I've been to Rolfs a couple of times throughout the years (the last being a few days ago) and I've…read morealways been impressed with the place. Apparently I'm not the only one - since last I visited it is now placed on Michelin's Bib Gourmand list for Stockhom, and rightfully so. Upon entry you'll already feel a lovely blend of Swedish design and quirky aesthetic choices that signal you're in for a good experience. While the interior is tasteful, there are elements like chairs being mounted on the walls and a couple of the seatings being perched up on mounts near the front windows. Everyone who greets you and serves are very delightful, charming, and often funny, which really sets the tone wonderfully. The food itself is on the heartier side but all really well considered and delicious. We had the see bass ceviche with tomatoes (fresh, tangy, and complex) and iberico ham with parmesan (basic but very high quality ingredients), both of which were really delicious. The complimentary bread rolls and butter were really delightful, cooked with a bubbly crunchy texture that was delightful to chew. The main courses included their classic pork confit dish as well as another ibercio pork entree with white beans, cilantro, and chorizo - both were savory and very meat-forward but the star of the show was absolutely those white beans which were prepared in a very savoury sauce. Our total bill including a very good bottle of pinot noir from Napa Valley the bill came to around $240 USD. For the quality of the food, service, and attention to style, as well as the distinction of being a recognized place to eat in Stockholm, I would definitely recommend this place to any traveler who wants to experience local cusine in Stockholm.

The view of the kitchen was fantastic seeing the cooks taste their food before service. Meal started off with complimentary bread which was excellent. The bread was crispy on the outside and super soft on the inside. The butter was ok. Moved on to the complimentary cream of broccoli soup which was flavorful and a great way to start off lunch. Opted for the Ox Cheeks for lunch and it was excellent. This was served with a side of super fragrant truffled mashed potatoes along with super tender and flavorful ox cheeks. The sauce was excellent. Service by the waitstaff was excellent.

We enjoyed our meal at Lilla Ego more and it was about the same price for our dinner and glasses of wine. We still recommend this place as the location is in the beautiful streets of Old Town and it was easier to get a reservation. Hot tip: visit Corner Club across the street for some delicious Mexican and South American inspired drinks before or after dinner. Downstairs is a beer bar and downstairs and in the back is the Flying Elk.

What was a 3-Michelin-star experience in Stockholm like? I was SO pumped for this one since it's…read moreconsidered one of the top restaurants in the world, and at $600 per person without drinks, I was really hoping for some serious food orgasms. There's no doubt the ingredients were amazing and the creativity and execution were impressive. I loved the subtle, almost tapioca-like caviar with just a hint of saltiness, the langoustine where you could really taste the sweet, meaty lobster, and the jasmine ice cream with a thin nutty soybean layer and super light Belgian waffle. The raspberry mocktail with the chocolate cake was also a surprisingly great pairing. But honestly, I was a little disappointed that the food wasn't consistently mind-blowing for that price. Some dishes were too salty, while others had so many flavors happening that the main ingredient got lost. The scallop was just okay at first, but once I got some of the bourbon butter sauce in my bite, WOW. I also loved the lingering corn flavor from one of the appetizers. The langoustine was probably my favorite because everything felt so balanced--you could taste the ingredient itself rather than everything around it. What really made the experience special was everything surrounding the food. From the sliding doors and gorgeous presentation to the incredibly friendly staff, ingredient walkthrough, tour of the prep station, and chefs showing us little techniques, you really appreciated the insane amount of work and precision behind each dish. Watching chefs from around the world work together to execute each course was almost a show in itself. The visuals were stunning, with each dish looking like a little work of art. I especially loved sitting in the lounge for the appetizers before moving into the darker dining room with American oldies playing in the background. It created this interesting contrast of extremely elevated, technically difficult food in a surprisingly relaxed atmosphere. And then came the dessert finale. After the main dessert, they brought us back upstairs and surprised us with even more sweets--chocolates, candied pineapple, macarons and warm, super-light cinnamon-cardamom madeleines (my favorite). The yellow macaron had the perfect texture and wasn't overly sweet, and I loved that they replaced the madeleines when they thought they were getting cold. By then I was stuffed, but somehow hot tea helped me make room. Overall, definitely a top-notch experience and I'm glad I got to experience it. I just wish the food itself had more consistent "OMG" moments Still, experiencing this level of creativity, precision, hospitality and teamwork is something I'll always remember. This was more 4.8 stars considering the price.
