Oaxen Slip is a casual, trendy bistro restaurant fusing Swedish ingredients and flavors with modern techniques! After a visit in the nearby Skansen open-air museum, we came for dinner and were seated right away at a communal table. For some reason, the chairs at the table were the kind you find at a theater/auditorium and were hard and stationary--not the most comfortable by any means, but I sure hope there was a good reason for using them! After starting with some simple cracker bread and regular bread, we ordered the grilled cod collar for two, and we were presented with two fairly large pieces of cod that had a nice smokey flavor, and whose meat simply fell off the bone! The side dishes here are ordered a la carte, and we got the grilled brocolli with shaved hard Swedish cheese and onions, as well as the roasted beets with sunflower and mustard seed. The flavor of the brocolli was savory and fresh, and the beets were soft, tender, and sweet--both of these paired so nicely with the fish, but I wish we could have gotten even more side dishes to share! In general, this restaurant reminded me of a few small plates or gastropub restaurants I've been to in the US, and the dinner menu is definitely catered for small groups willing to share lots of different dishes/snacks. While I enjoyed my visit, it would have been nice to be able to try out a larger variety of their diverse offerings!

Nice decor.  It looks like a maritime museum.

Oaxen provided one of the best gastronomic experience in my life. Located in a picturesque dock between Djurgården and Beckholmen, Oaxen delivers the whole dining package. Starting from professional and friendly service, Oaxen's menu selection and the quality of food rival some of the best restaurants in the world. Best of all, the price will not set you back with a shock. Stockholm has a lot of offer when it comes to fine dining, but Oaxen gave us the most memorable experience by far.

The more casual cousin of Michelin 2* Oaxen Krog it was for Brunch that two sat out on a shaded patio at Oaxen Slip, the popular spot for locals as well as tourists offering a meal that was decent, though not so much in terms of value. Described best as a Bistro, the location along water looking out on Beckholmen undoubtedly part of Oaxen's appeal as boats occasionally move across one's gaze en route to open water, it was shortly after the Restaurant opened that seating was nearly full, a small staff providing service that would generously be called deliberate with "slow" a less pleasant description. Lined by suspended ships on the inside with nature doing al fresco duties in early Swedish Spring, complimentary Bread and good local Butter quick to arrive, it was after a lengthy delay that orders were placed, the limited weekend menu first providing a hemisected Sandwich topped in creamy Pork Spread along with melted Cheese, Mayonnaise and forgivingly mild Sauerkraut. Easily finishing the opening volly in a few bites each, a delay dividing this from more Food not unpleasant given the setting despite being inexplicable for Charcuterie, it was all-together that Pork Neck and house-aged Ham arrived alongside pickled Green Tomatoes ruined by Horseradish plus crisp French Fries and creamy Foie Gras hidden beneath Salad, the waitress' claim that Ketchup was unavailable when trying to sell 30 SEK Mayonnaise immediately disproved when a table of regulars received a ramekin that an alternative server was happy to provide. Rounding things out with Dessert, an e-mail days prior inquiring about the dinner Bread Pudding stating it could not be ready for Brunch, it was fortunate that Carrot Cake topped in Cream Cheese Frosting and Nuts was excellent because the flat Banana Bread beneath smooth Coconut Ice Cream and Lemon Marmalade so bitter it had to be removed most certainly was not.

We grabbed two appetizers, the lamb, and three sides at Oaxen Slip after checking out the sculptures in the park. The dishes were executed well but not quite the flavor for the price or the hype. Service was lovely though and wine list was great. And there was a bar dog with another guest which is always a plus. Note that the cocktail list and bar were pretty sparse.

Fries with smoked mayo

Came here after spending the day at the museums. It was recommended by a friend and we managed to snag a couple of bar seats since all the tables were booked! Great ambiance and view of the slip. Ordered - Grog (lemonades with different spirits) - w/ gin & ginger (5/5), mint & rum (4/5) - Smoked prawns with garlic aioli (5/5) - Herring with warm potato salad and egg (5/5) - Grilled duck breast with black currant (5/5) - Fries with smoked aioli (4/5) - Dessert crumble with thyme ice cream (4/5) Everything was amazing! One of my favorite places in Stockholm.

If i could marry this place, i would in a heartbeat. I've been to a number of michelin star studded restaurants but i'd say this restaurant is up there along with them or at least in my list. The ambiance, service, most importantly the FOOD stellar stellar stellar.

The food is right on point and it is a very good modern take on swedish food. The service however was a bit lagging. I think it was only the issue with that particular waitress but we waited forever to order or to get anything and we actually needed to track her down a couple of times. She didnt seem that happy about our presence either :( Other than that, everything was perfect. I really enjoyed the meal :)

Pulled pork brioche
Chris M.

A remarkably cool restaurant with good, innovative and affordable food. The pulled pork brioche was the best dish I had all year. And good service too! Generally need to reserve, but you may be lucky if you're early for lunch or dinner. Give it a try and take home some of their spicy barbecue sauce, too

Tartar, mustard mayonnaise, sour cream , onion & crutons (155 SEK)

It's always a great idea to go to Oaxen Slip after a lovely stroll on Djurgården. The nautical interior in this airy restaurant is very inspiring, and the view over Saltsjön just outside the windows is simply wonderful and very relaxing. The modern Nordic cuisine that is being served by the knowledgeable and attentive staff is very ambitious and delicious. The menu is varied and it is advisable to order dishes for sharing. This is something that appeals to me since I like to share the food and discuss what's on the table :) I would advise booking a table here a few days before you plan to go. Besides, try one of their homemade lemonades - they are incredible.

What can I say, one of the best meals I have had in a long time. We had gnocchi, sausage, roasted cauliflowers, pickled and roasted carrots and the malted ice cream with chocolate sauce. Beautiful day sotting outside, enjoying thr weather and great food. I highly recommend checking out this place.

I had a three course meal and it was great! The best was the king crab. I went back the very next day to eat it again.

They were out of the herring by the time I ordered, so the waiter asked to substitute the Char.

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.
