Small and well-situated along one of many narrow streets in Old Town, an outside patio empty on arrival with only two young women inside chatting while a clerk who appeared Indian went about his business after a smiling "Hej," it was after browsing the small selection and asking a few questions answered in excellent English that four items were picked, a fifth added for free in the form of a white star. Taking items elsewhere to enjoy, the Bakery a bit warm given its small size and ovens, it was after pictures were snapped that the complimentary Kokos Blomma was tasted, the flavor of Coconut quickly flooding the mouth though the texture was chalky and unpleasant enough to discourage additional bites. Improving slightly henceforth, the Cinnamon Roll nicely flavored but expectedly dry considering its limitations in terms of ingredients, it was with intrigue that exceedingly moist Carrot Cake was tasted, the bitter Greens presumably Tops or perhaps Kale and the sweetness likely from Figs while a slice of Pie featuring Pears and Pecans was a highlight despite its soggy Crust. Lacking most of the traditional Pastries sampled elsewhere in town, a "Rawfoodbol" saved for last standing in for Sweden's ubiquitous Coconut-covered Chocolate Balls, it was not the Nuts so much as a the grainy Cocoa center that left all but one bite uneaten alongside at least 50% of everything else save for the Pie.

Felt a bit like a college frat party. Almost skipped it, based on that underwhelming evening, but had to give it another shot late upon an icy and still midnight clear in January. Just amazing...Perfect soundtrack. Sat at the bar to watch the crew, which builds drinks with a bit of panache & showmanship. Started with their Whisky for the Holy Ghost and it was in fact a religious experience: Ghost bourbon, amaretto, Maurin Quina, bitters, salt and served in a chilled corked flask topped with smoke that lingered and really added to the ceremony & taste. My fellow penitents had tasty espresso drinks. It was the second round, however, that was truly memorable. I asked the mad genius behind the bar to concoct an extemporaneous "riff on a Sazerac." Maybe lost in translation, and ended up with more a riff on a vieux carre, but what a riff it was! Michters Rye, calvados in lieu of cognac, a healthy dose of some kind of floral bitters, a few other bitters and a sazeracky absinthe spritz.

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!
