    An authentic Scandinavian restaurant, strong character and personality with a chic interior. They offer a huge collection of wonderful wines on the menu in addition to nice cocktails. They also have their in house Gin, Portals Gin. We ordered starters and main courses, all of them were super tasty and beautifully garnished. My vegan friend was extremely happy with his dishes and the lamb was also fantastic.

    For a main, I had the “Fallow deer from Sörmland with spicy cheese croquette, baked celeriac and truffle sauce”. It was INCREDIBLE. I also had the oysters with vinaigrette (which were delicious) and the deep fried sourdough (which was fine)

    Exquisite. You might think that a local restaurant would struggle to find its niche when the density of restaurants in the area is so high. Not for Portal, side by side of warm friendliness and service eye for detail and very customer, the food is genuinely thought through; with roots in farm fresh healthy veggies and selected fish and meats. Don’t miss, and do book in advance, even if for lunch.

    Portal would be a popular restaurant in any city in the world. Filled with the handsome people of all persuasions, it was a scene. I set back the hip quotient exponentially. Food was consistent and good. Cocktails were made well, and throughout the restaurant liquor flowed. You will have a good time at Portal. Service was nice, but quite taken with itself. Their flippant attitude was the one negative.

    The service is good, quality of food is also good-but for the price level, it’s overpriced and you don’t get much food. We were hungry again one hour after lunch. Still, it’s an enjoyable visit, the ambiance and service are nice, the place is small but cozy.

    Lunch We both had an excellent Schnitzel, perfectly crusted and light and finished with dessert, a great cappuccino and an interesting rulltårta, small but so good. And excellent service from attentive and knowledgeable waiter. Absolutely five star! BUT with a bill of 650:-, excluding the tip, I was pretty surprised to be told to leave, by the head waiter or restaurant mgr, since there were other guests coming in. Especially surprised since there were tables that had been there longer than us. Was it because there were no men at our table or that one of us was a person of color? Idk, just strange.

    Top notch food in an eloquent setting. Wasn’t all that hungry and went for the fish dish and it was amazing. What appeals to a beer knurd like me is the rotating showcase of Swedish micro breweries. During my visit Stigbergets Bryggeri was in the spotlight and served as a great backdrop to the menu. Well worth a visit.

    Excellent place for sharing meals. The food is simple yet extraordinary. Very nice pairings of flavours and unassuming ingredients. Loved the interior design too. Highly recommend the smoked trout dish and chanterelles.

  • 5/5 Collin D. 11 months ago on Google • 239 reviews
    Found this place on the Eaters guide and sure did not disappoint. They do have a sister bar next door as well. We walked into what seemed a very lowkey restaurant serving traditional Swedish fare with a twist. For our reservation, we sat at the bar, and it was lovely. The menu has many options, and the wine list is expansive. Service was fantastic by everyone, and super friendly. Everything we had was very tasty as well -

  • 5/5 Malhun F. 1 year ago on Google • 77 reviews
    We were there for our wedding anniversary. We were very pleased with the main courses along with the desserts. But apart from the quality of their all dishes, they were really kind to us when our 4 month old was crying non-stop. Definitely recommended for a special day!

  • 5/5 Julia V. 1 month ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    This adorable place was highly recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. Definitely make a reservation in advance. Wine list by the glass was fantastic and well preserved by Coravjn. Roughly 20 wines by the glass w Coravin so you know they are fresh! I joined for lunch and sat at the bar. Service was exceptional. Quite friendly and steered me right. I had the scallop crudo, the trout and dessert along with two glasses of wine. The food was light, fresh, delicious and appealing.

  • 5/5 Sebastian L. 5 years ago on Google • 27 reviews
    One of the best restaurants in Stockholm in my opinion. The restaurant itself is simplistic and not at all pretentious. Superb service with a nice call atmosphere. Then the food comes out. The photos speak for themselfes, its incredibly good! The only small let down was the dessert which didn't quite hold up to the rest of the food.

  • 5/5 Pete K. 1 year ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Delicious! Excellent intimate dinner for 2, despite being usually busy, with delightful service, and each course a treat. Starter and main was very sufficient. A minus was that the choice of meat size for delicious shared option was not intuitive for us, with 400g definitely more than enough for two. Big plus: Truly unusually good choice of nonalcoholic drinks compared to day Lila Ego. A minus: bill was large. But all round excellent. Looking forward to returning for special occasion or important dinner with friend or friends.

    What a superb spot to grab a bite! The interiors are very interesting (check out the inverted structures on the ceiling which hide vents) - the food is fantastic! A bit of a trek from where we were staying but well worth the trip!

  • 5/5 Will P. 7 years ago on Google
    Hip, modern with a flair for the Swedish classics. Their extensive wine list bridges Europe and the best of the US (aka, California - but I'm biased here). We had the Köttviker, Fläskterrine (pork terrine), potato snacks, and for mains, the beef and char. Excellent presentation, modern twists on classic fare, and spot on execution. Definitely recommend if you find yourself in the decidedly family-oriented Vasastan neighborhood!

  • 5/5 Thomas N. 7 years ago on Google
    The food is very fresh and creative. Adequately seasoned. Experimental new combinations that work wonderfully together. Price is even kept very agreeable. Professional staff, low decibel levels and nice decorations further add to the five stars. Menu is rotated after x amount of weeks. Reservations is likely necessary.

  • 5/5 Lauren S. 9 months ago on Google
    We had an excellent dinner here tonight. We came early and brought our kids, they loved the meatballs. The celeriac schnitzel was absolutely delicious. The ambiance and room is lovely! Highly recommend. Helen, our server, was a wonderful part of the evening too, the kids loved her.

  • 5/5 David S. 1 year ago on Google
    Innovative and delicious dinner at Portal. My research showed Portal as a must visit restaurant in Stockholm. I just happened to walk into it, captured a table and had a delicious schnitzel and very innovative berry compote dessert. Along with excellent service. Highly recommended.

    Had a lunch Schnitzel and it tasted great. This is a very elegant venue.

  • 5/5 Gemzel H. 8 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    The vibe is a welcoming one. The appetizers options are varied and we had chips with bleak roe which were delicious. After that, a blini with chantarelles and roe introduced a rainbow of flavors that went from the mild soft blini with lovely cooked mushrooms combined with bleak roe covered with small spring flowers. A pause was followed by a main course which was a charred trout on a bed of small potatoes, surrounded by a milky sauce sprinkled with caviar. The whole experience: unforgettable and repetible.

  • 5/5 Ann Valerie T. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing vibe, go there if you want to treat yourself to amazingly well prepared food. I could feel the love put into my cod, the lobster sauce was out of this world. The owner is quite friendly and warm🤗 I would go back there anytime💕

  • 4/5 Jesse P. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place. Lovely service. Nice food. Ate beef cheek for lunch with truffle mash, beef jus and pickled red onions. The dish overall was nice but lacked some simple touches to give it a little more complexity; it felt too small and too simple to charge 155kr. I left feeling hungry. The beef could have been braised a few degrees higher overnight to take off the slight chewiness and add a little more spices and seasoning because the meat tasted a bit bland. Despite the criticism it is only meant to be genuinely constructive, not demeaning. I would recommend this place to try as it is nice overall.
