I'm half Swedish and had never had Swedish meatballs in Sweden (only homemade). It was such a comforting meal on a cold, rainy October day! Flavor was insane and so nice to have it plopped down in front of you. Was there with two moms with two little ones and the staff was accommodating with strollers and chairs necessary. The ambience felt upscale but not stuffy. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in the area.
Overall, really positive experience! LOVED almost everything we ordered (especially the Swedish meatballs and beef cheek croquette)! If you want great meatballs in Sweden, GO HERE! The half chicken left something to be desired (no sides or nothing). Our waiter was very friendly and the place becomes more rowdy around 11pm at the bar (not a negative just plan accordingly).
It definitely felt like a popular trendy restaurant that you should make reservations ahead of time to get a table. The people were fashionably dressed ( but that might just be a Stockholm thing) I had on jeans and a sweater. The staff was down to earth and friendly so their personalities were warm and accommodating. The presentation of the food looked great and actual taste was good. I had the duck which was ok....I can't really articulate the texture of meat but the sauce it came with had the rich flavor that made the meal good. I really liked the salsify gratin and their soup. The lamb was flavored well but took some effort to separate the meat from the bone. It is definitely a place to check out and I was told that the restaurant turns into a night club / bar atmosphere later.
This was a major disappointment. Walked in and the waiter was pushy. I waited for quite sometime before I was attended to. And once again, I do believe this was because I was by myself. Regardless, I'm a paying customer. When I received my wine, I noticed there was a fly in it!!! Totally absurd! The meatballs were good. I was too focused on the lack of service and what was in my drink to enjoy my herring plate or the Swedish meatballs.
Despite not having a reservation, we were seated within 40 mins on a Thursday evening. The food here is top quality. Service was slow but that was kind of expected. We ordered the sliced meat to start and french onion soup. Both were good dishes. However, the main courses were special. The scallops with chorizo was great. The salty flavor of the sausage mixed with a cream sauce and chopped tomatoes made it light but packed with flavor. It's interesting to see more chefs incorporating meats with seafood. The fried tenderloin with horseradish sauce was also very delicious. The meat was a bit bloody for my liking but it was a very nice dish and a big portion so we all shared. I thought the prices were actually quite good for Stockholm. I would definitely suggest to anyone in the area. Berns is right across the park for a drink afterwards!
An amazing meal from start to finish! Reservations are highly recommended as this place was packed from start to finish. We ate on a Saturday in June with nice weather. Started with a bottle of white wine. The wine list is extensive and impressive. We didn't order any cocktails, but our table was near the bar and drinks from the bartender looked great. We went in knowing what we wanted as we had studied the menu. Started with the ruccola salad with parmesan, olive oil and pine nuts. It was fresh and flavorful yet simplistic. I really enjoyed this salad. Next was the star of the show: the Swedish dry aged club steak (~25oz) with parmesan gratinated asparagus, cafe de paris butter and french fries. This is for two people and takes 35 mins to prepare. It is worth every minute of waiting time. I am writing this review two weeks after the meal and am still dreaming of this steak. We ended with the brownie with hazelnuts, salt caramel ice cream and raspberries. The brownie was decadent and a perfect mix for the ice cream. The service was impeccable. Our server was professional, fun and patient. He kept tabs on us without hovering. I am already scheming how to get back to Stockholm to go to Riche!
This was the first restaurant we tried in Stockholm. We had a great experience from beginning to end. The host was warm and friendly and we were seated immediately. The service was fast and friendly. The food was fantastic. My friend suggested the meatballs and I'm really glad we got it here coz it's the best we had anywhere. Made me curious about other items in the menu as well as the sister restaurants. I would totally recommend this place to anyone who wants excellent food and service in Stockholm.
There's three type of people that go to Riche -- ladies who lunch (and shop across the street), tourists (read: me), and the six figure+ working set who join the bar after 5pm. It can get loud in here so if that bothers you, there are a million other restaurants in either direction. If you're fine, order Toast Skagen with fresh Kalix vendace roe. It's bright and fresh here. I particularly enjoyed fresh shrimps. They were salt d perfectly and presented beautifully. Ladies lunching to my left and right all ordered either the turbot or the perch. A chic man to my left had a plate of vegetables and a seemingly vat of wine. Whatever floats your boat here. Oh - also great if you're dining alone. The view is nice and it's in the heart of the shopping scene.
My favorite meal I had in Stockholm. We started with some fresh oysters and a heavy pour of red wine before moving into the rest. I am gluten free and the waiter was able to point out what would be acceptable for me. When there was a mistake in my order and it came out glutened, they caught it before giving it to me and quickly switched it out. I got the halibut and the sauce was divine. Recommend!
Dropped by here on our last day in Stockholm without reservation on a Sunday night at around 6:30pm. We chose this place since it was 1min walk from our hotel and were actually recommended to this place by our taxi driver. We (party of 2) were seated at the bar without any wait. Ambience/interior was amazing for our last night. We ordered the toast skagen (full size) + meatballs, both were delicious (though for lactose intolerant ppl beware, as my friend and I both felt extremeeely bloated throughout the entire night afterwards), probably one of our best meals in Stockholm. Prices were slightly on the higher side (esp for the toast skagen, which has 4 halves of toasts), but overall great for a lighter meal + vibes. read more

We had dinner at Riche during our last night in Stockholm. We loved the understated elegance and history of the restaurant, with the apparent sections of the old building facade used now inside at the focal entry corner of the restaurant. We thought the food was good but probably a half-step down from some of our other dinners on our trip. My wife's chicken was overcooked, my daughter's meatballs were fine but they lacked the depth of flavor of other variants we had, and I liked my asparagus vegetarian entree but it was mostly about the sauce. We ordered their supposedly famous almonds to start but those never came. The dessert was good, with a scoop of ice cream over a simple cookie and topped with a delicious caramel sauce. Nice place. Staff was good. Love the history- you can taste it in the food. Fun place. We'd go back. read more

Stopped here for recoup, recharge, and sweet up since walking all day. Cute sweet & foods place with both inside, upstairs and outside seating area. Inside, you got candle lites on the table. Small but they got everything you can think of, baked goods, sweet cakes, sandwiches, snacks, drinks, liquors...nice & friendly services....its self service that is you order and picked your foods and grab a table. If you ordered hot foods, they will bring it to your table. Very clean, spacious and romantic little place along the downtown street. Very nice overall with good sweet treat and good drink and good service. read more

Lovely brasserie filled with beautiful decor, people, and dishes! The bar area was full of super chic locals having afternoon champagne and cocktails. The food was delicious and the beer and wine selection were both excellent. This place is a trendy spot in the heart of Stockholm! read more

I visited Stockholm for a short stay and sooo glad we stumbled upon this place. The food was amazing and the service was just as great! Luckily, I visited Riche with 7 other people so needless to say I was able to sample a lot of dishes (Yes, I'm that friend lol). Everything I tasted was well season and my American pallet was extremely happy :). The waiter informed us that they had some of the best Swedish meatballs and o' boy he wasn't lying! read more
Riche is located on the nicest shopping street in Stockholm, and the clientele definitely matches the location. Even though I was traveling for business, I still felt somewhat out of place when we stopped in for a weekday lunch. We started with the pate with pistachio nuts and pickles and were able to get gluten free bread to go along with it. Having eaten my fair share of pate in my day, this was a pretty solid plate. I can't even remember what my boyfriend had because I was so overwhelmed (in a good way) by my baked cauliflower entree. I'm not a vegetarian by any means, but the option was so intriguing, I had to get it. It was both beautiful to look at and to eat. The flavor was over the top. Riche is the kind of place that I would go to after work for a drink, for a super hot date, or any other time when I was feeling fancy. Would be a great place for a special meal on your next trip to Stockholm. read more

Exceeding my expectations - an elegant, modern bistro serving classic dishes! For appetizer, the red prawns from Patagonia: beautifully cooked in garlic & herbs! Next, Swedish meatballs: buttery rich, nicely paired with the creamy smooth pureed potatoes; delightfully accompanied with lingonberries & pickled cucumbers! Last but not least: Gino dessert: light & airy warm fruits and white chocolate au gratin-oh so delicious! On top of the food, the service was impeccable! Skal! read more

I tried oysters and Gino as dessert. The oysters were particularly great. Gino is a good dessert too, but order 1/2 if you are alone. Although at the expensive side, Riche is a good place to try. The service was good, no long waiting times, friendly staff and clean service. read more

It was our first night in Stockholm and this bar was suggested as a must visit Great Advice. We arrived and the effect was similar to a Lynx advert combined with jurrasic park scene women just seem to know when you're British. Good Times ;-) The bar is very cool, the beer is cold and the cocktails are pretty good too. It's a trendy bar so dress smart as the door policy is strict. To ensure access, call in advance and book a table. MUST VISIT LOCATION read more

Our hotel desk told us to check this place out. We didn't realize that this is one of the BEST restaurants in Stockholm!!! Original dishes that have influenced Sweden's food culture, fine dining at an affordable price, and nearly 100 years old. We were blown away and totally surprised. We loved everything we ate here and would 100% recommend it!! read more

While staying at Nobis Hotel, our concierge recommended we try Riche. So glad he did! We proceeded to eat here three separate times. All lovely and delicious. Customer service is better than most American places in the U.S. food was consistently delicious. Martin, our server the first time, recognized and welcome us four days later on our third visit. Caviar and Snails are incredible. The steak bits and meatballs are both amazing dishes as is the tartar. Definitely pricey but worth it. Our servers knew their wine pairing as well two thumbs up. read more

Had a fabulous dinner here. Did not have a reservation but was immediately given a table. Service was prompt and friendly. I did think the tables were too close together for those of only 2 in a party. Good vibe and as I'm from South Africa, everything is pricey in Sweden. As it was a great meal I was happy to pay the price. Not a great selection of beer, but a vary wide variety of wines from all over the world. Patrons are smartly dressed, but even though we were casual, we did not feel out of place. read more

During my four day weekend in Stockholm I visited Bar Riche twice. The first time I sampled the wine selection. The second time I had Swedish meatballs which was amazing. The dish came with pickled cucumbers and lingonberries, and mashed potatoes. The gravy is unlike I've ever had before, in a good way. You can't go to Sweden without trying Swedish meatballs, and I'm glad I had them at Riche. If seating is full in the restaurant, try sitting at the bar. Service is just as good, read more

Riche is very versatile. You can essentially have a nice romantic dinner, grab drinks with friends or just hang out by the bar for some quality solo time. But why would you want to? The ambiance is very fun and everyone was pretty nicely dressed. It can be somewhat of a "scene" but you are in Ostermalm. We were seated in the restaurant area and decided to try out the herring and cheese platter as well as Swedish meatballs and another traditional Swedish dish--Toast Skagen. The meatballs were served with lingonberries and pickled gherkin as well as a mini pot of mashed potato. The meatballs' sauce was actually a bit too salty for my liking, but delicious nonetheless. There's an extensive wine and drinks menu. The service was friendly overall. We had two waiters serve us. We asked the first about the reputation of some other "highly regarded" restaurants and she had never heard of them. The second, however, was very helpful and even suggested some good bakeries (konditoris) for us to check out during our stay. Overall, I would recommend Riche for a fun night out. read more
Before my trip to Sweden, I researched where to find traditional Swedish meatballs. I wanted to go to Bakfickan but they were closed. Luckily, Riche was open and it was in a really nice part of town. Surrounded by upscale shops, Riche is located on the corner of the street and has a lovely atmosphere. We sat in the side area behind the bar and I ordered the meatballs. It was around $30 USD. It came with whipped potatoes, lingonberries, and pickles. There was also complimentary bread and knäckebröd. The meatballs were heavenly. These were the real deal! The best part was the gravy that they came in! Yum! The waitress recommended eating a bite with everything and she was right! The meatballs taste even better with a dollop of potatoes, lingonberries and a pickle, all in one bite! They really bring out the flavor in one another! I couldn't ask for a better Swedish meatball experience. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want fine cuisine. My friend got the chicken, pork belly and red wine dish and she loved it but I had a bite and I liked the meatballs better. Overall, a nice restaurant but it is pricey as the meatballs were probably the cheapest thing on the menu. read more
