As I am a tourist, I got that crazy milkshake with a cinnamon bun on top of it just for good measure of course. The cinnamon buns in Sweden are obviously exceptional as they originated from there- crunchy on the outside and warm, melted, soft cinnamon goodness on the inside. The waffles are delicious as well, regardless of which waffle you get. All in all, this is a great place to go to if you're visiting Stockholm!

I'm not sure what Swedish waffles and 1950s diners have in common, but this place makes it work for sure. We came in on a Sunday morning, and were able to get seated right away. My cousin and I both had the raspberry waffle with whipped cream (75 sek, approx $8USD.). The waffle was perfectly crispy and the jam was delicious, but it wasn't a particularly filling for the price, really just a treat. They had fancier offerings as well, for a bit more money, as well as savory combinations. I overheard from a neighboring table that you can order a waffle with both whipped cream and ice cream. Where was this information when I was ordering? Oh well, next time. I would visit Älskade Traditioner again, but perhaps only for dessert. Alternatively I may try one of their savory options for a full meal.

We heard it can be difficult to get a table, so we went in the middle of the afternoon. When I say we had an incredible, traditional Swedish meal, I am really underselling the experience. We had the pickled herring starter and it was so unique and interesting. Each bit of herring was prepared a different way. I was full from that, but we pressed on. Meatballs and gravad lox were to die for. After that, I'm not sure why anyone eats a berry other than lingonberry. We joked with our server that it can be hard to serve an American a meal they can't finish, but they were clearly up to the task. She smiled and said they were proud to stay true to traditional Swedish food and it was a hot spot for locals. We haven't had a bad meal in Stockholm yet, so hard to compare, but a must stop if you're visiting.

Dinner starts in a lounge area near the host stand with small bites and cocktails, wine, or water. Next, you go to the dining room and order a drink pairing or drink choice before you are brought to the kitchen and shown the wood fires and see the heat and heat resistant aprons by the chefs and try delicious appetizers with a flaming show as the chef pours the reindeer fat over the oyster, then you are brought back to the dining room to enjoy the rest of your diner. There were 12 courses listed on our menu. My husband chose the non-alcohol drink pairing which featured unique and delicious flavors to go with the food. Like the food, to create the non-alcohol pairings and all the time it can take is truly artistic craftsmanship. I have a limited stomach capacity, so I drank water and enjoyed a sip or two of my husband's non-alcohol drink pairings. Before coming, I was worried based on a few negative reviews that the food would taste smokey and there would be smoke in the air. Happy to say, food did not have a smokey flavor although there was an item like juniper smoked reindeer (tastes like steak). Also, sensitive to air quality, I did not smell or see any smoke in the restaurant and never coughed or had a problem breathing. The kitchen has an amazing exhaust system. Also, hats off to the chefs working all night on open fires; strong and dedicated! Service was on point and explanations were mostly at a good volume to hear what was being described. At the end, you might be asked what your favorites were. Mine were: - Roasted hay, dry aged beef tartar and lumpfish roe - served in the lounge - Flambadau oyster and beurre blanc - for the wow factor of seeing it prepared - Ember baked scallop, spruce shoots and onion - seaweed fired langoustine, celeriac and solaris - sweeter, more tender than a small lobster - Wood oven fired cep mushroom souffle, woodruff and blueberries - dessert and didn't taste like mushrooms which I normally don't like so very interesting - Ember baked almond potato and spun sugar - mini volcano Fascinating, surprising, interesting, fun, and tasty sensory experience. For me, Michelin level cooking is about the layers of flavors they infuse into the food. Ekstedt had that plus in the non-alcohol drink pairing. Definitely worth booking!

Despite being dessert bakery items, nothing was overly sweet and there was a good mix of flavors! Highly recommend this gem of a spot.

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.

We found Taste of Scandinavia - and oh my gosh, I'm so glad we did! They had so many options for food and treats that all looked absolutely delicious. We'd been traveling all day so we might have over ordered for our grumbly stomachs. We both got the Swedish Meatballs with lingonberry sauce, and they were to die for. The meatballs had a delicious gravy on them and were so tender and flavorful. Dipping in the lingonberry sauce gave it a nice sweet/savory mixture. The Swedish Meatballs came with a side of mashed potatoes and those were also super tasty. Smooth, like they were whipped potatoes, but with a few little chunks in there for a good texture that's not too wimpy. For treats, we got a little yellow cake muffin that had cream cheese in the middle (yum) and a pink donut that was definitely not bought at the corner grocer. It was sooo soft, delicate, and not too dense like some donuts can be. Is this high end dining? Not at all, but is it so good that we went back for lunch before our rebooked flight the next day? Yes sir!

I had the Swedish meatballs plate that came with mash potatoes and their gravy along with a little cucumber and cranberry sauce. The Swedish meatballs is what I know Swedish food is well known for back home at IKEA. Everything was delicious! The meat quality tasted different and fresh. Best mash potatoes I ever had. I also had the chocolate muffin, the cinnamon roll, and a small strawberry smoothie which was also good, but pricey for the quantity. My Swedish meatball was like 20usd without a drink when I compare it to my country and I lost money exchanging from euros to pounds. Then the worker told me they accept euro too. Wow wish I knew sooner. Not sure why people give it 1 star rating, maybe depends what you order and the price seems unfair.

A very sweet staff member came out almost immediately with menus, and we wanted everything. They have pastries and sandwiches and coffee and ice cream (there were a few girls sharing a banana split not too far from us). We got a couple of cappuccinos, a Sigtuna donut (turns out that a Sigtuna donut is pretty similar to a US glazed donut, only way better - that lamination in the dough made it fluffy and light), and a lox open-faced sandwich. Full of charm, do not miss a stop at Tant Bruns if you're in Sigtuna!
