Quite tasty, amazing food! (Get the Apple Cake!)…read more On my last night in Sweden I realized that I hadn't had any real Swedish meals. So I reached out to a good friend and she recommended a hand full of places that included Tennstopet! My meal consisted of the Steak Tartare starter, "Today's cut of reindeer" for my main, and the Apple cake for dessert and each complemented each-other perfectly! The tartare was fully loaded with trimmings and tasted great. The reindeer was perfectly cooked and pre-cut, not tough /AT ALL/. And the Apple cake, all I can say is that you HAVE to get the Apple Cake when visiting! The texture is great and the flavor is amazing! Looking forward to visiting again!

Highly recommended authentic restaurant, so we went there for our first Stockholm dining…read moreexperience; didn't know they had a Grill next door, too, but we ate at the main. Old school charm from the kind host who got us a main dining room table despite the otherwise completely packed house to the gracious man who checked our coats. Just got the feeling people who work there are not just good at their job, but simply nice people. Our server was so good, too - she checked in on us gracefully and answering alll our questions with expertise. Beef fillet á la Rydberg was my delicious entree. Crème brûlée terrific closing. Pripps Blå on draught perfect liquid complement. But the culinary highlight was the Toast Skagen apppetizer for 3 (you cannot have enough.) My wife and nephew enjoyed their meals as well. So fortunate to have enjoyed such a wonderful evening.

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.

And although its…read moreright in the middle of the city, they have a small patio outside, which is nice when the weather allows. Unfortunately you cant book a table outside, since its on a first come basis. Interior is pretty cool and very casual and its located right in connection with the Hotel lobby. The brunch itself offer various dishes presented in a adhoc manner. There are smoothies spread out all over, and the offerings are divided by different tables. Quality was great and the variety was more than enough. They put a lot of energy into desserts, so as always, dont forget to leave some room for it! I like the concept and their casual style to present the food. I would sum it up as one of the better brunches in Stockholm atm. How good? Its up to you to decide...

Brasserie Bobonne is a long standing French style favorite at Östermalm. They have now been here…read morefor years and they keep delivering high quality lunches and dinners. The place has a cozy feel and I especially love stopping by in autumn and winter for some soup or casseroles. They also do excellent salads so for spring an summer that is a great alternative. Price wise it is in the mid-range (in Stockholm) but lunches are often good value. Reservations are recommended as the place fills up quickly (they do however have some seats along the window that are for walk-ins). Wine list is not super extensive but what they have on it is carefully selected. The one thing that has not been top class on my past visits is the service. It has been knowledgeable but they have somewhat lost the friendliness that I used to find here. Service is by no means bad or rude so still above the average but not as great as it used to be. While it is cozy it is still not the place for discrete conversations as the tables are close to each other so one can easily hear what others are talking about. To summarize still one of the better French mid-range restaurants in town.

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 really adore this place. I liked it so much that I didn't just go once on my recent trip to…read moreStockholm -- I went twice! On my first visit, this place was such a godsend. I only had 12% battery on my phone and I had no idea where to eat, so I just searched restaurants in the area on Google maps and Smak came up. I immediately walked to the spot and hoped they had room for me. And they did! I was so pleasantly surprised. The server explained how everything worked: all the plates are small/tapas style and represent certain, so you pick how many courses you want (3, 5,7) . Around 3 of the plates represented 1 main course dish. On my first visit, I went with 3 dishes, but was still hungry; the next visit, I did 5 and I was very satisfied, so I suggest doing 5. My favorite dishes/flavors include WASABI ("Kosho" sea bream, cantalope, tomato); CHILI ("Steak Tartare" sirloin, leek, kohlrabi); ASH ("Sous Vide" cod, leek, cream); GREEN CURRY ("Glaze" porkbelly, broccoli, sesame); ALMNÄS TEGEL ("Crisp" chanterelle, venison, rye bread); THYME ("Carpaccio" sirloin, foie gras, brioche). As for the desserts, I loved LICORICE ("Sorbet" raspberry, caramel, white chocolate); SEA BUCKTHORN ("Foam" milk chocolate, star anise); BLUEBERRY ("Tartelett" browned butter, cream, vanilla). Everything was excellent and I wish this place had a location closer to me so I could go all the time. Oh well, I'll just have to return to Stockholm again so I can come back. :)
