Everything we had was fabulous. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful as well in terms of recommendations, and we received attentive service throughout the night. For those coming from NYC, it reminds me a lot of Contra. We came with a reservation, but had a brief stay at the bar because they were running a little behind which was totally fine by us (recommend a res). Definitely coming back whenever I am back in the city.

Started off with a couple of stellar cocktails - the verano and rossellini - both were perfect temperature (cooled glasses), balanced very well and drank beautifully. The second set of cocktails we tried were not as good (foamo and the slushy rum and coke), but that's ok. For food, we ordered 3-4 dishes per person and couldn't finish (possibly due to some of the dishes being very heavy). highlights for me were the struva (insanely good), the hasselback potatoes (great texture on these), the salmon tartare (very fun and interesting/creative dish, although a touch fishy), and the sliced raw beef (again fun and creative, great flavors and loved the cheese). The fried perch was also a really nice entree. The fried pork was decent but pretty heavy, and we also ordered an asparagus macaroni which we couldn't finish it was heavy on the palate. Overall a very nice meal, would return to try other dishes. There were no reservations available but tons of walk-in space so don't let that deter you.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience and meal for anyone lucky enough to snag a reservation…read more Reservations open at 10 am on the first of the month for the following month and will go quickly, within a couple of minutes, so for a restaurant 15 years in, is still a hot spot to be. I planned my whole Stockholm trip around coming here, and was lucky enough to snag a solo reservation for dinner the last night of my trip in May 2025. Truly nothing comes close to the overall service & hospitality experience and quality of the food and drinks. I have dietary restrictions (no red meat), that they could accommodate with no problem and even provide a printed menu that represented my exact substitutions, which rarely happens for me. The night I came, Björn Frabtzén received a third Michelin star at Frantzén's sister restaurant in Dubai, becoming the only chef in the world to helm three 3-Michelin star restaurants simultaneously, and my experience here really shows why they are the best of the best. You enter from a lobby and are greeted by a host who will guide you through the experience. I had the opportunity to use the restroom and then got a peak into some of the meats I'd be enjoying for my meal in the entryway itself. You then go up an elevator to the Lounge, where you get your first look at the drink menu and your first bites. Frantzén was one of the first restaurants to really champion this experience of moving from room to room for different courses and it sets an ambiance almost of eating at someone's home. It's casual but decadent and the chefs walk you through all of the ingredients you're about to enjoy while casually chit chatting and enjoying the best canapés of your life. After the starters, you're taken through the prep kitchen and the wine cellar to the actual restaurant, which is a large open kitchen where you get to watch the chefs work while enjoying your meal. I was celebrating my birthday, and despite getting the NA pairing (which was excellent minus one drink towards the end) had so many additional generous free pours of incredible wines and champagne throughout the night. Well worth it, as their sommelier won best sommelier at the Scandinavia Michelin ceremony one month later in June 2025, and some of the glasses they gave me for free were easily $100 a piece. Come hungry, because you'll leave stuffed beyond belief for a 5-6 hour meal (and can always hang out longer if the restaurant hasn't closed up for the night.) This menu is legendary and best to go in without too many spoilers, but I had the best dish of my life - the tear drop peas chanwamushi - sweet, so tender, unreal. Another guest told me they wait all year for pea season to get this version of the dish. After dinner, you move back into the lounge where you're treated to after dinner drinks, teas, light sweets (that they will box up for you if you're too full) and the famous cardamom, brown butter, and Madeira madeleines. These mini-versions of madeleines come in a set of 9, are made fresh to order, and are refilled for however long you want to sit and enjoy the ambiance and chat at the end of the night. I felt like over the course of this part in particular, I made friends with other diners and the staff and had one of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences of my life. Frantzén is one of the best in the world (and if Reddit is to be believed, the very best) for a reason.

Felt a bit like a college frat party. Almost skipped it, based on that underwhelming evening, but had to give it another shot late upon an icy and still midnight clear in January. Just amazing...Perfect soundtrack. Sat at the bar to watch the crew, which builds drinks with a bit of panache & showmanship. Started with their Whisky for the Holy Ghost and it was in fact a religious experience: Ghost bourbon, amaretto, Maurin Quina, bitters, salt and served in a chilled corked flask topped with smoke that lingered and really added to the ceremony & taste. My fellow penitents had tasty espresso drinks. It was the second round, however, that was truly memorable. I asked the mad genius behind the bar to concoct an extemporaneous "riff on a Sazerac." Maybe lost in translation, and ended up with more a riff on a vieux carre, but what a riff it was! Michters Rye, calvados in lieu of cognac, a healthy dose of some kind of floral bitters, a few other bitters and a sazeracky absinthe spritz.

In terms of nightlife, Bleck is particularly great during the summer. They have a huge outdoor area with lights and plenty of communal seating. And heat lamps, you know, because summer nights can still be pretty chilly. Their mixed drinks are also fantastic; I had a vodka cocktail with some sort of lemonade and elderberry mixture which was very refreshing. In terms of food, their menu is very small; we actually ordered the entire thing to split among 3 people, and while that was a little too much food, it's definitely doable. Some of their standouts included the fried fish (so crisp and flakey!), mini potatoes with this addictive green sauce, and a really refreshing tomato salad. Bleck's is a great place for a chill night out or a lazy weekend brunch! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.
