Met up with my partner for lunch today. We wanted somewhere close to the lovely cherry blossoms in Kungsträdgården, in the sun so we noticed there were a line of little outdoor restaurants along the square. We were tight on time so we went with the one with the shortest line.
This was Catalana. We managed to get here with only a few people before us and lined up to order our food. We ordered and were given our number to place on the table while we waited for the food to arrive, except there were no tables.
I had to awkwardly stand with my coffee watching customers while they ate for any sign of movement from a table for at least 10 minutes before a table became vacant. This seemed really badly organised. Some people who were waiting in front of us were still waiting when there food was being brought to them so they had to awkwardly eat inside beside the ordering station.
After getting a seat, it took another 15minutes to receive our food.
I ordered the lunch special of fish and chips, while my partner got the burger.
The burger was good, nothing amazing according to him.
My fish was lovely, but let down by the tartar sauce, it was mostly mayonnaise.
Overall the place was ok, nice location, nice food. But wouldn't be a place i would recommend to a friend.
-2 stars for the incredibly unorganised seating. They should know what tables are available before taking any orders. read more
