    worst place in Stockholm! To avoid at all costs! Very expensive. Very low quality food. Very low service quality. Extremely rude staff. You'll be eating on dirty tablecloths on which many other customers have already eaten during the day. As I asked to change the tablecloth, the waiter said they can't do it and ignored us. As soon as they see you're not going to spend a lot of money, they become very rude. That happened to us and to the table next to us. When it came to pay, the waiter asked about the service, I said it was very bad that the tables were dirty. He answered, we have too many customers, we can't change the table cloths. Then he asked, how much tip you want to pay? I said nothing. He insisted asking my friends also. Avoid this place like hell!

    This place is an absolute tourist trap with over priced food and drinks. We had a dish of meatballs for 150 krons (it was discounted from 190!), but we decided to go ahead trusting that quality and quantity would go along with the price. The quality was very poor and the portions were ridiculous: 4 small meatballs that could be served in any plane, some artificial mashed potatoes and a bunch of McDonald's lookalike pickles... However, the biggest scam was on the drinks. We asked for a wine recommendation, and literally no wine was below 400 krons, therefore we decided to go for some tap water, which was denied to us (most places in Stockholm do serve you tap water), and we had to purchase a bottle of water of 50cl which went up to 75 krons (this is over 7 euros...). I literally have very few positive things to say about this restaurant, perhaps the fact that decoration and music were decent I guess... Overall, very poor in all of its aspects. We paid for about 200 krons each for average meatballs + a glass of water. Do yourself a favour and avoid this place.

    I had dinner here. If you are a tourist, be very careful. They take advantage of tourists. They said they took AMEX & then did not. They told me to go to a cash machine! I had 1 drink, 1 Grilled Salmon, a side order of vegetables, garlic bread & a glass of water and they charged me $78.00 US Dollars. And yes, they charged me for water. Outrageous! The food was good but $78.00! I live in New York and have never paid $78 for a dinner even at a very expensive restaurant. Tourists beware.

    We sat down and then read the reviews for this restaurant-- honestly we should have got up but we were too tired and hungry. We ordered the meatballs and fish starter; both were disgusting. They try to mask flavors with mayonnaise and mustard. The service was horrendous. Don't let the crowd of people sitting outside fool you- it's gross!

    Never again! Came here through a book-a-table offer and will never return. They were unfriendly, the food was bad quality, too expensive and too small portions. they tried to double and triple charge us for the for drinks we never had. very unprofessional and a typical tourist trap!

    (Translated by Google) Black hair in milk, which for some reason the waiter brought to black coffee. The latte is not bad. We waited a very long time for the bill. (Original) Чёрные волосы в молоке, которое официант зачем-то принёс к чёрному кофе. Латте неплохой. Очень долго ждали счёт.

    Tourist trap. We came as two students to try the meatballs and these guys charged us 150SEK for 2 littles bottles of water (!), also the meatballs themselves were terrible. We noticed that the guy at the entrance seemed a bit like a charlatan but went anyway... Do not make the same mistake, this place is an embarrassment for Stockholm’s restoration and tourism.

    Warning!!! Totally a scam restaurant, avoid this place! The waiters are all nice in the beginning, they tell you wrong prices and trying to trick you when you order something, however when you're about to pay you find out completely different prices and additional fees and the waiters are suddenly aggressive and don't understand what you trying to explain them. Do not visit this place, unless you are willing to pay twice the price than you actually ordered!

    Had a great family meal out planned, but regrettably ended up getting out late. As a result the great restaurants we had planned it visit were all full. With 2 children under 12 getting hungry and tired we gave in and had a meal here. Mediocre at best. Crap food at horrendous prices plus extortionate wine/beer. Moral of the story? Trust your instincts of it looks touristy and crap it will be and in Stockholm will probably break your budget too. #worstmealoutever

    Very rude staff. Very high price and also weird menu. Wanted a pizza without tomato (as I’m allergic) and was told the pizza was premade. Asked for a burger WITHOUT tomato (once again: allergies) and got one with tomato. Asked for cranberry juice and got orange juice instead Just a disappointment of a meal. Although the burger was really good. If you ignore the tomato part.

    (Translated by Google) We ate pasta and the taste was good but not a single vegetable more than two straws of arugula. Pasta with pale chicken pieces really doesn't have to cost just over SEK 200. Could easily spice up the dish with tomatoes and colorful peppers or other greens! Also took each glass of wine, well it wasn't anything special either! The staff okay, except they forgot to serve water to the wine, I think that belongs. No, unfortunately, all in all we thought it was expensive and not a culinary experience! (Original) Vi åt pasta och smaken var god men inte en enda grönsak mer än två strån av ruccola. Pasta med bleka kycklingbitar behöver verkligen inte kosta dryga 200 kronor. Kunde piffat upp rätten enkelt med tomater och färgrik paprika eller annat grönt! Tog även varsitt glas vin, njae det var inte heller något särskilt! Personalen okej, förutom att dom glömde att servera vatten till vinet, det tycker jag hör till. Nej, tyvärr, sammantaget tyckte vi mest det blev dyrt och inte någon kulinarisk upplevelse!

And the one star is still too much, no thanks and goodbye if you go. (Original) Vorsicht, eine unglaubliche Abzocke und Touristenfalle. Kleines Bier 9,-, Schale mit Nüssen 5,-, Burger ohne Sauce mit Mini Fries 19,-, Schale Oliven 6,50! alle Preise in Euro!! Und der eine Stern ist noch zu viel, kein danke und auf Wiedersehen wenn man geht.

  • 1/5 Sylwester Dariusz B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A typical tourist trap. A terrible pizza, you can only eat it with garlic sauce served to a side dish in the form of several small prawns on ice. The terrible staff, aimed only at the cancellation of guests was not able to give a drink from the card because he did not know how to do it. Like fatal food, high prices (Original) Typowa turystyczna pułapka. Pizza okropna, można ją zjeść tylko z sosem czosnkowym podawanym do przystawki w postaci kilku małych krewetek na lodzie. Okropny personelu, nastawiony tylko na kasowanie gości nie był w stanie podać drinka z karty bo nie wiedział jak go zrobić. Jak jedzenia fatalna, ceny wysokie

    Tourist trap. Also the signage says vaguely “bistro” etc, on the red awning, not “järntorgspumpen”, because they know the reviews are so bad. Don’t be fooled. Waiters were shouting that we could not have bottled water at the table — have to buy feom the house. I get that policy for alcohol... not water. Food mediocre.

    (Translated by Google) Good food and good location but way overpriced for what you get and poor service. This restaurant is more of a tourist trap than a great place to taste Swedish cuisine. Good plates and nice situation but really expensive and staff not friendly. This restaurant is more a tourist trap than a good place to eat Swedish meals. (Original) Bon plats et bonne situation mais prix beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c’est et service médiocre. Ce restaurant est plus un attrape touriste qu’un bon lieu où déguster de la cuisine suédoise. Good plates and nice situation but really expensive and staff not friendly. This restaurant is more a tourist trap than a good place to eat Swedish meals.

    (Translated by Google) I would also give zero stars if that was possible. Here is a small Sprite 75 SEK and the small beer about 90 SEK .... the food is good but certainly not worth its price. Let the fingers of this tourist rip off! (Original) Ich würde auch null Sterne vergeben wenn dies möglich wäre. Hier kostet ein kleines Sprite 75 SEK und das kleine Bier über 90 SEK....das Essen ist gut aber sicher seinen Preis auch nicht wert. Lasst die FInger von dieser Touristenabzocke!

    Service was fine, but food almost inedible. Meatballs that were obviously out of a frozen bag. Small serving size, meatballs were still cold in the middle. Tasteless mashed potato. They might even have removed some of their signage because of the bad reviews, I couldn't find their name from the street.

  • 1/5 Jan E. 5 years ago on Google
    First: Think about it, why the owner doesn't even think about replying on all those bad comments. Second: Never again! We had to wait 45min until we get our COLD starters. Then another 50min until we get the main course. We didn't even get the food together. After 10min I get me main course made of spoiled fish and shrimps! The waiter was very dissappointed by the kitchen and felt obviousely very uncomfortable. He tried his best...

  • 1/5 Firdom F. 4 years ago on Google
    Before i had the chance to ask about the food, the italian guy said if you want money i dont have it.....that's very rude to say to customers who's willing to eat at an restaurant. Unfortunately this restaurant seems more like a tourist trap....since I'm not a tourist and live there it felt like i was going to be scammed by coming to this restaurant..

  • 2/5 Corinna V. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I am not sure if it was still the same operator of the pre-reviewers ... there is a daily special with 6 dishes, which the service has talked out directly, because there are much higher quality options on the menu (Köttbullar with moose meat , Ceasar salad with fish, ...). Very unpleasant and pure rip-off! Of course, the price is hearty, the location in and of itself nice. We would not go back, but the portions were much too small and the service too greasy. (Original) Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob es noch der gleiche Betreiber der Vorrezensenten war... es gibt ein daily special mit 6 Gerichten, die uns die Bedienung direkt ausgeredet hat, weil es auf der Karte viel hochwertigere Varianten gibt (Köttbullar mit Elch-Fleisch, Ceasar Salad mit Fisch,...). Sehr unangenehm und reine Abzocke! Natürlich ist der Preis deftig, die Location an und für sich aber nett. Wir würden nicht wieder hingehen, dafür waren die Portionen viel zu klein und der Service zu schmierig.

    (Translated by Google) Are you looking for a culinary adventure? Then you are exactly right here!!! From frozen pizza to refilled water bottles with tap water, everything is there. According to Kellner, the TK pizza is also made and baked "in its own special way" ("our own style"). The best is the super bargain price for only 110 euros for 3 pizzas and 1 citizen. I'm just excited about this rip-off Thumbs up. (Not) (Original) Sind sie auf der Suche nach einem kulinarischem Abenteuer? Dann sind sie hier genau richtig!!! Von Tiefkühlpizza bis aufgefüllten Wasserflaschen mit Leitungswasser ist alles dabei. Die TK-Pizza wird laut Kellner auch "auf ihre eigene, besondere Weise" hergestellt und gebacken ("our own style"). Das Beste ist der super Schnäppchenpreis für nur umgerechnet 110 Euro für 3 Pizzen und 1 Bürger. Ich bin einfach nur begeistert von dieser Abzocke - Daumen hoch. (nicht)

  • 1/5 Chris W. 7 years ago on Google • 1 review
    Very dishonest restaurant. I and my wife got lured into the restaurant by the prices posted outside the door, only to find that the prices are different on the menu once sat down. The staff kept recommending the fish appetiser for two while the price on the menu was just for one, as we only found that they charged us 2x the listed price when the bill came. We asked for warm water and gave us cold tap water and charged us SEK39 each. The staff also asked us if we wanted garlic bread and gave us a small basket each, so that they can charge us for two. Horrible experience on Xmas eve!

    Definitely a tourist trap. We just wanted to try some Swedish food and thought any place in Gamla Stan would be decent. The service was so poor, it's hard to describe. The food was average and portions were too small (for a homely dish like swedish meatballs). Goulash Soup was basically tomatoes and meat in water, no flavour. The waiter tried to charge us 65KR per water and was extremely argumentative when we expressed our concern over the price that hadn't even been mentioned on the menu, so we paid 45KR per water instead which was still highly overpriced as we had expected just normal tap water. Avoid at all costs.
