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).

All in all, a lovely restaurant and bar. They take credit cards but not Amex.

Another little gem in Stockholm ! In Östermalm, I found…read morewhile wandering around. I was just looking for a nice espresso martini in a good Italian place. This definitely delivered. The best foam I've had in an espresso in a long time and perfect espresso strong on flavor. I sat at the small bar but the restaurant itself is pretty intimate and nicely lit and decorated. Lots of nice touches. The chandeliers and the wine cabinet against the wall are their main attraction. It wasn't super busy but the staff were nice and efficient. I also tried the a saw salmon roe caviar which came with all the fixings. It was super nice and light and I liked it wasn't so salty. With the lemon and onion it takes in a whole new flavor. Loved this. They offer several different caviar options, yet I had never tried this so I went with new! Had the best espresso martini in town here! Also just loved that a really nice place can exist but you can still feel relaxed and the staff were the same. If I ever come back to Stockholm I'd come back here to eat a full dinner.

I had booked a table for two for lunch at Napolyon, which had recently opened. It was busy and VERY…read morecrowded but other than that, the interior was very pleasant. We were seated by the window, and had to really struggle to get into out seats (that's how crowded it was). The sofa we sat in had a broken back which we were reminded of constantly as it is quite natural to lean back at times... Irritating. Our waiter was overly friendly and made quite a big deal out of giving us menus, taking orders and serving. I had the steak tartare, with some alterations (I ordered 200g for 50 SEK extra, and a big salad rather than fries) that caused no problems. The food arrived within reasonable time. The steak was in the french form of a ready-blended patty (I prefer the neat and clean kind), similar to the one at Bistro Berns. The taste was good and fresh. I appreciated that the meat was cool, not cold - nice! So, plus for the food and minus for the crowd!

Arrived as a group right after the lunch rush hour in this popular work area so the service was…read moresuperb, as it wasn't busy. We basically had the whole restaurant to ourselves at 1:30pm. I was craving escargot snails which are listed on their very minimal menu, but they said that they haven't had a shipment of them for about 2 weeks so I was a bit disappointed about that, which is the only reason I'm removing two stars. It was the only reason I chose the restaurant in the first place and for that, I had brought my friends out of their way for me to get it, which we were unsuccessful :( Im removing the second star because, although I appreciate the fact that they excel in the options that they offer, there are so little choices. Even the dinner menu is minimal. I settled for the French onion soup instead which was nice but not what I wanted at all. I can't see anyone wanting to return to this restaurant after one time

La Gare was a last minute stop in. I was hesitant at first but was talked into trying this place…read more The food is fresh and served hot. I had the cod which escaped my initial view. Once I found the steak, chicken, cod or houlumi cheese meal, I was happy. My fish came with a delicious side salad that was superbly fresh and balanced. Frites and a great portion of cod with a butter wine tarragon sauce. They bring out a heated stainless plate and warn you, "it's a bit warm". NO! It's hot enough to sizzle water drops. It's very hot but keeps your cod and sauce hot the entire meal. The fries were average. I tried my wife croque and that was a very tasty and delicious open faced sandwich. I like this spot and recommend it.

For those in search of an authentic French café, this is the place to go! On my first day in…read moreStockholm, I had planned to eat here - I'd heard extremely good things about it from reviews - but unfortunately the queue was out the door, and the summer weather was too hot for me to stand waiting for long, and so I left. Finally I've gotten the chance to try this place for myself, and it did not disappoint. The servers are efficient and polite, and the selection of pastries, breakfast and lunch when I was there was top notch. I ordered an omelette with smoked salmon and spinach, which came with a side salad topped off with authentic dijon mustard - a rarity in Sweden. For anyone missing the flavour of France, I would certainly recommend La Petite France. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food. The only warning I have is that the seating becomes quite limited at busy hours (breakfast, lunch, fika and dinner), so be sure to plan ahead. The location is in a generally quiet quarter of Kungsholmen (unfortunately there was construction going on right across when I was there, but other than that, it's not noisy at all). Seating is mostly outdoors but also available indoors, and the outdoor tables are surprisingly well-shielded from rainstorms, as I found out by chance.

It's very comfortable and the interior is cool, a bit classy and old style. I would have given it 5 stars if it was only slightly bigger.

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.

Brasserie Bobonne is a long standing French style favorite at Östermalm. They have now been here…read morefor years and they keep delivering high quality lunches and dinners. The place has a cozy feel and I especially love stopping by in autumn and winter for some soup or casseroles. They also do excellent salads so for spring an summer that is a great alternative. Price wise it is in the mid-range (in Stockholm) but lunches are often good value. Reservations are recommended as the place fills up quickly (they do however have some seats along the window that are for walk-ins). Wine list is not super extensive but what they have on it is carefully selected. The one thing that has not been top class on my past visits is the service. It has been knowledgeable but they have somewhat lost the friendliness that I used to find here. Service is by no means bad or rude so still above the average but not as great as it used to be. While it is cozy it is still not the place for discrete conversations as the tables are close to each other so one can easily hear what others are talking about. To summarize still one of the better French mid-range restaurants in town.
