fish. There was no separate section called “vegetarian”. Food was tasting fine. At the end we ordered coffee. The waiter came with a bottle of milk not even explaining what kind of milk it was, not giving a chance to ask as the person was in a rush. While pouring the coffee she spilled the coffee to the table and left without cleaning. My colleague was about to touch the spilled coffee with his arm (suit) and I managed to dry the table with the napkin. One of us was lactose intolerant and when we asked for lactose free milk it took eternity to bring it and by the time the milk arrived coffee was finished as we don’t drink it cold. The face expression of the waiter was as if we owned money to her and it was overdue for several years :) feeling uncomfortable every time we needed to talk to her. So I am not considering coming back...
