I found this place on one of my many rambling walks around my brand new place of residence. (American expat, flying blind over here. Hjälp!) Always a sucker for food, spice, and food...just food... I ventured in, and decided to have a meal and some drinks. As often as I meander about the globe, and eat at restaurants alone, I never stop feeling a LITTLE awkward when I walk in and announce "Just me. No really. One. Just one. Me."
But the Spice Corner made me feel welcome, and the server/bartender/manager...? (one guy was running the show but doing great at it) seemed to sense my awkwardness and bad Swedish, and was kind enough...to be kind.
The food was excellent - really. Fresh, flavorful, and with just the right amount of spice. Good sized portions as well. The prices for both food and drinks were very reasonable by Swedish standards, and the house wines were not just watery cheap crap sold at an insane mark-up. The wine was GOOD, (a robust Cabernet, this one) and priced rather fairly for a restaurant. (Beers are really well priced too, though I didn't order any...) There's always a mark-up, but this WASN'T a ridiculous one.
Overall, a very nice experience! Recommended if you want a great dining experience at a lovely and relaxed place where you can actually get a table. (Just getting a table is a blessing in Stockholm, so if the food and drinks are good...it might be worth going off the beaten path a little. I recommend it!) read more
