Booked in advance of our trip to Stockholm - they accept reservations online! We had an excellent experience - such a cozy restaurant right near Galma Stan. We opted for their three course special which was a tasty cauliflower and truffle oil soup, a version - potato - and greens combo served on top of a peppercorn and lingonberry sauce, and a delicious chocolate truffle. Complimentary bread and butter to start too! Was a great experience with friendly service. Felt worth the price! read more

We did t have a reservation on a Sunday night but were able to wait for an outside table. A street off the overcrowded parts of the Gamla Stan, this restaurant offered genuine (and delicious) traditional Swedish entrees. It's a small menu and not great for Vegans but the sill, meatballs, and venison were absolutely delicious. We were happy to have found it. read more

Quaint location off a beaten cobblestone stone path in old town (gamla stan) Stockholm. The offer reservation online. Great quick service with friendly staff We got the 3 course meal which was delicious and worth the cost. Started with cauliflower and truffle oil soup, next was the venison main course with potatoes and greens on top of a lingonberry and peppercorn sauce, and for dessert a delightful chocolate truffle. They do have complimentary bread and whipped butter. read more

Our dinner at Kryp In was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Every single part of the meal was exceptional, beginning with the delicious bread served before dinner. The reindeer roast was phenomenal--perfectly prepared and easily the highlight of the night. We paired it with their house wine, an Argentine Malbec, which was excellent.The restaurant itself has a beautiful, very intimate atmosphere. It is clearly a popular spot, as we saw many people without reservations get turned away at the door, so booking ahead is an absolute must. The staff were wonderful, attentive, and welcoming throughout the evening. To finish a perfect night, the chocolate mousse was a huge hit at our table, and I highly recommend Kryp In's mess for dessert. Simply a delightful restaurant. read more

Don't miss this spot! We tried on Saturday night without a reservation & I was sad when we couldn't get in. We went back late on Sunday, & they luckily had a table. Small place with all the local love & flavor! The venison, meatballs, & chocolate mousse were excellent. Much better than we had at another 'local' spot the night before. We've never been to Sweden, but everything felt like home cooked, comfort food. We will be back! read more

den här ar fantastisk restaurang! We found Kryp In by accident after the vegan restaurant we chose was closed, despite very recent positive reviews. It was cold and dark so despite a limited menu (for vegetarians) we stayed and wow! It was absolutely perfekt. Amazing vegetarian soup and baked char - I am a picky and cautious fish eater and this was prepared so beautifully.Tack så mycket för den smaka mat! read more

We loved our meal- a special find in Stockholm with wonderful service, great unique setting, and interesting as well as delicious bites. It would be a special spot anywhere and is particularly outstanding for being so close to history. read more

Don't miss a chance to eat the reindeer roast! When I told our waiter, Tom, I was feeling adventurous and wanted to try something different, he recommended their reindeer roast. I couldn't have imagined that reindeer meat would be so tender and succulent. It was a unique, delicious culinary experience for me, one I'd like to repeat. And one you should try. My wife enjoyed her cabbage dish, while my daughter had delicious oysters on the half shell and sirloin steak. read more

Cute restaurant- we went to dinner early (about 5:15) and without reservations- staff was very nice and sat us quickly. We shared the pumpkin soup - waitress divided the soup and put it in two bowls for us. Soup was outstanding!! We also had the Swedish meatballs which were very good! Had a very nice dinner here. read more

Let me just start by saying my goodness what a hidden gem this is. If our Airbnb was just down the street from the restaurant we likely would have never noticed it and I'm so happy we did even if it set the bar waaaay high for all of our other meals. My friends and I decided to have dinner here a bit late after arriving in Stockholm and although the place was nearly empty we were warmly welcome by our server. We ordered the reindeer stew, the fish casserole, and the three course meal (the only thing pictured unfortunately). We couldn't stop taking bites of each others food or decide which was best because everything was so uniquely amazing. Even the dessert of what was like a flourless chocolate cake was so good we had to order another. Once again our waiter was incredibly kind, welcoming, and has a great sarcastic charm. If you want a comfortable and intimate memorable meal I can't recommend them enough. read more

Would recommend, but not the best food I have on my trip to Stockholm. Rick Steve's recommendation which is why we went then. Sat outside. Waitress was friendly. Had deer, not super tender, but tasty. Had the chocolate cake with ice cream, basically a brownie with ice cream. Best part of meal. Also had the moose carpaccio, it was good, but pricey. The truffle dessert was very good. read more

This cozy spot is tucked away and that makes it comfort, food, staff and ambiance just right. From the perfectly done bread service to a just right 3 course prefix (the cauliflower soup was very well done, as was the venison).

The food was so delicious and the staff was very friendly! Also the whole ambience was perfect! I went there twice!

Amazing Swedish meal in a very cozy and welcoming environment. Perfect for a day of exploring the royal palace, Nobel Prize museum, or simply walking around Gamla Stan. I had a 3 course meal recommended by the staff and was also very fairly priced for a little less than 600 krona. Each item was amazing and it was as if each course was more remarkable than the last. I would recommend going in a small group as the restaurant is very small - I counted 6 or 7 tables inside total with half being for 2. They also have outdoor seating in the side street it's located for warmer months of the year! read more

The fish stew was excellent. Bread was great. The service was wonderful. The chocolate dessert was just OK. Ambiance was nice. Everyone eating there at the time I went including myself was American. I guess that's what happens when this restaurant is included in a Lonely Planet guidebook! read more

It's one of those time and timing is of the essence and one just has to say yes to things in life when you're actually living and feeling alive! These were one of the rare occasions that it felt like I went for it and embraced what my spontaneity had in store for me! Tucked away in the alleyways, I was very charmed to be doing the wine and dine here! Deer meat is a delicacy in Sweden so one must go with that and they conveniently offer the prix fix meal so you don't have to ponder on what to get! I do highly recommend going for it because the set meal was delectable! Our waitress has been there for years and recommended the Tempranillo reserva wine from Spain. It went smoothly well and definitely complimented the deer meat! Their creamy chanterelle soup served up, was a homely starter. Up next, was the deer meat cooked in red wine sauce, which was lightly gamey and tender. Every cut and bite should be eaten with the sun-dried lingonberries and rhubarb compote. The cheese flavored mashed potatoes, made the entree as a whole, complete. Last, but not least, to sweeten the palate, dessert was of white chocolate mousse, mixed in champagne, fragrant in elderflower and served with berries. It was a nice finishing touch to the entirety of the dinner meal. I was charmed here. read more

In the heart of old town, the Kryp In is one of the best places you can eat. Frequently overlooked by the tourists walking by, plenty of locals will stop here for an excellent meal. Many have mentioned the bread basket and I agree, excellent. We came here for some local flavor at lunch. Swedish meatballs, reindeer and fish stew were on the menu. We order all of them and tasted. I had ordered the fish stew and liked it the most. Everything was well presented. Despite its small size they serve a great many people, if you have the chance eat here. read more

Good food and service but higher prices as can be expected. We had the reindeer. It was smaller slices than at slingerbulten. And not as good of flavor. We had white asparagus appetizer. Three pieces for $17. Ripoff!!!! But there was trout roe on it so that is why price was high. Excellent bread basket with white and brown bread. Loved the chive butter. Very nice atmosphere with candle light on your table. They have a few tables outside. Overall great atmosphere, but like the food better at slingerbulten. Free wifi. Clean restaurant and friendly staff. read more

The food is amazing and the service is fantastic. Situated on a main tour area, it's great to sit outside and people watch.

My wife and I each ordered the salmon entree. It came with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and sweet Orange beets. It was excellent. With it was a creamy orange sauce that enhanced the flavors of everything on the plate. I never had sweet beets before and these were wonderful. The fish was perfectly cooked, medium rare, juicy, and very flavorful. A variety of bread was included with a cream cheese spread. . The black Rye Swedish bread was excellent . We ate outside under the heat lamp which made it very comfortable despite the cool weather. The restaurant was full on a Monday night so I recommend reservations. They also give you a blanket if you feel you need it. Service was prompt and friendly. read more

We walked in without a reservation and were happy to get a seat! I read many good things before going here. The food did not disappoint. They started off with a nice selection of bread and butter, which was nice. I ordered the pickled herring for my appetizer, which was served with diced egg, shrimp, red onions, and clarified butter. The clarified butter was a surprisingly nice touch. It gave the dish a lot of flavor and richness. Of course I had to order the reindeer entree. I have never had reindeer before. The preparation was delicious. It was extremely tender, served with mashed potatoes, gooseberry compote, and some micro greens on top. The flavor of reindeer is something I have never had. It was not quite beef, not overly gamey, it was just good! read more

I went to Kryp In on a recommendation from a colleague. It is a pretty small restaurant down a small street with low ceilings and old pictures of Stockholm on the wall. At lunchtime it was a really relaxed, cozy atmosphere. Most of the tables were full and I expect when the place is at capacity, it can feel crowded. I had the Krämig renpasta (Reindeer roast beef penne pasta) and my friend had the Isterband från Sorunda (Swedish sour sausage from Sorunda). Both were very tasty and filling. The Reindeer penne pasta had the right amount of cream sauce on it. It was not drowning in it and mixed well with the Reindeer roast beef. I really enjoy it. The waiter was attentive and the food came out very quickly. The one misfire was the coffee my friend ordered after the meal never came. I will be back to the Kryp In when I return to Stockholm, but the next time for dinner and a bottle of wine. read more

We came here without making reservations on a Wednesday around 7 pm and were lucky. Also it didn't seem to be full. We got a feeling of the staff being stressed. I don't know why it wasn't due to too many guests anyway. We were seated by the window, being winter it was pretty cold so if you are sensitive and cold ask for a table away from window. Ok, we had chosen this place after Yelp-reviews and it could have been so good, if it hadn't been for the food. it was OK, but I guess I had too high expectations. Or just chose the wrong dishes. I had the Duck salad for starter - it was good but too "grassy" (too much salad). The Tournedos w pepper sauce as main - it was soso, too much pepper corns for me in the sauce. My company had the suggested 3-dish meal: Chantarelle soup, reindeer and cheese cake. He was very pleased with the soup and reindeer! The desserts, finally, were a huge disappointment - the cheesecake was not good at all (no sweetness, no flavour) but had a fun presentation (in a jar) and the creme brulee good but the pears was not in my flavour. The cheese cake we didn't even finish - and believe me when I say I am a sweet tooth that never ever leave dessert unless it's tasteless or bad. So, why the four stars still? Well, somehow I feel they are worth them and I just did the wrong choices. Accepts AMEX read more

Great food in a cute alleyway away from the crowds. Took the family --all the dishes were fantastic. Indoor and outdoor seating.

This is a highly-regarded Scandinavian restaurant a block away from the main square. Just A-ok though based on my experience. First off, the server looked annoyed the whole time, maybe she had a bad day. The entrecôte (ribeye) was not tender at all and the sauce, a bit too salty. It was my first taste of Reindeer, which tasted like a mix of beef and liver -- this one I liked. Sorry Rudolph. I see that this is close to 5-stars, perhaps so. Those that rated high, ordered the seafood, I noticed. Duh, I should've done that. read more

This was really highly recommended on yelp so we decided to give it a go. We went there at 5pm when it just opened for dinner service and were lucky they could accommodate us without a reservation. Overall the experience felt short of my expectations. They changed the set menu just 3 days ago so I was really disappointed as I was keen to try the entree and dessert. We got the set menu, fish soup, and veal burger (which is just a meat patty without buns). Set menu consisted of a lobster soup, reindeer, and chocolate mousse for dessert. Lobster soup was too salty and lacked the lobster taste that a good lobster bisque type soup would have. Reindeer was alright, but my mother found it too salty. I like gamey meats so this was fine, but not mind blowing. Dessert wasn't anything special but I suppose you can't really go too wrong with chocolate mousse and berries. It was a pleasant finish to an otherwise decent set menu. Fish soup was nice, nothing to write to mum about though as I've had better and cheaper fish soup elsewhere. Veal burger on the other hand was the best dish of the night! Imagine a giant meatball and that's what it was basically. So don't order this expecting a burger! The meat was tender and melted in my mouth. Overall, I probably wouldn't go back here since it wasn't really value for money. The food was nice but not at such a high price. read more

Kryp In boasts the most authentic Swedish meal I've eaten in Sweden, and also one of the best. I was pretty shocked actually. This place is right in the heart of Gamla Stan in all places which by all accounts is the renown tourist trap with the mediocre restaurants in the heart of Stockholm. That said, Kryp In is tucked away on a small street that few would notice if they hadn't actually pursued it. First, the food. The menu is seasonal and changes with the meats, fish, and vegetables as they come in and out of season. I had the chance to tackle the winter menu which was rich in meats and starchy vegetables (potatoes). The chef took very traditional Swedish ingredients and brought the flavors out in the way only a very focused and strong-palated Swede would. With the lack of traditional dishes in the capital city, I was profoundly inspired by the meticulous detail the chef used in ensuring that the Swedish tradition was maintained. The atmosphere is fantastic. A very old building, with low ceilings in an almost cave like establishment. The service was great and the scene was that of locals and not of tourists (when I was there). I highly suggest taking out of towners here, as it's likely to be the closest to Swedish food they'll get to in Stockholm. However, it's a place to go to with local friends as well for a great mealand I would argue at a price that made it well worth it. read more

I'm rating the food only. The ambiance is really nice, 5 stars. I had their special for the night - a pea soup, the reindeer roast, and the chocolate mousse dessert. I also had a glass of recommended red wine. The soup was just bad. I'm 100% sure they put fish paste in it. Such a strange ingredient that they love here. The reindeer was good, not great. I only came here so I could say I've eaten reindeer. It tasted like prime rib, but with less flavor. No need to ever eat it again, beef tastes better. The chocolate mousse was ok as well. Not sweet enough once you get past the topping, which is a strange trend with many of the Swedish desserts I've tried. It seems they like an overly sweet topping with everything underneath almost not sweet at all. This was no exception. What's wrong with a happy medium of sweetness all the way through? The wine, which was European but not Swedish, was delicious. The bread they brought out as a complimentary appetizer was good, with the white bread option being the best of the variety they offered. The above came out to $77, which isn't that high for the ambiance, but it is high for what was just a pretty average meal. Great place for a date as far as ambiance. Also, great place to knock the "yeah, I ate reindeer once" item off of your bucketlist. read more

Amazingly tasty food and friendly staff in a cozy, authentic space. Got recommended 3-course prices fix. Loved it. Don't miss this spot

On our recent trip to Sweden, we knew we definitely wanted to try some authentic food in the old part of town. Using our trusty Yelp app, we saw very positive for the Krip In and were able to secure a resevation for a very warm and cozy evening meal within walking distance of our hotel. We were seated at a table for two in the back of the restaurant in a small alcove that fit 6 patrons at three tables. The entire restaurant seats no more than 30-40 guests. Perfect for an intimate mood. The mad Russian started with the smoked salmon appetizer and I had the onion soup. Great starters for the main courses that were to follow. She opted for the Char and I had the most unbelievable lamb I've ever eaten. As a matter of fact, the lamb in Northern Europe is the best kept secret there is. So soft and succulent, you can cut it with a fork. I'm convinced that I'll never have better unless I make the return trip. Top those off with a couple of martinis and elder cucumber cocktails, and we had one of the best meals in a long, long time. Two servers made sure we had whatever we needed and were beyond friendly and helpful. A perfect compliment to a truly memorable meal. read more

Everything was absolutely superb. Service was impeccable. We loved it so much we went twice during our vacation. Food was out of this world delish. Absolutely would recommend and would go back if we are ever back in Stockholm. LOVE it so much! read more

This is apparently one of the best, most beloved restaurants in Stockholm. On our last night in the city, my dining partner and I were looking for a place that served traditional Swedish food (non gastronomic, as we had done that on previous nights). Our concierge immediately phoned the Kryp In with his doubts ("I don't think they will have a table, unfortunately...") but he somehow made it happen, (Tak, Sean at Hotel Rival!). It is a teeny tiny place, which was a little difficult for my dining partner, as he is more than 1.9 meters tall, but he managed to "crawl in" to the "nook" (get it?). A very intimate atmosphere. The chanterelle soup was really delicious. Rich and warm. I got the duck. It was served with some kind of mashed potatoes (but I'm pretty sure it wasn't potatoes), some berries (they were blue, not ligonberries), and some greenery. It was hearty and rich and delicious. My dining partner got the cod. It must have been fantastic, because his plate was swept clean. Service was a bit sterile but very professional; I'm not sure if it is the service style of the house or because unfortunately like most Americans we can't speak Swedish. All in all, great meal. We highly recommend Kryp In. If you are traveling to Stockholm, don't wait til the last minute like us; make a reservation in advance so you don't miss out. read more

Excellent. If you are on a budget and still like the experience, check out the weekend lunch options. As a starter you will be provided with delicious bread and handmade butter - must try. I had a vegeterian meal the chef suggested and was very pleased. Soup with croutons, fresh vegs (green aspargus, onion, ...). Afterwards only a double espresso was able to make me move again. Facilities: - Open wifi, nice not to ask for passwords (using it right now) - Only one WC for guests, don't break the door if it's locked read more

Kryp In was so good and so much better than the rest of the places we dined in Stockholm that we came back a second time during our short stay. The reindeer is amazing--truly otherworldly. The duck is fantastic as well. Everything--from the breads to the starters to the dessert drinks--was truly fantastic. That's the mark of a very good restaurant. read more

My absolute favorite in Stockholm. I rarely eat red meat - I don't have much of a taste for it and it often gives me a stomach ache - but when in Sweden, do as the Swedes do: so I decided to try some reindeer while I was here last year. Other yelp reviewers were singing the praises of the reindeer at Kryp In, so I dropped in. They were right! It's tender and delicious and, paired with the mashed potatoes and the berries and marmalade, it sings. As i was leaving, I made a reservation for the following night. And here I am again, in Stockholm for a few days, and this is my first stop. If only they delivered... to the US read more
