Tapir — Restaurant in Stockholm

Had a pleasant business dinner at Tapir, located on a quiet street in Östermalm, just a short walk from the busier core of the neighborhood. The restaurant has a generous outdoor seating area where I sat, but the tables were placed very close together, which made the experience feel a bit cramped. That’s the main reason for dropping one star on the atmosphere.

The menu is French-inspired with a modern touch. I started with steak tartare and followed up with halibut — both were well-executed and nicely presented. The flavors were clean and satisfying, and considering the price point (especially for the halibut), the value felt right. I did find myself wishing for just a bit more finesse or a unique twist that would really elevate the experience — and if the prices had been slightly higher, that would’ve held the meal back from a full five stars.

Both the FOH staff and wait staff were delightful. I paid 664SEK (without tip), which is about £50 or €60, for three courses, a glass of red, and a postprandial tea. I'd have happily paid double that. There are probably a few places in Paris that do this better,...

A real gem! The place felt authentically French and had a great atmosphere. It was busy even on a Tuesday, but in a lively, enjoyable way. It seemed popular with locals, which made it feel genuine and not like a tourist trap. I hadn’t made a reservation, but they still gave me a lovely table on the terrace, just as I’d hoped. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout. I had the steak minute and crème brûlée, and both were excellent. A charming spot tucked away from the...
