Yummm. It was the first night of our weekend trip to Stockholm and all of the other restaurants we checked 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. read more
