    We went here to celebrate my husbands birthday. Our table was perfect! We sat by ourselves and had great view over the restaurant. The food concept were funny and it is based on the tastes. They combined drink and food in the perfect way. The best dish were "chili" steak tartare.

    Normally, I don't get to indulge myself a lot while traveling so Smak was far from my own radar, but my host (a Stockholm native for 23 years) wanted to treat me to her favorite restaurant. The location seemed a little off the beaten path but still in a central location. The ambiance was a classy dimly lit space (dim enough that I was having issues reading the menu at first) with many sunken levels of seating. You chose how many plates/tastes you would like to order (all of the girls in our group ordered 5 and were completely satisfied, while the guys ordered 7) then get to circle them by selecting a specific flavor. Your tastes/plates are completely your own, so you can technically get 3 hearty dishes then 2 desserts or even just 5 desserts, if you wish (all the more flexibility when you chose 7 plates). Starting from the top of everyone's list then descending numerically, the waiters explained each dish as it was brought to the table. Two thumbs up for plating- each dish came out like a masterpiece. My personal favorite was the Wasabi dish-- spring rolls with crumbled wasabi peas inside to add a wonderfully contrasting crunch. The portion sizes do vary wildly so be forewarned, because there's a chance that you flat out get less food than your neighbor even if you order the same number of plates. Lastly, take a peek at the cocktail list that is also modeled after the same "taste" system. The rhubarb one was really great and had a nice summer flavor, which I would expect to be a novelty for many Americans (I know I wasn't familiar with the taste but really liked it). Expect a long dinner. The meal will go the speed of the person who ordered the most tastes. We waited with empty plates for two courses so those with 7 could catch up to us with 5 and us all eat the final plate (ie. dessert) together-- Ended up being a 3 hour meal altogether. Great experience though and extremely unique! Peruse the menu before you go, because it is actually really hard to narrow the ~20 options down to the 5 or 7 you want to eat!

    Highly recommended. excellent selection of taste. Choose the dish base on the flavors you enjoy. I would say just go with the 5 course, we had 7 and we were super full. some recommended dishes are wagyu, ribeye, dessert was superb. Really need to use a map to find it, small sign you won't see it if you aren't purposely looking for it.

    Taste: WASABI

    High quality and amazing service. It's a great place to go for a birthday dinner or something more formal. For my taste (which is in a lot of ways childish) it was a bit too fancy with all the flavors. But since that's not relevant - I think this restaurant deserves 5 stars!!! No question :)

    Looks like this restaurant receives many awards. Authentic interior and perfect lunch place. I tried tuna salad which has great taste of cured tuna and veggies with sesame and soy sauce paste dressing. Asian fusion style and fefinitely wanna come back here to get the same dishes.

    We went to Smak for my birthday dinner with our friends from Stockholm. There is no denying that it was a culinary experience :) When we arrived, our table wasn't ready, so we had to wait at the bar for a short while. When we were seated, the waitress explained the concept of Smak to us: you order by flavour, and you can chose to have three, five or seven courses. We went all out and ordered seven courses each. The portion size varies greatly between dishes. I was full at the end, so was my friend, but our better halves could have eaten more. I found the concept intriguing, but unfortunately Smak doesn't carry it off completely, I think. All dishes I had were very tasty (except the lemon flavour (scallop and cucumber) which lacked flavour), but many didn't taste very much of the flavour they were supposed to represent. For example, the dill flavoured one was excellent, but I didn't taste much dill. If you chose to sell your dishes by flavour, that flavour needs to shine in my opinion. However, we also discovered that people do seem to have different sensibilities when it comes to tasting a flavour: while I found that by basil flavoured dessert had strong but very nice basil flavour, my friend said she didn't taste much basil. Maybe it also has an impact of what dish you had before!? This is something they might need to work on. The service was very friendly. But it took forever. I think we waited about 30 min for our first course and another 30-45min for the second. That is definitely to long. I really liked the interior of the place. If you decide to go, I recommend you make a reservation. The place was fully packed on Friday night and I my friend said that she thinks it's not much better most nights.

The restaurant was fairly busy as we had to wait 45 minutes for the next available reservation when we initially arrived. The portions were tiny. I knew this was a tapas style restaurant where portions are small and I understand what tapas are, but these servings were ridiculously small. The photos did not reflect and were misleading. The length of time between ordering and delivery was ridiculously long and it seemed unnecessary given the portion size. By the time we sat down to eat the dining room was fairly empty and most of the remaining parties were drinking only. We decided against a second round of tapas, paid and left. I had a burger and the loaded fries. My wife had a snort of a steak and my son had a pizza Margherita. Pinchos seems fine for drinks or casual banter with friends over snacks. Don't go there actually trying to eat like us. Our bad.

They have an awkward ordering system where you have to download their app, order your drinks and then pick them up yourself. It did not work well- had to get the manager to provide 'access codes'. Bathrooms are in disarray. Just a bad vibe generally. It's not a place to spend your hard earned money.

Less travelled areas will still see pretty similar prices. That's why I love this particular restaurant. For around $70 per person you will experience an amazing 7 course tasting menu with excellent food and beautifully plated, easily worthy of a Michelin star. The depth of flavor and texture in every dish had everyone in our group more than satisfied. I thoroughly enjoyed the scallop, chicken liver, and cod dishes most. Service was excellent. The only knock would be the length of time we spent here. It was about a 3.5 hour experience, which is a little bit too long. However, without reservation, this was the best fine-dining meal I've had so far this year.

Before 10pm you don't have to pay a cover fee, so come in early and have a drink watching the nice view from the top floor bar. You can leave your jacket at their wardrobe room, just don't forget the wallet as beers cost around 60 SEK, and cocktails 120 SEK. I tried a Sour Cosmopolitan that tasted quite sweet but still yummy. Luckily for me the song selection on that particular Saturday night was ragga, hip hop, and dance hall - which I love by the way. In between drinks I danced a lot with my friends and had a lot of fun, but it's not a traditional Swedish type of music so you won't find the stereotypical swedes around there. If you want something a little different, go down the stairs, there is a little pub and another dance floor (which was then playing very intense dub step).
