    Stockholm w/ fish meatballs.
    Mei W.

    I can only think of positive things to say ! Not sure how close this to a proper Swedish meal but from a tourist amateur taste palette, it's pretty damn delicious. I had the Stockholm w/ fish. Three fish balls were surprisingly enough because it's paired w/ rice, potatoes, onions, and sauce of your choice! The staff was also really helpful in explaining the sauces & recommended me the more popular choice on the menu. I can't wait to come back and have this again.

    Okey, now I've been here three times so I guess I'm entitle to grade this place. You enter this tiny place which they've actually used the space very well. It's an open kitchen/living-room solution sharing the small space with the employees. The menus are creative and there's flavored that you normally don't find in food in Stockholm at a place like this. You bring the utensils, water glass and some paper towels to you table. I decided to climb to the top of the restaurants seating stairs creation. If you are into eco-food, locally produced etc then you have come to the right place. Today I asked for something to fill my stomach since I was really hungry. They recommended the special called Ramsele (120sek), a plate with 3 micromini tiny-sized meatballs, iceberg lettuce, walnuts, carrots, onion and other raw-food things and a sauce. The food was a bit salty and a bit too much butter flavors, but it's all good and quite interesting.everything is like always really nice presented on a rectangular plate. Problem is when I ask for something filling I'm counting on that I will leave a happy pancake. But no, the plate consist of like 30-40% of this cheap iceberg lettuce and the meat was probably no more than 40grams. This place is not a value-for-money place at all. Come here for a snack, not for a full meal if you don't want to fill up with bread. Personally there are many other restaurants that I can recommend which are much better.

    This is one of those places where the colors of your plate scream "Healthy food!" And it's not only that, everything here is delicious, fresh and organic. Straight from Scandinavian farms. Highly recommended. Come here and you will not regret that you did.

    STLM meat.

    Easily the best meal we had in Stockholm. The employees were incredibly helpful. The meatballs were so tender and delicious. The roasted veggies were colorful, bursting with flavors and beautiful. I would recommend the remoulade sauce. No idea what's in it but damn it's good. If you're in town, don't miss this spot! They have options for omnivores and vegans alike.

    Fantastic fast food. The Stockholm dish was tasty. I wouldn't get the meatballs again bc they tasted like breakfast sausages. Everything else was so good that I still give 5 stars.

    Enjoyed a delicious meal of meatballs with beet salad and horseradish sauce that was to die for. Our 13 year old scarfed it down!

    I tried the "Oslo" with meatballs and it was super delicious (especially after a nice yoga class).

    Back again. As good as ever. And how DO the Swedes enjoy sitting at the picnic tables? It is 22…read moredegrees. Got the usual, the herring with mashed potatoes, three sides,and a piece of rye crisp. We had the pickled cucumber, lingonberries and cremefreche salad. Nice serving but I wanted more. IT IS SO GOOD. But we are here for a month so I WILL be back. I meant to take pictures of the food but I was too anxious to eat. Friendly service as always. Nicely packed to go. We have been coming here for years and I highly recommend.

    This unassuming food cart offered me one of the best meals I had in Stockholm. Simple, yet…read moredelicious. I'd never had fried herring like this before. I'm so glad I tried it. It's pretty much a one person show from what I could see. The owner attended to me efficiently and without the slightest hesitation. I'm sorry to say that I don't speak Swedish (I wish I did I can tell you) but he was able to communicate with me and for that I will always be grateful. My plate had, if I recall correctly, four breaded and fried herring fillets. It had a coleslaw (which I found a surprising addition, creamy mashed potatoes, pickled cucumbers, red onions, and a little wedge of crispbread. I loved every bite. It was a generous plate. I particularly enjoyed eating a combination of the potatoes, cuke, onion, and fish on a corner of the crispbread as I munched away. There are a few nearby picnic type tables. So there was a place I could sit and enjoy this meal overlooking the water and a corner of the old town. If you find yourself in Stockholm, do yourself a favor and go to here. Even if you think you don't like herring, try it this way. I bet you'd be surprised.

    We wanted the traditional meatballs while in Stockholm, they were very good and the lingonberries…read moresuch a nice touch. Cute restaurant, nice seating outside also but we were cold.

    We are creatures of habit. You find a good place with more natives than tourists, fantastic food…read moreand good lunch prices, and you keep returning. It is 18 degrees and my body says it is 4AM but I WANT THIS FOOD. I am really hoping today's selection will be swedish hash or this fish soup. Nope, but swedish meatballs and salmon will nicely fill our bellies. Your lunch comes with a small salad bar, bread, coffee, tea, lingonberry juice and I see cookies hiding. Grab your tableware here. The 5 Swedish meatballs came with mashed potatoes, pickled cucumbers,lingonberries,and brown gravy. A nice chunk of salmon came with baby potatoes, grilled asparagus and bernaise sauce. Both meals delicious.Hubby and i tend to share our meals so we each get to taste each other's. I dont think it is customary to leave a tip in Sweden but the machine asks if you want to leave one. I went with 10%. Total cost out the door for 2 delicious and filling meals was just under $40. That is $20 each for you non math people:) We will return. I am still on the hunt for that fish soup. The menu is posted outside. Those are your choices for the day which includes a vegetarian choice. Staff is very welcoming and speaks English. I HAVE BEEN COMING HERE FOR YEARS.
