    The waiters were very caring and understanding. Ambiance was warm, lighting was dim and pleasant. The food was very, very tasty. If I come to Stockholm again, I would like to stop by and experience it again. I definitely recommend you to try it.

    One of the top 5 meals of my life. Such an amazing dining experience in a beautiful venue. The chef was very personable and served an excellent menu. Get the big tasting meal, it is well worth the extra cost for the experience

    Bad service in General: 1. They have not checked the details of the reservation (reservation was for a table outside) 2. Waiter not provided any recommendations 3. Metrodotel it looks like checking only selected guests 4. During the first course waiter not even has asked( if I liked selected meal or not, same for Metrodotel) 5. Cleaning of the table happening with a huge delay waiter just ignoring dirty dishes . 6. Waiter during cleaning just dropping plate on the plate with a horrible sound. 7.Cream Brule was dead. Not recommending this place.

    Very good michelin starred restaurant with contemporary classics. We had a tasty dinner here. Food was on point, with no surprises. But the overall experience was flawed. The elevated wine selection was a bit overpriced for my taste. I have to say, the welcome experience was rather cold and uncomfortable in a great hall with no music or welcome drink. Service was also mixed. Our table next to the kitchen door and right behind a service station shouldn’t exist to beginn with. The nightclub next doors was also interfering with the guest rooms ambiance. They have been trying to get to a 2 star level for some time now, thus far unsuccessful. I think the food is not what’s holding them back.

    A restaurant where you can try authentic Swedish plates in a cozy old style interior setting. The service was very good, but the food was so so for me (not bad, but not special).

  • 1/5 Christer A. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was good but not amazing (far below expectations). The service around the food was also good but the wine services was not up to expectations. Also we were not offered any wine with our cheese selection and neither any avec after the meal. In summary this place feels more like a tourist trap rather than fine dining..

    (Translated by Google) If it was possible to put 1/4 of a star, I would have done it. Incredibly uncomfortable to be in a place where women are treated as objects. (Original) Om det gick att sätta 1/4-dels stjärna hade jag gjort det. Otroligt obehagligt att befinna sig på ett ställe där kvinnor behandlas som objekt.

    (Translated by Google) Powerful, so incredibly good! Everything from the reception in the lobby, to the service and all the awesome staff! The food is world class! 8 dishes tonight and everything just floated on, immensely good selection of drinks. The environment, the staff and the food as I said! Mmmmm I'm just saying! 10 out of 10 👌🏻😘🏆 (Original) Mäktigt, såå otroligt bra! Allt ifrån mottagandet i lobbyn, till service och all grymt bra personal! Maten håller världsklass! 8 rätter ikväll och allt bara flöt på, ofantligt bra utbud av dryck. Miljön, personalen och maten som sagt! Mmmmm säger jag bara! 10 av 10 👌🏻😘🏆

    (Translated by Google) When I have been to Operakällan, it has been very ok. Nothing wow. Unfortunately, it is also sad that they back their star chef who commits sexual harassment. No, neither fresh food nor morals. (Original) När jag har varit hos Operakällan har det varit högst ok. Inget wow. Tyvärr är det också tråkigt att dom backar deras stjärnkock som utför sexuella trakasserier. Nä, varken fräsch mat eller moral.

    Splendid! The service, food and environment is tip top. Watching the super co-ordinated service staff move around like a ballet performance while meeting every little glance from the guests is just magical! Every moment, from the first reception to the final departure feels almost perfected.

    In less than two months the team at Restaurant Operakällaren have transformed the menu into a true culinary experience that is on par with the best restaurants in Scandinavia. The eight course tasting menu and wine pairing. Magnifique!!!

  • 5/5 Loni A. 10 months ago on Google
    We ordered the Opera tasting menu, some dishes were meh, but most were delicious. The bread and lamb servings were our favorites. The service and overall experience a 10, food 8, atmosphere 10. (We have eaten at some incredible restaurants so maybe my rating on the food seems critical, perhaps most would give food a 9/10.....It was definitely executed at a 10 but overall flavors and assembly of dishes I'd say 8). Love how we weren't rushed and we really savored our time in that gorgeous dining room. Quick edit, forgot to mention my husband has a dairy allergy and they went above and beyond to accommodate his tasting menu.

    This was one of the most remarkable dining experiences I have ever had. The physical building and dining area are historic and feel regal. The service was beyond professional; every need anticipated in totally unintrusive ways. The food was superb. While it was a bit of a splurge, this meal was one I will never forget.

    Excellent and pleasant service in Stockholm's most beautiful setting. We had the set menu and the food was generally good (although the fish was too salty) and was enhanced by excellent wine pairings and a decent selection of beers. The acoustics make for a wonderful, relaxed night of conversations across generations. The staff is just the right level of formal and friendly. On the flip side, the experience upon entry feels a bit strange with its empty hallway, and can be improved upon. Also, one of our servings had a piece of plastic in it which we luckily caught before eating it. This, unfortunately, lowers my overall food rating to a 3, given this is a Michelin starred restaurant (and priced accordingly).

  • 5/5 Álex C. 1 month ago on Google • 59 reviews New
    Outstanding in all aspects. Not only is the food amazing, but the experience as a whole is very unique. The service is incredibly well coordinated, it really shows they get excellent training.

    Incredible restaurant with fantastic and friendly staff! The views around the centre of Stockholm are also absolutely breathtaking. When sitting down to eat, the courses were all unique and delicious and paired with various top quality wines. Looking forward to coming back!

    (Translated by Google) Classics in STH that you must visit every time you are here. Herring tray, beer and schnapps Biff Rydberg with a good bottle of red. Not anywhere I think is better.

    To dine here is a superb experience. The waiters are so friendly and service you. The food was amazing. We tried the taster menu with wine, this is highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Matilda H. 3 years ago on Google
    If you can accept the cost there is not much to complain about here. The home and cradle of fine dining in Sweden. Heavy with tradition but with great culinary competence and the most extensive and prestigious wine cellar in the country. The Christmas buffe is extensive, partly tasting menu, partly buffe. Excellent quality. Drink pairing available but is rather complicated for a buffe dinner why better select your own drinks. Outstanding service. Expensive but good value.

    Really nice opportunity to dwell in Swedish cuisine. We started with an entry dish which in my case was the #shrimp + #caviar toast and a sweet virgin cocktail. Then a #gambas salad and to close a really nice chocolate fondant. My colleague ordered a nice tablet with different tastes of #haring which a pleasant surprise. In sum, a very nice choice!

    Excellent food in a beautiful restaurant in a very nice area of the city. We were luckily able to get a table for dinner without reservations on a Saturday night, but I'd recommend making a reservation in advance. The chocolate fondant was the best dessert I ate in Stockholm!

  • 5/5 Jonas B. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice restaurant. The waiters are always nice to you and the plate looks nice. I have enjoyed both dinner and lunch here. In group and just two people. Would reccomend it. Although it may rather be more fitted for adults and not so much for young people.
