I visited this modern brasserie for dinner…read more Excellent interior design, minimal, a bit offbeat. Really enjoyed the mural behind the bar, as well as the lighting over tables, and the sound panels on the ceilings. Creative place all around. The food is what it is, homemade, not challenging, especially, their main course of Swedish meatballs (I had to order this at least once during my first visit to Sweden!). Affordable selection of wines were on offer. Service was friendly and efficient. One cannot go wrong dining here; they have an inspiring bar lounge to visit, too. I waited there until my table became available.

Really solid spot for cocktails. I didn't order food, but the restaurant looks great as well. The…read morebar can get really busy on weekends though, so be forewarned if you are looking for a quieter spot. The cocktails are great and the menu is very informative. Highly recommended!

My family and I stopped by here for dinner where we ordered escargot, duck, foie gras, and beef…read morebourguignon. The best dishes were the duck and the beef bourguignon. The duck was cooked perfectly and paired with a savory sauce and a side of cabbage and grapes. The beef bourguignon was savory and rich and paired with buttery mashed potatoes. The service was amazing and the waitress who helped us was very patient. The interior had a classy feel to it and was clean.

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.

Brasserie Balzac is a French-inspired restaurant on the edge of Stockholm's core. We ended up here…read morebecause our airbnb was on the same block and we had run out of time to go further afield. In the end the meal was fine but not amazing. The decor is very classically french restaurant - dark wood, light coloured surfaces. The menu is also pretty classic, with lots of familiar and inviting dishes. Menu prices were reasonable, but not cheap. Service was patchy. We were there on a busy night, and it took time to get attention. However, the folks we dealt with were friendly and our food came correctly, if slowly. Food quality was ok. I liked my appetizer (pate) as did my compatriots. However, my steak wasn't great - not a great cut of meat, prepared just ok. My compatriots were also not that satisfied. Overall, this was a mediocre experience and I would not return.

Another gem for cocktails in Stockholm!…read more The place was very intimate and charming with a very interesting menu showcasing about 12-15 drinks. Everything sounded delicious and I followed the bartender Johan's suggestion to try the White Strawberry as it met all my flavor notes (fruity, not too sweet, semi strong drink). My friend got the Black currant leaf as she liked something whiskey based and it was a bit stronger than it sounded on the menu. I really liked how the bar/restaurant only sources local ingredients that are in season so the drinks were very tasty and refreshing. We sat by the bar and chatted with Carl and learned so much about the cocktail culture and "dance tax" in Sweden!

Wow! Vilken magisk kväll. Det här var perfektion på alla områden. Otroligt kött i olika kategorier,…read morefantastiska drinkar och vin med en service, information genom hela kvällen och proffessionalitet från Fredrik och Fredrik som håller ett löjligt högt nivå, och som gjorde att kvällen blev så bra som det är möjligt få det. Köttet och maten var otroligt kvalitet och gott. Vi åt en variation så vi fick smaka allt från en svensk entrecote på samma nivå som Wagyu till den bästa korven jag har ätit någonsinn. Vinet Fredrik körde med maten var perfekt match, samt ett fantastiskt rött vin i sig själv. Vi avslutar detta "meal for kings" med en ostbricka och lämnar otroligt mätta, glada och imponerat över nivån. Här blir man utan tvivel stammisar. Tack Fredrik och Fredrik!

First off this place is gorgeous on the inside. You can tell there was a lot of thought and effort…read moreput into the interior design. It's cozy and warm, which will be perfect for those cold winter nights when you've forced yourself to go out and be social. Like any run-of-the-mill pub in Stockholm, you have loads of regulars, lots of beer, and the standard food (pizza, kebab dishes, burgers, plankstek, etc). The pizza looked super good, but I wanted to try the plank steak. So glad I did, because it was delicious! The meat was very well cooked and the presentation was beautiful. The garlic butter underneath the fresh mushrooms? WOW! That really took me by surprise; it was tasty! The potatoes could've used a bit more salt and to cook for a little less time, but that didn't ruin the dish for me. The bacon wrapped asparagus is my favorite part of plank steak, so I wish there had been more of it. The dish filled me up though, so no complaining from my end. The staff is super friendly and you can tell they love what they do. All my questions were answered politely and with smiles (and I can ask a LOT of questions!), and the service was fast. I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're by Solna Station. It's easy to miss because Basic Bar och Kök is closer to the station, but walk just 1.5 more blocks and you're there. I will have to visit again to solidify the 4 star rating, but so far so great!

First real visit to Le Rouge, we had desserts and coffee. A signature of ours. I am a big fan of…read moreanything with chocolate and cherries in it and they had a dessert just like that. My companion had the fall apple dessert which was nothing short of divine. We were welcomed home by our favorite bartender, upon arrival and that in itself is a good base for a lovely experience. The place is cosy and romantic, but seeing as how we were seated in the bar area we didn't get the whole nine yards. The service was fantastic, the desserts and coffee were better than we had anticipated and the most important bit (to me) is the bathrooms - which are always in tip top shape. We haven't eaten any food there, yet, so I will have to update this when the time comes.
