These honestly may have been my favorite meatballs I tried in Stockholm. The dish is so filling with the mashed potatoes and not pictured but the lingonberry's and cucumber mixed in. Such a comfort meal and I absolutely loved it. The gravy was also nice and thick with great flavor. To finish it off we had this delicious mixed berry crumble a la mode, so basically I was rolling out of the restaurant because I was so full by the end of the meal. Worth every bite. The service was great, with every staff member I encountered being super friendly. And the location is beautiful, with cute classic decor, and a very traditional feel to it. Highly recommend! read more

So its 3rd year in a row...think we will go somewhere else next year...but this was better than last year A couple of julbords, a couple of snaps, a glass of rouge and one of blanc = sek 2,595...yes it was good (lots of everything to choose from) and the service fine (though our French waiter disappeared home at the end of his shift, but we weren't aware until we went to pay because there was noone to talk to do more...) but was it worth it? No, not really, if you compare to NYE at The River Cafe in Paris where we usually spend NYE...with 4 glasses of bubbles, 4 x wine , a 6 course meal & coffee & a short each plus a superb dance disco after midnight Everyone goes to at least one of these every year but maybe they are now priced out...maybe we try one more time...somewhere read more

For a wonderful afternoon tea you can't go wrong with Villa Godthem, recommended by staff at The Bank Hotel. Located in a nice house like building in the Djurgarden area of Stockholm, afternoon tea included various small sandwiches, small seafood tartlets, scones with jams, lemon curd, cream and butter, as well as a large number of desserts - panna cotta with raspberry, ginger cakes, cookies and candies. If you get it with a glass of champagne, it makes a perfect afternoon outing. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented and the service was pretty good too! read more

This is such a beautiful Viila... Truly in a gorgeous setting with a Gardener an outdoor area beautiful indoor space we were so blessed today to have a mother daughter high tea ... everything was presented so beautifully and sometimes when you go to have a tea, the food does not always taste the best... however, the food at villa Godthem is so scrumptious and mouthwatering. Everything is fresh, perfectly seasoned so tasty and completely OnPoint for the afternoon.... The staff are so friendly. They do get busy so you either should make a reservation or go at a time when you're not so busy.... We enjoyed this beautiful afternoon on Mother's Day. They also have the regular menu ... and believe me when I tell you everything looked so delicious going by our table and smelled even more wonderful.. we will be back... read more

We walked to see the Vassa Museum, Viking and ABBA and Shipwreck one. Fantastic (note most Museums are closed Mondays. We walked to and thru the King Gustav City Park and found Villa Gothem, like Tavern on the Green Central Park nyc. Grat location, relaxing and clean and well decorated. The service Mgr Biaggio was excellent from wine to meals. Fair priced. would come here again. read more

Located away from the main city center this is an old style Swedish restaurant with really grand interiors and fabulous views of the water and City. If you don't know this place exists you are not likely to find it as it's a bit of walk from the city center to get here. The service here is very formal and the menu very Swedish. Priced on the higher side it's not over priced for what is on offer. The menu is fairly extensive with a big wine list as well. There was 6 of us at lunch and we had a lovely table with nice views. The restaurant is divided into rooms and we were in the larger of the three rooms. I ordered a mushroom soup for main which was very nice and creamy. Loved it very much. My chocolate fondant was also nice and gooey and I loved it. Service was very good and everyone in our party enjoyed their meals very much. I would come back here again. It's classic restaurant with classic Swedish meals. It's located in a great part of town surrounded by greenery and water. read more

The definition of a three star rating! The food was normal - went down smoothly but nothing exceptional. The staff were friendly but nothing above what one can expect. The fries were on par with any place who can serve them without any extra effort and the dressing were most likely from these pre-made dressing cans that last for ages in room temperature. In short, you get what you pay for. But the environment is really nice thought - can recommend a walk in the area afterwards instead of dessert read more

Villa Godthem - Burger - decent but no "wow meal". - Scandinavian Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

They definitely exceeded my expectations with their 3-course set lunch menu for our large group. The dining room is beautiful, the food presentation and taste were wonderful and the service exceptional. It absolutely made me want to return on another occasion. read more

In the area with so many tourist traps, this is one of the more descent ones with a bigger seating area where you don't bump into ppl 20 times on your way to pick up your order! The garden is also very pretty. The quality of food is low average, even the fries was not that good!! read more

A great location close to a canal between Djurgården and the mainland, what could go wrong? The food was not a disaster but not far from. As a starter I had a deep fried brie, port wine cooked figs, endive and toasted walnuts. It did taste nothing. Then I had a plaice meunière. It was okay but not more than that. This was a disappointment! read more

Good food! We have a great time in a really nice swedish restaurant. Great plank and drinks! read more

Villa Godthem is a unik place built in 1874 and has then been both a home and now a restaurant of high standard. We wanted to go somewhere nice for my husbands birthday so we reserved a table at Villa Godthem and got all fancied up to go. Once inside we were pleasantly greeted and told we could wait for our table by the bar. The bar area contained of some comfy chairs, a real lounge area sort of speak. We got a rather small table for 6 people and a baby but that was only noticed later when we all got our food. I (again) had the toast skagen but shared it with my mom, we were actually very surprised when the waiter came out with two plates that the chef had so kindly split our appetizer on. My husband and stepdad had Fru Nordins Stora Sillbricka which is a plethora of herring, together with onions and potatoes and of course a schnaaps with that. For main course we had the plankstek, this is a very traditional dish to have at Godthem as they are well known for their plankstek. It is charcoal grilled striploin served on wood, pommes duchesse bernaise, red wine sauce, lardens, spinach and roasted tomatoes. Others in my company had the same but with fish instead. My husband went for salmon and potatoe salad. unfortunately he had to eat it cold because the baby was acting up (she had small pancakes and loved it). The food was good, but here is the thing. It used to be better. I have always had the view that Godthem is pricy and very exclusive and only one of those things got confirmed .. the pricy part. I can easily find the same dish made in another restaurant with 1, more food and 2, better and 3, cheaper. Yes. The place has history and that seem to be added on to the price. In the end, I almost wish that we would have gone somewhere else, although it wasn't bad .. neither was it great. read more

Lovely summer afternoon spot on the water. Enjoyed wine, seafood and traditional Swedish flavors outside under the veranda on the way from church and to Skansen. Though not bleak roe, the Liveret was excellent with potato gallete for bread. Children size portions for steak, pancakes and fish casserole are very substantial. The Cordon Blue was delicious, and the baby potatoes best I've had. Tasted like gnocchi or dessert! Truly quixotic with excellent food. read more

We have had Christmas Buffet (Julbord) 6 times. The reason we have been back is that we thought the good buffet would come back. Sorry to say we miss the Buffett two years back This year we did not get any glögg (mulled wine) to start with even though it was stated it should be. The temperature in the restaurant was low for us almost freezing. Last year's review: Very good service but a questionable SCB. This year acceptable service and questionable Swedish Christmas Buffet. The best part was the "lutfisk" - Christmas Cod - fantastic. This year OK The herrings were good. This year OK. The gravlax was dry and questionable. This year small pieces and not that good. Why not thinly sliced pieces ? The Pates were dry- old ? This year the same. The Christmas jam was dry. This year we did not try it. The Jansson not bad. This year not that good, The rest maybe standard. Have they changed chef? This year same comment. What has happened? The following comment the same. Two persons SEK 50. Why do they charge for hanging your coat at the entrance ~ USD 3 per coat. They do not do that at e.g. Stockholm Fisk. This year the coffee was still not included. We will probably not come back next year. read more

The hamburgers were decent until wife came down with food-poisoning symptoms later in the day. I would advice you to stay away from the hamburgers unless you want to spend your evening in the bathroom and I mean your WHOLE evening there. Also kinda expensive, there are places where you can get sick for a much lower price. read more

We went for lunch. Villa Godthem serves rich and fresh foods, each satisfying. We ordered the Wallenbergare and a carpachio toast served with roe and a lemon creme (can't find the name). We had a citronpaj for desert. The Wallenbergare - a ground veal served with a crisp coating - was... decadent. It was moist, buttery, rich and savory. It was very good, but perhaps something I'd have only once a year. The "toast" was light and fresh, just as promised by our waiter. The lemon creme was the perfect, bright touch. It was topped with a fresh egg yolk (a favorite) giving the whole dish a smoothness. The cintronpaj (lemon pie) was served brûléed with fresh cream and citrus salad. It was a very nice end to the meal. The cute sunroom overlooks the lake - a nice place to take someone for a more upscale lunch. We'll probably be back with friends and parents. read more

Avoid! A restaurant that uses its superior location to squeeze money out of unsuspecting tourists. On a very rainy day we showed up at 11.55 having booked for 12 noon. Doors are closed and when we try to find a way in a rather snotty lady tells us to wait. A few minutes past the hour we are finally allowed to enter. Completely unprofessional service. Just as an example it is not so fun to have a waiter lean across your lap to put down a plate because he couldn't be bothered to go around the table.Poor knowledge about the menu and in particular about the wines. They forgot half our order. i could go on... A restaurant with these prices clearly shows ambition but sadly fails to deliver on that ambition. Food was nice though which earns them the few stars they get. read more
