Let me start this review with acknowledging one fact right from the start:…read more I love fishing but I DO NOT like fishing for cuts of meat in a meat fondue bowl! So If you a lover of meat fondue or as I call it "fishing with stick in a hot bowl" then by all means visit Restaurang Stäket as it is a meat fondue institution. To be honest Stäket is not only a meat fondue institution, it is a city institution being one of the most classical, oldest, highly reviewed and regarded restaurants in the small town of Lund. However in my opinion we are now beyond the point of classic. Everything, not only the building and the décor but even the menu and the visitors, are retro. In fact it is so much so that if this place was in the states it would without a doubt be a mid-evil theme restaurant. Also as the rumor has it changes are few and far between, during the last 20 years. Being an institution is truly a double-edged sword, it can be assuring but it also can result in an Era of Stagnation. The Kitchen turnouts are the living proof of this stagnation. The biggest problem is the fact that Stäket relies so heavily on the costumers being in love with the old classics such as meat fondue and Plank steak (beef on a oak plank with duchesse potato). So much so that the rest of the menu gets as much or as I see it as little attention as the classic dishes mentioned above. Let's face it a plank made in the oven or a meat fondue, with mainly cold sauces doesn't really make or break or test a kitchen and its chef. In conclusion what this kitchen puts out, is somewhat sloppy, uneven and uninspiring and I am refraining from the usage of the word Retro. In fact the generous cuts of meat or fish, more in term of quantity and not quality, are often bland and given life by the side orders. For instance the garlic & thyme baked lamb gets its taste from the rosemary sauce and YES you are right not from garlic nor thyme. The Chocolate cake is really a volcanic lava-like texture brownie relying heavily on the sour cream served on the side to balance its overwhelming sweetness. it is not gooey it is more dry and lumpy. I also suspect that the duchesse potatoes are sometimes made out of a box as in "Instant Mashed Potato Powder" as the texture varies from dense,heavy and thick to fluffy and light. And If not made out of a box, it only goes to show how uneven this kitchen has become.

I think this place can be hit or miss, but definitely more hit than miss. Last time I was there (in…read more2010) was with a group of friends. Everyone was satisfied, but some more than others. Restaurant was full, but service was still efficient and pleasant. The interior is quite cosy, rustic even. I agree with another reviewer - if this place were in the States, it would DEFINITELY be a medieval themed restaurant ;) To be honest, I was pleased with my meal. I had deer fillet and I remember it being very tasty and enjoyable :) I would definitely go every once in a while if I still lived in Lund!

Visited on a Friday night with a 7:00 reservation (recommended). Most of the tables were full…read more Expectations were high as a friend recommended Carnivore. We started with an Eriksberg and the salad bar. Salad is included with the entree. A good variety of items from greens to cheese (Feta, Mozzarella), seasoned mushrooms, corn & peppers. A great way to start the meal. The garlic bread was excellent! For main, I ordered the No Bone T-Bone. A Filet/Tenderloin and Sirloin cut grilled separately. I asked for medium rare. The Tenderloin was amazing! On the other hand, the Sirloin was ok & came out closer to medium. Would order just the Tenderloin in the future. The Carnivore Classic (Burger) was also ordered and it was very good. The fries come with the entrees and we ordered the potatisgratang as an extra and the creamy potatoes were very good and definitely worth the 20 KR. Also got the Pepper (good) & Bearnaise (better) side sauces. They also have chicken and Salmon entrees but the feeling is that it is all about the steaks here. Service was ok and could have been more attentive. Overall, a solid choice for steak.

Excellent, kind, and efficient service that made me feel quite at home, but the food was alright but great for the cheap price compared to a CPH steakhouse. Food: 4/5. I had the recommended classic, plankstek. The seasoning wasn't anything special, but the chefs do know how to cook their meat. I had medium well, and it was cooked perfectly. Usually I run the risk of it being too dry, but Mando's got the perfect touch! Service: 5/5. I came by on a Wednesday around 4pm, and the place was already quite busy, so I can't imagine what it's like during rush hour. Since it was an off-hour, I was promptly seated wherever I wanted. The blonde waitress was sweet and even bent down to speak to me at eye-level to ensure friendly comfort. Price: 4/5. Coming from CPH, I expected crazy prices at a steakhouse, but for 130g of the plankstek--that also comes with a mixed salad, fries, and 1 onion ring--it only cost about $25 USD. I half expected to order another side in case I wasn't full, but no worries there.

I literally haven't had french fries in years, but I sampled a few that came with my steak and I'd say it was well worth the carb splurge. - I really enjoyed their bearnaise sauce which seems to come with most of the dishes. - Prices are incredibly reasonable.

The same people are behind it but they have now managed to revitalize things and have created a restaurant where I do at least feel very much at ease at and I do know that whatever I will be served it will taste good. The food is often not complex and perhaps not the most creative either but they do only use high quality products so most things will be just great as the chefs truly know what they are doing. The food may be a bit heavy but it is definitely in the Swedish tradition of things and I am myself fond of this type of food. They have also done an excellent job of finding good beer and wine to match the food. They also carry it all the way be serving good coffee as well.

He is kind, has great manners and offered the best service we have had. Way above american standards! Thank you! Who knew that we would find a place that made us less homesick (I am Indian from Arizona and he lived innTX), so this place was great! Fun music and atmosphere. We will come back when we're in town.
