We had great service, that actually didn't take multiple hours which tells me that they're used to tourists from America.

Although Operakällaren has a Michelin Star and air of exclusivity most well-traveled gourmands will…read moretell visitors that the better experience is next door, a tiny space called Operabaren offering classic Swedish dishes at both lunch and dinner inside a storied space dating to 1905. By no means a space for modernity nor a new age kitchen, the interior Art Nouveau from its painted ceilings and gilded molding to heavy wooden seats, guests entering Opera Bar will find most present during the week donning suits, discussion of business occurring in English and Swedish with a security detail even present on this particular day though nothing about the afternoon seemed unsafe or out of place. Able to see part of the Opera House by way of a trip to the restroom, an elegant feel not unlike most European theaters unsurprising, it was upon return to the table that Bread to be taken by hand from a basket was offered, the seemingly odd gesture from a place otherwise so refined nonetheless yielding soft and dense slices of Rye ready to be slathered with Butter plus delicate Crisps. Happy to have strolled through Kungsträdgården Park en route to make room after a busy morning of eating it was eschewing actual Appetizers that a plate of classic Swedish Meatballs started a three-course meal for two guests, ingredients supposedly the same as those next door yielding five small orbs not nearly as tender as those at Pelican nor Meatballs for the People, though the thin Cream Sauce was complex and rich both on its own or atop pureed Potatoes that contained nearly equal parts Starch and Butter. Taking in the scene while dining, an absence of the music ubiquitous in Restaurants today putting more focus on a "who's who" dynamic that clearly saw servers favoring certain tables, it was after a requested refill of Water that plates of Sausage and Quenelles de Brochet arrived, the former a classic Swedish dish with lots of texture that outperformed one past experience at Aquavit in New York while the souffléd Fish fell flat thanks to under-seasoning and Fennel which muted any Lobster flavor in the Sauce. Surveying a lengthy Dessert menu before making a decision, the sizable portions and richness already adding up, it was on the advice of others that Operabaren's Butter Cream and Meringue Cake was selected over items featuring Rhubarb or Chocolate with Walnuts, the results thankfully justifying an entire meal thanks to crisp yet nearly weightless Almond Meringue layered above and below Cream that tasted like sweetened butter but ate like Mascarpone Cheese.

Great host !! 2014 - a surprise and found by chance. got the last table for the same evening when we walked by in the afternoon. feels like you are having dinner with friends. its a small room with relatively few tables, scandinavian design though not "hip" but very comfy and a cross over between swedish and french cuisine. we sure loved it !!

Yummm. It was the first night of our weekend trip to Stockholm and all of the other restaurants we…read morechecked out in the area were fully booked. We came upon this small restaurant and thought the menu looked interesting so we took a chance. Boy, were our tastebuds and tummies so happy. We really didn't know what to expect, the decor was simple, seemed to be all locals dining inside, the other diners leaned towards the older side, only one person working front of house and there seemed to be only one person working in the kitchen. But as my husband and I looked around and noticed the cook books by Alain Ducasse displayed around the place and signed photo of Paul Bocuse hanging on the wall, we started to get a clue of what we had in store. My husband got the elk meatballs because we saw that other diners had also ordered that dish and I went with the baked salmon and pike quenelles in lobster sauce and spinach. Oh my goodness, both dishes were packed with so much flavor. I've never tried a quenelle before and I think it might be my new favorite thing ever and the lobster sauce was just so delicious. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his elk meatballs and the sauce also packed so much flavor. If we didn't have semla on the mind, we would've absolutely ordered dessert because the crème brûlée looked so good. I would dine here again in a heartbeat.

The space is really good for groups as there are many fairly large tables. The decor is perhaps not exciting but it was a nice atmosphere. At our table we sampled a range of dishes and no one was disappointed. The highlights were the Texas chili and the weisswurst. The beer selection was good, around 15 or so beers on tap and probably doable that by the bottle. Some standard stuff hut also interesting choices so should be possible for most people to find something of interest. What really stood out was the friendly and relaxed service that was still efficient. It is actually so good that it made me consider giving five stars but will have to visit more times to see if they keep it up. Good value for money is also a big plus. Will do repeat visits.

I had lunch here with my coworkers. Efficient lunch where you pay first, get bread (one dark, one…read morelight/baguette) and salad (thee different bowls), and then sit down to order food from a waiter. It took a while to get service but when our orders had been receives the food was very quick to arrive. Today we could choose from Wallenbergare, fish with bouillabaisse sauce & rosemary roasted potatoes, bouillabaisse, vegetarian Jerusalem artichoke soup & bruschetta and a low carb option I can't remember. I ordered the fish and it was a good sized portion with a big piece of fish and lots of potatoes. It didn't taste very much though and the potatoes were unevenly cooked. My vegetarian colleagues said the soup was good but not amazing. No one commented the wallenbergare but they went down pretty fast so I guess they must've been tasty. Coffee is included in lunch, served in cheap drinking glasses. No cookies/sweets. My colleagues go here quite a lot so they kind of like it, but it's also right around the corner from where we work.

I loved the concept and the execution, from the raw hamachi to the skewers of fish, to a soup to be eaten on a tortilla-like bread. Each morsel delicious. Drinks were simple but well prepared with great ingredients. Price is not cheap but definitely the food quality makes it worth every penny.

I had a bowl of the fish stew, which came with a side of cream that was like sour cream. I watched some other gentlemen take a spoonful and put it in their soup and eat it. That fish stew was hearty and delicious. They also serve organic beers here and I had a Stockholm Organic Lager, which tasted like a German Pilsner. It's not a huge place, and when we got there, the tables at ground level were full. They have outside seating, but seeing how this was early January, we didn't want to eat outside, even though it is covered (but still a bit open). They have these "stadium-style" seats with little tables, though, and we climbed up there. They have everything partially made, and when you order, they put it together. There were only two people I could see handling it, but service was great. Some of the best food I ate all trip.

It's a very small place, so a lot of people take their food to go. There are a few tables along the window and then there's stadium seating along one of the smaller walls. It's a cool concept, but it's kind of hard to climb up, especially when you're trying to climb around people. It does provide a good view of the restaurant though. It's fast casual, so you order at the counter and they bring your food to you. The service was pretty fast. The food is incredibly good. We did one of the dishes with meat and the other with vegetarian. We got the sauces they recommended with it. It had so much flavor and tasted very fresh. I would highly recommend coming here while you're in Stockholm. We enjoyed it way more than the places you have to pay the times the price.

Hard to find, hard to forget!…read more A newly opened lunch, brunch and catering place in Solna. Prices are in the higher range for the lunch, but its not outrageous. And compared to the quality you get, its probably a pretty good deal. One con is that its not that easy to get here, and if you are aiming for an aw here, you will have to walk it off or secure a close bus stop. Its to early to say, but it looks like topping of a job week here during summer, could be really nice. The place is perfect for a business meeting combined with a lunch or so. They also have a separate meeting room with all the necessary accesories that can be booked in advanced.

We're also not used to the sun setting so late in the summer so we kept thinking it's much earlier in the day then it was. This meant that we found ourselves scrambling to find a "decent" place to eat at 9 something on a Sunday. We walked around to several places that were closed for summer holiday or technically open but their kitchen was closed. They are serious about closing time here. My husband was about to give up and go to (gasp!) an American chain restaurant! But I kept checking and found this little place. It was great! Tucked away on a side street. We had the potato hash brown with roe, baked cod, the potatoes and vegetables and some white vine. It all hit the spot. The service was good. The cod was a little heavy in oil/butter. I wish it had much less. But otherwise, very well done.

They do the classics well, but also offer innovative and fresh dishes that are always delightful. Service is good, too. I love, love, love the small room and intimate vibe of this place. As the other reviewer mentioned, they could probably do with a table or two less and everyone would be a little more comfortable. But hey, if it means my chances of getting a delicious dinner that night are a little better, well they I guess they can leave the extra seating. A solid 4.5 because of the tight seating, but I'll round up to 5 because of the food.
