Nya Hattfabriken — Restaurant in Västerås kommun

Ideally, I'd rate the food a 3.5 . Don't get me wrong, the taste and cooking skill are there, and they are good. But after 3 times I have been to this restaurant, I'm amazed that no other review mentions this: The food is SALTY. It's always more salty than average. Some times it's ok, like the Wallenbergare, but other times it's borderline not eatable , like in the tomato soup. Trust me, I usually love salt, I add it in my food more than the average person.

Great, even superb food and a great staff makes a visit highly enjoyable, however a tad expensive. The Mrs. went for a steak, perfectly seasoned and tasted chargrilled. Strips a bit on the dark side and bearnease sauce with that.

Since I rarely get to eat lamb I was happy to find that it was the slow cook choice of the evening, and boy was I satisfied! Best in looking time.
