The decor is nice, the ambiance is romantic, and the music is terrific. The food is filling and delicious. You can enjoy a meal at the bar or sit at a table inside (or outside in the summer). The staff is friendly and accommodating. A great spot to have a drink or enjoy a satisfying meal from their simple and authentic menu. You'll find a lot of regulars here. All in all, a lovely restaurant and bar. They take credit cards but not Amex.

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.

It's a small place, with tight seating but it actually isn't that loud considering, which is nice. You order your own food at the register and they bring it out when it's ready. The didn't have many beers but they were all nice and a good price. About the same or less as a stor-stark at many other places in the "downtown" area. The mixed drink of the day was really nice -- both a great color and taste! I had the steak frites and it was very good and very reasonably priced. The portion isn't very big but the quality is. All the dishes seemed nicely garnished as well. I felt like trying the dessert and I wasn't blown away but again the presentation was really nice. I went against my inner voice when I chose so that has something to do with it. Met some locals who were very friendly (and it's always nice when a place has the sort of environment that inspires random conversation with your dining neighbors) and they said they come about once a week, so I don't think I am alone when I say it is the type of place you want to come back to. Check it out! *I almost forgot, this place is a highlight on the Dyson Airblade World Tour. It has the only model of its kind I have ever seen and while it's not as intelligently designed as the standard model it is worth checking out! Beware the storm!

Always packed, for a reason:…read more Generous, tasty portions and a nice selection of wines are served in the coziest place in the area. We go there on Sundays when one of us will be on a business trip in the week ahead. Other locals probably have their own traditions ties to this place.

The meat is good quality, and cooked right and served with something decent (okay, usually potatoes of some sort...). The portions are excellent too! And with plenty of bread available to soak up the juice. On top of that, the decor of the place is really nice. It's Vasastan roadhouse classy. When you see it, you'll get what I mean I think. I can't comment on coming here for dinner. It seems much more expensive so might not seem as worth it. But for Lunch it's great!

Friday night, and my last night Stockholm. I wanted to end my Swedish venture with an epic Swedish…read moremeal without bankrupting myself into a homeless person in Sweden. Friday 7:30pm: I made a reservation an hour earlier, I didn't really need to, but better safe than sorry. Storstad's lively front bar area was blasting some Euro Electronic dance music, and the beautiful but chatty crowd was further adding more decibels to the already loud volume. Fortunately, the rear finer dining area is significantly quieter, and even romantic, despite the bass bumping in the background. From the phone reservation to the end of the meal, the staff was friendly throughout, and spoke English better than your average college-less American. 105SEK($11.67) Soup of the Day: Goulash. Best gawd damn Goulash I've ever had in my life. Best in Europe. I should've gone for the larger bowl for 175SEK. Goulash is typically blue collar filler food for the masses, but the additional Swedish spices elevated this average dish to something fresh, innovative, and effing delicious. 275SEK(30.55) Artic Char...I never find this fish in America, so I get when I can. Initially this seemed expensive. But in America, you only get one 4-6oz fish fillet...in Sweden you get 3 4-6oz fillets...YES!!! Cooked perfectly with a nice crispy outside, yet still so marvelously moist on the inside. The accompanying "champagne" sauce danced in sync with the natural delicious flavors of the fish. (Note: the wife ordered the 145SEK "vegetarian" variety plate, it was okay). 475SEK($52) French red wine...I can't remember the name of the wine, but it was the cheapest red bottle available...it was good, and a better value than ordering 4 glasses of wine. Again, this was our last night in Sweden, celebrate! While this all seems expensive to the American perspective, note that the prices includes taxes, and Swedes only expect a 5-10% tip for full service restaurants. Swedish workers are typically paid a living wage. So this is really not much different than dining out in America. I'm 90% sure we were the only tourists in here, everyone else was speaking Swedish. How do I live here?

YUM! We found this restaurant after walking around for about 20 mins in Odenplan. What a…read morewonderful hidden gem. We were seated without reservations and had a great waiter and a great meal! The unique menu offered lots of different types of food and we got pretty adventurous. We all wanted to try the reindeer heart. Although, as Americans we could not stop making jokes about Rudolf. In the end, it tasted like turkey bacon. Who knew?! Also, the mushroom toast was delicious. For entrees, we ordered the meatballs, a fish dish and lamb. They were all wonderful. Lots of locals here and the meal was worth the long walk from the tunnelbana.

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.

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!
