I decided to go here for lunch based on my Yelp search. We came in a little before they opened and…read moresat outside. There were two other families waiting already. Once they were open, it took a long time between us being given menus to finally getting our food- 50 minutes. They should've given us our side while we were waiting for the board. We ordered a side of salami and Swedish cheese and the hairy pig board. I enjoyed the side, but the board not so much. The board consisted of wild boar sausage with broche bun, wild boar taco, peppercorn fries, and wild boar lasagna. The board was quite heavy and salty. I didn't have enough stomach space to even try the taco. I did enjoy the fries, but it's not enough for me to want to return.

This place is tucked below street level and is very intimate and downright cozy with its low beam wood ceiling, wood tables in every cranny it can fit to accommodate guests, and a tiny little bar. You can find this place outside by the wooden sign with the boar on it, then simply peer down into the low window and if you see a hairy pig nomming on a sausage, congratulations! You're in the right place. We stopped in not long before closing time and that was probably the only reason we were able to get a much coveted table. The barkeep was nice and let us put in a quick order while also getting us drinks. Unfortunately for me, there were not very many gluten free tapa options on the menu, but there were a few naturally gf. The salami and sausages were thought to have gluten so I went with the smoked shell on shrimp, a cheese dip, and some salad with olives. I wasn't crazy about the smoked shrimp but the olives and cheese were good. The husband enjoyed a sausage in bun which he said was great. Overall we liked the vibe and I think if you can eat the locally sourced meats like my husband it's probably a pretty solid place. If you're gf or allergy you'll probably still be hungry at the end of the meal like I was.

Panini Internazionale sounds as if they'd have a wide selection of sandwiches, which ironically…read morethey don't. There are a couple sandwiches, none of them are vegetarian. They do have a selection of salads and pasta salads (although the pasta comes from homophobic company Barilla) and the ones I've tried are good.

The menu was one page with exactly six each of starters, small dishes and main entrees. Rueben sandwich was stacked with a good amount of pastrami, sauerkraut and dressing on a toasted bread. It was quite delicious and everything went well together. Eating, however, was a bit messy with the dressing oozing out with every bite. Two spears of tangy and crisp pickles were included. Chicken soup was tasty and warming that day with pieces of chicken, carrots, and celery. Very simple but satisfying. Bathrooms were located down an iron staircase to the right of the kitchen. Service overall was good and efficient. Worthwhile stop for soup and salad.

I ate an avocado salad that included a soft runny egg, peas and mushrooms covered in sesame seed which was delicious. I'd definitely recommend this place.

I came in on a Friday night and had terrific service and very friendly customers who welcomed me as I was the only American at the bar. I enjoyed four rounds of drinks, three Swedish Craft Beers and a French Aged Cider. The staff were very happy to share their best selection with me! They offer small palates, appetizers, and gourmet meats and cheeses to pair with their extensive Beer, Wine, and Cocktail lists. If you are an explorer and like to venture out to new venues like me, this place was more local and a typical Swedish hangout for the younger crowd. One disclaimer that didn't make this a perfect experience, there was a terrible stink/ sewage problem the night I was in.. Not sure if it was with their piping or back of house but it was quite fowl. I'm sure this was a one night problem but it got in the way of catching the aromas of both the cider and beer! A weird thing to mention but it was the laugh of the bar that night. Hope to come back another time and enjoy their updated drink and food lists!

Wooden benches outside and a small eating area with bar inside. I did not get what all the hype was about, but than again I am certainly not one of the 'cool kids' - the old crank that I am. The early afternoon sun was burning down on us with no shade in sight. So the cold beers went down quick, one after another. This naturally made a world of diffrence and may have been strategically orchestrated by members of my group. I had a mac and cheese which was surprisingly good. In hindsight, just about everything we ate in Stockholm was simply on another level. The quality and care that goes into the preparation is simply superior to what occurs back home. Dishes are kept simple and made with fresh ingredients. Everything is made to order. So all in all despite some of my initial reluctance we ended on a high note and had a great lunch. If you're young and hip this is definitely a place to go.

The café has a relaxed vibe, and even though it was busy, the service was quick and friendly. Prices are a bit high, but worth it for the quality. Recommend if you're looking for a great coffee and pastry spot, convenient to city center. Outdoor seating if you're lucky enough to land a spot. If not, there's a nice park across the way, if you order take away.

Although the passageway where the interior seating is situated seemed awkward it actually worked out well. Service, despite a crowd, was fairly quick, I would rate the coffee an A or 9/10 on the scale of strength, low acidity/smoothness. It is espresso based and made to exact order. There are serval options for milk (whole, oat, 1/2 and 1/2, etc). The major complaint would be that there is no easy place to throw away your rubbish, nor is there a place that is clearly evident to bust your dishes, which is much needed given that this is a super busy place.. The staff is too busy to bus tables regularly, which backs up the availability of seating . This is the major reason for a one star deduction.. TIP: You can buy beans or ground coffee for home brewing.

There was a nice, relaxing relaxing vibe with a lot of minimalistic and modern design elements. We sat at a moderately large table and ate, drank our coffees and chatted in peace.

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.
