Went for a short getaway to Mörrum & Karlshamn with a friend, and on our first night we ate at Ullsocken (the wool sock), the restaurant of Mörrum River Lodge where we stayed. The first thing you notice when entering this restaurant is the large balcony situated right over Mörrumsån (the Mörrum creek), and as the weather was good we had a seat outside, enjoying the beautiful view.
After consulting the short menu we both ordered shrimp fried with garlic for a starter, followed by a flank steak for my friend and an entrecote for me. We also each had a beer from the local microbrewery, and later another beer from their small but good selection of beers. Wine is also available but I can't comment on that since I didn't try any.
The shrimps, served with a slice of fried bread, were tasty and presented themselves well on the rectangular plate. A perfect first course that landed on the table not too long after we ordered. The meat was prepared as requested, with my entrecote rare and my friends flank steak medium. I was wondering about the cut at first, until I realized they'd removed the piece of fat normally found in an entrecote, a disposition I'm still wondering about since that is in my view part of the allure of this particular cut of meat, but I'm willing to ascribe it to differing culinary traditions, and the taste was still good if somewhat different from what I'd expected. The accompanying potatoes and vegetables were tasty but nothing out of the ordinary.
All in all a nice dining experience at an affordable price and in an excellent location. I'd go there again just for dining with that view, although it may be a while since it's a couple hundred kilometres from Copenhagen. read more
