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.

Dear Craig, This is an excellent restaurant for a peaceful…read moreevening with your wife. The food is very fresh and the combination of flavors was perfect. The other trend with the food is that all items were succulent. The beet and cheese starter was the most unique flavor.

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!

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!

Dropped by here on our last day in Stockholm without reservation on a Sunday night at around…read more6:30pm. We chose this place since it was 1min walk from our hotel and were actually recommended to this place by our taxi driver. We (party of 2) were seated at the bar without any wait. Ambience/interior was amazing for our last night. We ordered the toast skagen (full size) + meatballs, both were delicious (though for lactose intolerant ppl beware, as my friend and I both felt extremeeely bloated throughout the entire night afterwards), probably one of our best meals in Stockholm. Prices were slightly on the higher side (esp for the toast skagen, which has 4 halves of toasts), but overall great for a lighter meal + vibes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Very bustling and crowded spot on weekends, make a reservation as I had to wait a while to get in. I asked for Fanta and got "Zingo" instead, it was pretty good. I ordered thier seafood "casserole" which is actually a soup with chunks of fish and mussels in a tasty broth, I enjoyed it although I felt the quantity wasn't enough. The server was very friendly, gave us bread and a craft of water rather promptly. Our only issue was getting our main course, it took almost more than a half hour, I did not want to spend more than an hour here, I had already finished my Zingo by the time the food was brought. I couldn't resist. Someone else paid my meal so can't comment on the price. But like anywhere else in Scandinavia beware when you order alcohol as it is very pricey. Once you get through the young hipster weekend crowd and sit down you'll have a pleasant experience, hopefully the food wait doesn't happen often.

The pork belly is outstanding. It's not always on the menu, but if it is, don't even bother…read moreconsidering any other dish: just put the menu down, and order the pork belly. As much as I spent most of this trip to Sweden complaining about how expensive everything was, their pork belly was just an amazing rendition of a ubiquitous dish that it seems like any self-respecting restaurant thinks they must offer. The execution of a particularly generous serving was stellar: an absolutely crispy skin overlying bite after juicy bite of pork beneath. The caramelized apples were also great, elevating a familiar pairing in a way that I just had not tasted before. I went back a second time in hopes of closing off my Swedish trip with the same dish, but unfortunately had the meatballs (this is how I found out it's not always on the menu). Nothing spectacular there - pretty standard as I've had elsewhere, but not bad. And certainly nothing like the pork belly.
