Found this pub in Old Town Stockholm when we went to watch some weekend football matches (European…read morenot American). The pub itself had a good vibe where everyone was friendly and genuinely enjoying themselves. The decor of the pub was a lot of a lot of pub signs and usual things that you would find in a pub. It has a small but pretty cool layout when you could go down some winding stairs and find yourself in another seating area. Because of the pubs popularity and game time it was very packed in the bar area but the bar tender did a good job of attending to everyone. As for the food I enjoyed the fries we had and the vegan burger was alright. As you know my ratings go off of the expectations of how the place rates against similar places so as old school pubs go this was good, but do understand that typical old school pubs aren't well lit, don't have all balanced tables, and great seating in the entire place to enjoy the game. So if you're looking for those things you might want to check out some other places.

Even though the main area where the band sets up is a tight squeeze, it helped us to make friends with locals fast and had a great time. The FREE music is awesome too. I hated the fact that the bartender measured my gin when I asked for a G&T, but what the heck! this is Scandinavia right? I need to pre-game at the hotel next time before going out.

You can order QR code style at your table or flag down a server, but we'd have our drinks at our table not even a full minute after paying in the app. A great spot to watch the football game, chill in the moody grotto-esque downstairs, or listen to live music.

Plentyful of seats, so even on a Friday AW you will find a decent table. Staff is friendly and super helpful. Ask for a sample if you fannot decide or do not want to "blind buy" a nonfamiliar beer. ESB is always a sure hit! I do not know if they found a place with most of the decor right or if they did it all from scratch - but you will feel at home if you are used to and like Bishops style. As for food, I seldom eat at BA, they are OK I guess, in general, but I can't say anything particulary for this place. I will certainly find my way back next time in Stockholm, and The Liffey now got a competitor. They accept AMEX.

After reading mixed reviews my boyfriend and I were a little hesitant to check this place out, but…read moreI am so glad we decided to keep our reservations. Both of us were looking to try some fish in Stockholm and The Flying Elk's fish and chips did not disappoint! The cod is very well battered and fried perfectly, the fries are great as well, and it all comes with a great curry mayonnaise for dipping. You also get some house-made pickled vegetables that add a great acidity element to the meal! We both enjoyed a couple beers and walked away super satisfied. We originally had reservations for the main dining room, but wanted to check out their "back bar" after doing some research, and I would highly recommend it! The back bar is a little less formal, dimly lit, and gives off a good vibe for relaxing, enjoying a beer, and eating some tasty food. While The Flying Elk is tad pricey I think it's a worth a stop if you're visiting Stockholm!

Superb lunch. Frantzièn is one of Stockholm's premier chefs to experience and wanted to try the…read moremain resto on my last visit but couldn't get a reservation. Like Noma in Copenhagen, Frantzièn is booked for months at a time. Next day, I found his gastropub, the Flying Elk. Here you can sample the cuisine of Stockholm's favorite chef. The space is warm, open windows in summer; it's next to the water-- an optimal space to enjoy the breeze while getting a bite to eat, sample brews, an Aquavit and maybe another dish. And I did just that. For starters I had the Pan fried scallops, truffled scrambled eggs, smoked brown butter, pomme paille, covered with bonito style shaved truffles. Get this. I could have had 3 of these dishes easily. I think this is perfection of sea and earth with layer upon layer of earth manna: scrambled eggs with truffles, brown butter, the thinnest crisp potatoes and to add insult to the experience shaved tuffles on top. The dish wants you think it's Japanese, it's not...but so beautifully earthy, beautifully tasty and beautifully satisfying. My next dish the Veal Schnitzel Björn Frantzén: veal with triple cooked fries, roasted anchovy butter, red wine jus and sorrel salad was a symphony of taste contrasts: the panko-crisp texture of the veal with red wine jus (grapey delicious sauce albeit slightly overcooked cutlet), roasted anchovy butter with triple cooked fries (crisp into unctuous browned butter with a hint of anchovy) and the nicely tart (and teasingly pungent) sorrel salad. For dessert: "Eton Mess" Vanilla ice cream w/ raspberries & pink pepper meringue, strawberry & hibiscus mousse scented with roses . This was my fave dessert this trip. It's not just vanilla ice cream, it's amazingly well made silky yet subtle vanilla ice cream, that framed the summer raspberries; you scoop the strawberry/hibiscus mousse with a slightly pungent pepper meringue, the complex crumbles on your palate and you swear you've never had anything like this. The flower petals and dried raspberries on top of this "mess" sealed this dish for me as one my favorite desserts ever. A sauterne and a coffee later, the day seemed perfect. I loved this dish so that on one of my other visits to Gamla Stan, I ordered it to go, to seal the flavors in my memory as we strolled through the cobbled streets of this magnificent city, giddy. Loved it. Coming back. Visits: 2 Tip: Come hungry.

Kajsas Fisk was included in on our final Stockholm tour and to be honest, I'm not sure if the tour…read more(like many of the other shops we visited with them) chose a bad option for the tasting, or if I just didn't care for their wares. My favorite item was the mini shrimp toast, it was tasty, but no option was given for the person allergic to shrimp and it was placed on the same plate. The honey enjoyed the salmon and I liked the soup (which was salmon free), but nothing I had was something that would bring me back. The service was prompt and the cozy space has quite a bit of seating, but Kajsas Fisk was more of a 3.6 for me and likely not a spot I'd recommend.

This is probably the busiest restaurant in the food hall, but the line moves fast, even on a Saturday for lunch. It is famous for their fish soup. Everyone has to try the tomato based broth with fish fillet pieces, small shrimp and mussels. If you have the baked salmon, it's only for the dill mustard sauce. The portion isn't massive, but the small help-yourself buffet bar for salad and bread makes up for it.

Since I had no need for a CA wine I was offered a very good Barbaresco and some great conversation to mark my last day in town for a while. Great energy, drinks and people.
