Small rotating menu and tapas style. The restaurant is pretty small with one large communal table that seats twelve and two smaller communal tables that seat six to eight-ish. Come early to avoid the wait! We ordered: - grilled asparagus and broccoli with trout roe (185 SEK) - mackerel (175 SEK) - perch (175 SEK) - pork (195 SEK) - milk pudding (100 SEK) - beer on draft (55 SEK) Overall, pretty clean and tasty and I would do it again. They share a kitchen with Gastrologik, which has two Michelin stars, so this is a great option to try that upscale New Nordic cuisine without breaking the bank. read more

It's a five because - frankly you don't get this kind of food state side, and even if you get something close, it's not quite this and the price will easily triple. Located next to its Michelin 2 star sister restaurant, this restaurant is owned by the same people. In fact one of the owners was back in the kitchen working this evening. Speceriet services mid size plates big enough to share but small enough to eat on your own. Dishes change frequently based on their farm to table ingredients availability. They recommend you to get 4 dishes if arriving in a pair, and they do not think you need more though most people would want to try to get more than 4 things of this incredibly assembled menu, as they are reasonable and each thing is unique. For this evening, things that piqued my interests were raw fish with juniper oil, cod with almond and salsify, duck and deer. But oh wait, how could I not order moose tartar? Add that please. It did not have elk but I had elk last night. So not too bummed. Given the current US politics, those of us in Blue States would not be caught dead in red states, leaving the only option to eat exotic game meat to Scandinavia. Last year I was fortunate enough to visit Alaska and Bergen, Norway back to back. I had finally got myself over the hump of reindeer meat and elk and moose. I was also incredibly greedy with the cod business, because when cod is fresh it tastes creamy and soft and without strong fish flavor, though oily, it's a treat if you can get your hands on it. None of the dishes were overly complicated but the dishes had all very distinct, nordic taste while being incredibly innovative in terms of seasoning, ingredients, and flavors. The combination of varies items in a dish was a bit of a surprise, but they all worked very well. Then there is the price point, everything on the menu were between $14 to $19. Dessert was less than $10 and it all comes with complimentary drinks before dinner. You can easily fill yourself with 2 things, and chances are you are going to pay for less than $40 per person because these prices already include tax. Stockholm, being the capital city of Scandinavia, often prides itself for being relatively affordable. Now with the USD SKR exchange rate favoring USD, it seems much more affordable all of sudden. I don't know if this is the norm in Stockholm or I hit the jackpot but the food was a bargain considering the quality and quantity. Make a reservation. Arrive on time. Be prepared to spend at least 2 hours here if you are into food. Now that I've done a tour (again) of this town's who's who restaurant business, all of sudden I don't feel so in dire needs of consuming true Scandinavian food in the Bay Area or New York. I can wait until I return here again. read more

Impressed by Anton Bjuhr and Jacob Holmströmm's work at Gastrologik and keeping lunches brief to experience more of Stockholm's sights and sounds it was at casual off-shoot Speceriet that two guests sat down to lunch on Tuesday, the tiny space next to its Michelin-starred sibling filling up with businessmen no more than fifteen minutes after opening and generating a short line thereafter. Open 11h30 to 14h00 Tuesday through Friday and evenings from 17h00 everyday but Sunday those wise enough to arrive at Speceriet early will be offered the choice of indoor or outside seating, a space in the window intentionally avoiding the sun but nonetheless subjected to excessive temperatures once the place filled up and air circulation was reduced to a standstill. Presented Prix-fixe or a la Carte with Dessert and Coffee as part of the former it was with good Bread topped in better Butter that selections were made without difficulty, the limited options allowing for near-immediate expediting and plates arriving within five minutes. Laid-out as Meat, Vegetarian and 'almost-Vegetarian,' the menu's Produce-driven nature not unsurprising considering what had already been seen at Gastrologik, one would be hard-pressed to call Speceriet anything less than a bargain given prices and portion sizes, the tender cubes of Pork with Potatoes atop Citrusy Mayonnaise at least 200g of beautifully cooked Protein while Cabbage was approximately 1/3 head and an elegant balance of flavors thanks to Cauliflower Cream and Grains set against funky Anchovy Butter. Offering a small gourmet grocery section near the door, payment at the register a bit inconvenient as it forced those entering and exiting to mingle mere inches from diners, it was with Coffee left behind thanks to already being too warm that Lunch ended with Beer Sorbet atop poached Rhubarb with crumbled Meringue, the taste of Hops restrained but still present and thus off-putting to those who don't enjoy that flavor. read more

A truly great meal with a skilled and friendly staff. Of the eight dishes on the menu, we had six and one of the desserts and none disappointed. The food is amazing without being fussy, complex without being complicated and quite delicious. The ingredients are all very fresh, resulting in a menu that changes with the availability of the seasons. Of the dishes we ate, the pork, the weever and the carrots were the most delectable but that does not mean we didn't love the others. Although the kitchen clearly maintains amazingly high standards, the vibe is casual and informal. Reservations can be easily made in the internet. read more

Is a small restaurant/grocery crammed right next to Gastrologik which even has a star in the Guide Michelin! With modern design with details of copper it gives you a premium atmosphere! My friend suggested this so I didn't really know what to expect! We got there around 13.00 and we got lucky to find the last seats, they only room abot 16 people! The service is good and consistent and the lunch meny simple! Fo appertizers you get sourdough bread which never fails! I went for the Tarte Flembeé which is pretty much a pizza on thin dough with peas and bacon! For those feeling for something fresh and light this is perfect and it tasted excellent! We couldn't hold our hands from it when we read that they had Clafoutis with plums and classic vanilla icecream. It was amazing, the ice cream tasted homemade (probably was) and the cake was sweet and refreshing! May not be the place you swing by looking for a quick meal but a cosy restaurant to celebrate that it's friday! read more

Both the food and the service is top notch - all in all great dining experience from start to finish! Located next to its two Michelin star sister restaurant, you are guaranteed a great dining experience. They have a menu with three courses and optionally two glasses of wine, or you can choose your own. read more

If you've read the NYT article, roast chicken isn't always on the menu. But there's plenty more to tantalize your taste buds. Speceriet is a wonderful little modern restaurang. The waiters are delightfully polite and sweet. I ate a mushroom dish and the rooster thigh. Both were artistic and creative, but a touch over-salted. There was also an unnecessary heap of salt on the butter. For dessert I had a gooseberry sorbet, with lavage ice cream and spelt meringue, which was utterly divine. My bill came to just over 100 CAD, including a glass of wine. It was well worth it, but I do wish that salt had been less of a main ingredient. read more

Fantastic quaint "back-pocket" gastronomique. Every item is delectable. You will meet your neighbors on this communal table styled spot. Highly recommend! read more

Quite a pricy lunch, but very tasty and service was quick. Very popular place which fills up right after opening. I don't recommend to drink coffee here, was not very good. But food great! read more

This place is hard to review. We wandered by after checking out the reviews from Gastronomik. Ater entering Gastronomik, they shuttled us into this resaurant ("their bistro"). It's hard to review because I didn't actually like any of the two items I had, but I think It is an amazing restaurant. I started with the grilled broccoli. It was very good, but too sweet for my tastes. My partner loved it, but I couldn't eat more than two bites, as I am not a sweet person. After that we got the potato fritata (torte). Everyone else was eating it (yes, we were following the crowd) so we decided to get it. (Afterwards when we were chatting with people next to us they said they were pushed to order it by the waiter.) Honestly, we thought it might be some posh potato pizza with tomato. It was very different from that (cream, caviar, raddish), but still very good. I enjoyed it, but It was a combination that I only wanted one slice of. My partner said he loved it, although he did not eat the rest of my food (which he does almost 100% of the time). The spacing is very crowded. You will be sitting with three other couples. But that only means you have more opportunities to make friends, of which we made many. (I promise it wasn't our fault, but we greatly enjoyed it.) read more

I have never before been to a restaurant where every single dish we ordered was truly breathtaking. The food here is original, precise, fresh, rich and incredibly complicated. The first taste of the first dish revealed that it would simply be impossible to recreate those flavours at home. The first dish was simply described as wild mushrooms, pears and egg yolk. What was presented was a medley of five different types of wild mushroom, pan fried, with a base which was the most wonderfully rich egg based thick sauce. Every single mouthful was a dream. And so our meal continued - extraordinary flavour followed by extraordinary flavour; extraordinary combination followed by extraordinary combination. Each totally different, each totally perfect and each totally memorable. All but one dish was gluten free, and gluten free bread was provided without asking. Unusually for Sweden, the Beaujolais Villages we drank was good (albeit, of course, expensive) and particularly unusually for any restaurant, a better bottle than what was promised on the wine list, a mere Beaujolais. Inside the atmosphere was delightful - modern, very Swedish but cosy and intimate. I cannot understand why this restaurant doesn't have at least two Michelin stars - I know it's big brother is bestarred, but this should be also. I've had an unusual run of going to starred restaurants in London, New York and San Francisco recently and this was hands down in a different league to any of those. read more

The food here is absolutely stellar. The reason for only four stars is that the front of the house was a little disorganized when we visited. The waiters were really sweet and friendly, though. But the food--I was blown away. Hoping to return on this trip. read more

Sister restaurant to the Michelin starred Gastrologik. Really convenient location if taking any tours leaving Strandvagen. Extremely good food and great service. All at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend. read more

This place was absolutely excellent. The hanger steak was the best I've had in months, perfectly flavored and unique with a pesto sauce. The weever and lamb dishes were amazing as well, with great side dishes of kale, potatoes, and all well balanced to accent the flavors present. Even the bread was delicious with a soft butter and salt. The beer selection was wide and diverse, and the service was prompt and friendly. My husband and I visited at around 6 PM on a Friday and it was nice to chat with the waiter before it got more busy. Definitely a modern European and Beyonce with lots of young hip folks. Would recommend to anyone in or visiting Stockholm! read more

Dont know how many times we have been here! 15, 20? Never been disappointed! The food is so good and so worth its price. Each dish costs between 90-200 SEK. Some can be chosen as a starter and some are big as a main dish. You can be satisfied even with some of the small dishes. Not too many to choose from but pretty concise wine selection. Pretty good selection of beer can always be found as well. The menu is pretty dynamic. They change at least one dish almost every week. Tarte-flambée and chicken are the ones they always have but with different recipes of course. Deserts are not to be underestimated either! Staff has always have great tips and they are the knowledge to what they are serving. The only discomfort is to sit on a bar stool! You certainly can get a backpain as you get closer to the end of your maindish and if you sit by the window on the puffy seating, you get double screwed with venous blood rushing to you feet as they hang during the whole dinner because there is nowhere to rest them. But as mentioned before it is so good so it is worth even the pain ;) It is the "bakficka" to Gastrologik, the well-deserved one Michelin star efter all. No reservations! Just to keep in mind. read more

My wife picked this place. I wasn't too thrilled with the menu but damn, my expectations were exceeded. Dishes are small. You get 2 to 3 per person. We got a variety and wow. So delicious. They focus on taste, texture and presentation. One of the best meals my wife and I ever had. So unique -- at least compared to dishes in the US. The veal tartare was fantastic -- spiced so well and the bit of crunch from ingredients was perfect. Lamb brisket and Brussels sprouts -- amazing. And I'm not a Brussels sprouts fan. More fatty then expected but it worked. Mushroom, pear and corn dish was unexpectedly really tasty- it seemed to simple to have such taste. Pumpkin based dessert -- so good, so good. read more

Speceriet - Modern European Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

Speceriet is the little sister restaurant to Gastrologik, a Michelin 2-star restaurant next door. The plates are small and are meant to be shared--think Swedish Tapas! We had the steamed cod with crab sauce, tomatoes, dill flowers; plaice with sautéed chanterelles mushrooms, pole beans, apple and grilled carrots with camomile, smoked whitefish, yogurt; and topped it off with a clafoutis with berries and camomile cream. Incredible flavors ingeniously matched. I am not a fan of "fusion" anything, but this was a superb meal! In addition, the staff was attentive, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Was here in April 2016 and today it is July 19th and I am still thinking how delicious dinner was! Laid back atmosphere yet elegant in that Swedish way. Our last dinner was here and it was very memorable. Portions are small but allow you to order various items. The rosefish was exceptional! Min måltid var excellent! Go for a quiet casual and intimate dinner! read more

Superb place. I made reservations a week before online, and once I got there, I realized that was a good thing. The place is small and cozy and always full. I don't expect much in terms of service when I'm in the Nordics so coming here was a pleasant surprise. The people attending to you are super nice and friendly and make conversation with you - a rarity in these parts of the world. :) And the food too, wow! I had the draft beer, the brocolli dish, the pork dish and the cheese, and they were all excellent. The plates are small and the menu changes seasonally. This is a place where you savor the moment and the excellence of the food and if you go with that mindset you are guaranteed a great time. read more

A small resturant with great food. Speceriet is the neighbouring resturant to the newly successful Gastrologik, sharing the same kitchen and quality of food. Although it may not be as classy and "fine-dining" as its neighbour, it serves delicious and simple dishes in an more relaxed atmosphere. The restuarant is small and doesnt offer alot of space, but can still be suitable with groups (2-4 pers). In terms of food, the menu is rather simple but offers a large diversity of foods. The ingredients are local and the dishes are fantastic. Definately worth a visit at its great location. read more

I enjoyed the lunch, the bistro to Gastronomik. Typically a good deal with much less the hassle of getting a table at a Michelin star restaurant and, of course, much less the price. Food was very good, the chicken stood out as expertly prepared, over all very satisfying. If I had more time in Stockholm I would have bothered with Gastronomik. I understand that one can find a long queue, which is not surprising given the quality of the food, the place is also quite small. Guess I was lucky, walked in and sat down immediately, great service and atmosphere. Brioche for desert was excellent. read more

A small restaurant in a quiet neighborhood near the Military Museum, this wonderful restaurant lived up to recommendations that we got before our trip to Stockholm. An ever changing menu makes your evening hard to pin down, but if our meal (5 people) was any indication, you will not be disappointed. Notable were some unusual ingredients not commonly found even in the current farm-to-table world. read more

Tiny place, amazing food. We went at around 8 on Friday and found plenty of space at our disposal. The salmon and the pulled pork buns were delicious as starters. I won't even try to explain- there were many layers to the dishes, just eat it! As mains we shared the lamb with goat cheese and beets which came in a delicious cream sauce. The chicken while simply prepared was juicy and flavorful with a nice salad and mayonnaise sauce. Overall, highly recommended! read more

This food was fantastic. The menu changes often, but I assume they have consistent quality. Each item was well presented and prepared. My friend and I split 4 small plates, each was better than the last. Drinks were also well done and refreshing. I had the house cocktails instead of wine. The highlight was dessert. Neither dessert "looked" fantastic, but they were both divine. This was the best meal I had in Stockholm by far. read more

If you can't get a reservation at the neighboring Gastrologik (or you don't have the bank account) a great alternative is this small sister restaurant, which takes walk-ins. We went at 7PM on a Saturday in June and had no trouble getting two seats. It's a small menu of traditions dishes. The specialty of the house is delicious chicken with salad and pickled onions--simple, but excellent. This place is clearly frequented by locals as several came in to get take-out chicken. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere modern, yet charming. read more

Perfect place to visit. Fabulous food and wines.
