    This place was well presented and staff were very pleasant. Nordic tapas is a great concept! Choose 3 dishes (light meal) or 5 dishes (equivalent to 3 course dinner). Each dish came out beautifully plated, but I found some of the dishes either had too many flavours clashing or too salty. I think the dishes could be simpler in true Nordic style. Let one component be the star of the plate!

    My absolute favourite spot in Stockholm. Great concept based around selecting dishes based upon flavour. The food is superbly prepared and presented and each flavour is paired with a wine. This naturally costs extra but the pairings really do enhance every aspect of the meal, even speaking as someone who generally avoids wine. The staff are attentive, friendly and knowledgeable - presenting each dish upon service. Worth every penny and an experience not to be missed.

    What a great place! Lovely interior, I really enjoyed their concept and the food was incredible. The scallops as well as the cod fish were my personal favourites. You can choose as many smaller dishes as you please and I would recommend the wine pairing. Great choices! The service is very attentive and professional.

    Beautiful interior, intimate feeling. Perfect for business meetings with delicious dinners making you wanting more… 5 dishes were enough to fill me up. They were all truly tasty. For 6 people we paid 8113 SEK including cocktails, wines and 5 taste dishes per person. My favorite dishes were the Almond desert and Espellete which included pork, almond and Chinese cabbage (perfectly combined)

    Exceptional! One of the most tasteful dinner experiences you will ever have! The vibes inside the restaurant are very pleasant. Comfortable seats and nice decoration, dim lighting, low music. All-together a very well-balanced combination of fusion atmosphere, yet keeping true to the nordic cuisine. The personnel are attentive, polite, and not too intrusive. When it comes to the food, there is great attention on flavour to a detailed level. All dishes taste great, with the highlight ingredient being in capitals on the menu. Starter portions are slightly small, which gradually get larger as you move into the main dish portions and the desert. I would recommend a 5-dish course. The quantity is adequate for the average person. If you are not a fan of too sweet flavours, I advice against the ananas dessert. The prices are very good for a fine dining restaurant. The quality and quantity are satisfying, taking you through an amazing experience of tastes. It is one of these restaurants where the name of the place really does justice to what it delivers.

    We had dinner for 2 , 3 courses choice, enough for a normal dinner, the food was just delicious. One of my choices was very sour cause the pickled berries and our waitress didn't hesitate to ask me to choose something else , very very good service ( 25 years in the branch myself and pretty critic) , thank you Sandra , definitely one of my top favourite restaurants in Stockholm.

    Visited Smak in Sep 2023. An absolute delight to find a tasting menu that has a dedicated vegetarian list of dishes and you can pick the ones you like! I had a choice of 10 savoury and 4 sweet. Picked 3 savoury and 2 sweet. Every single one utterly delicious and packed with complex flavours. Wine pairings available too. Definitely quite a pricy meal (but we'd had some much cheaper meals earlier in the week so could justify this as an end-of-the-holiday treat). I love the fact that their menu changes seasonally, and if I'm in Stockholm again any time soon, I will definitely be making another visit to Smak.

  • 3/5 Kylie M. 3 years ago on Google
    We ordered 14 dishes for two people, ended up to have only 11. The tricky is to order more warm dishes and not so many cold ones. As the warm ones are more tasty!! In general I will rate the service the highest, we got a very good waiter, tentative and welcoming. The food is good, but I wouldn't say it's in the best food I've tasted, it's still very good food, don't get me wrong, the way it served and how the order process is, is still fun and everything, just the taste is not as impressive as other restaurants with similar price. Overall I can recommend it, price is very good for a high end restaurant like this compare with other European cities.

    Quite difficult to understand the menu, however the dishes were great! Nice combination of tastes! Service was also great, attention to details and fast serving. Cool vibe inside.

    An amazing restaurant in a central location. Had many different "smak" (tastes) and also got full for the bucks spent. Not to mention the ever-helping and quality service. Brilliant place! 5/5 (A bit pricey though but it's a place you'd visit on special occasions, aka high-end)

    Fantastic restaurant. Tasting menu is brilliant and all courses are delicious, prepared with high care. Taste and look perfect.

  • 5/5 Sebastian G. 5 months ago on Google • 57 reviews
    Extraordinary restaurant with great ambience. The dishes are laid out by taste and prepared very creatively. The presentation is very appealing and there is the possibility to order a wine corresponding to the dish in each case. The service is attentive and friendly, and the price-performance ratio is reasonable. A recommendation for all who want a very special taste experience that will be remembered.

  • 3/5 소띠언니 1 month ago on Google • 42 reviews New
    I enjoyed it so much the last time I was here that I went back. The lunch vegetarian dish was so salty this time, but I think it's reasonable price with coffee and dessert included.

  • 5/5 Anne B. 9 months ago on Google • 35 reviews
    Tasting menu was so tasty and good! It was nice to see (or taste ;-)) that you can be bold with spicing in tasting menu too. Very delicious! Would 10/10 recommend! Wines were paired so well with the dishes, truly recommend going for the wine package!

  • 4/5 Rozaan van H. 5 months ago on Google • 31 reviews
    I had a delightful food experience at SMAK. I appreciated how each small dish was intricately linked to a distinct flavor profile.

  • 5/5 Pankaj G. 5 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Amazing experience. Food was amazing, the vegetarian menu was part of the theme and not an after thought. They paced the food with a lot of time in between, we sat for over 3.5 hours and it never felt rushed, even full or bloated after all the food. Wish we had the capacity to try each flavor. Highly recommended! Only negative was it was packed and noisy.

    (Translated by Google) Nice environment and good staff but the price tag did not really suit the food. Good, of course, but did not quite live up to my rather high expectations. (Original) Trevlig miljö och bra personal men prislappen passade inte riktigt maten. Gott helt klart men levde inte riktigt upp till mina ganska högt ställda förväntningar.

  • 5/5 Juliet R. 2 years ago on Google
    I love Smak with their fun concept of choosing different tastes instead of meals, which they all have specific wine pairings in small portions. The food has always been inventive, some wonderful in taste and some more mediocre. My husband and I had our first date here and it's always fun coming back for our first day we met anniversary:)

  • 4/5 Bjarke F. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice food, great tast with the 5 course menu you can tast a lot of different courses.

  • 4/5 Kim L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We ordered a seven course menu and preferred the cold dishes which were very tasty. The hot ones were a bit mundane and maybe not worth the price. The environment is nice and the serving goes away. (Original) Vi beställde en sjurättersmeny och föredrog de kalla rätterna som var mycket smakliga. De varma var litet alldagliga och kanske inte värda priset. Miljön är trevlig och serveringen går undan.

  • 4/5 Jens Z. 1 year ago on Google
    A great restaurant, the only thing i can complain about is that the description of the food did not always match. All in all i would recommend it.

  • 5/5 Elin Q. 2 years ago on Google
    A fantastic experience! High class throughout. The service was amazing with friendly and personal staff. Very professional. Not a single dish was disappointing. You order around 5 dishes based on the flavor presented on your menu with perfect wine pairing. The food is so beautifully prepared I would suggest taking this opportunity to try foods you wouldn’t normally try. I recommend going with the wine package to get the full flavor experience. If you find yourself in Stockholm, come here.

  • 4/5 Will C. 2 years ago on Google
    Their tasting menu was quite fun. The food was tasty except the Yuzu one which was overly sour. It overpowered other ingredients The ginger drink was a bit too sour as well. Other than that, most of dishes were great. The scallop, sirloin tartar and the pork belly were wonderful.

  • 4/5 Dripto S. 2 years ago on Google
    Mixed impressions on this one - started with a bang, went for 7 tasters without the wine pairing, just did a cocktail instead, but took 3.5 hours for the whole meal! I didn’t think it warranted that much time. The tartare and the carpaccio were excellent, but the garlic was underwhelming as was the pineapple. Just took too long..even the booking was from 8:00 pm to 10:30 pm, so for 2.5 hours only.

  • 5/5 Sanam L. 2 years ago on Google
    My favourite kind of food! The flavours were really well put together and I enjoyed the 5 flavour meal (although it was a bit too much food and I could’ve gone with the 3 flavour meal instead) but I was eager to try all the dishes I liked and it was worth it :) the service was great and the ambiance was excellent.

  • 4/5 Anthony M. 2 years ago on Google
    Essentially fancy food tapas. Arranged as "tastes" instead of meals, focusing on a certain type of flavour. Highly recommend if you are willing to spend a bit more for a smaller and more intimate dinner tasting menu.

  • 4/5 Fredrik 1 year ago on Google
    It a nice fine dining place if you go there for dinner. The theme where you compose your own menu is innovative and fun. Food is OK but below Guide Michelin levels but then so are the prices. Wine recommendations were all good. We paid 1500 SEK for a seven course meal incl. Wine which is 6cl per dish. Price value will make me come back.

  • 5/5 Marine L. 1 year ago on Google
    I radomly chose this place to eat while scrolling on google maps lol. What a great discovery!!! The food is so delicious and full of flavor. One od the only place in stockholm where tou can book a table easily. Be sure to ask the menu in english and the vegetarian menu before ordering. This is a great location for a special evening

  • 5/5 Ewelina S. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been there so many times and need to say that is one of the best places in Stockholm especially for lunch! For me one of the best restaurants that I have ever been. Tasty food with a lot of flavour. Amazing menu. I really recommend it 😋😋

  • 5/5 Gerald R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food! Very well made dishes and interesting approach in the menu. Wine pairing is very well tought as well. One of the best cocktails I've had in Stockholm ad well. The interior is a bit "heavy" but I guess it will feel nice and warm in the winter . Staff was welcoming and relaxed. A great overall experience so I would recommend it for sure.

    everything was so great, can't be better. food, atmosphere, service, wines, so forth so on, all combined, the experience you are going to have in Smak would be beyond your dreams.

  • 5/5 YUKI K. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice place, nice atmosphere and good food. Easy to choose lunch menu because it's set and you can choose from meat, fish or veg. They have special beer which Melker Andersson invented and the taste is fresh and aromatic, perfect match to dish. The coffee here is so good, which is not so common in restaurants. Recommend coffee after meal!!

    Tolle und leckere Erlebnisküche, gemütliches und ansprechendes Ambiente. Personal sehr freundlich. Es hat uns sehr gefallen und wir würden wieder kommen. Zur Anmerkung: Essen für meinen Geschmack tendenziell etwas zu salzig oder zu sauer (Essig).

  • 5/5 Kristian E. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very good lunch, surprisingly cheap for the quality of the food. It would have been fun to be able to order something from the rest of the menu even during lunch, but it is completely understandable that it is not possible when everyone is fighting for survival during the current pandemic. (Original) Mycket bra lunch, förvånansvärt billigt för kvalitén på maten. Hade varit kul att kunna beställa något från övriga menyn även under lunchen, men fullt förståeligt att det inte går när alla kämpar för överlevnad under rådande pandemi.

  • 2/5 Andreas S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately a big disappointment. Of ten dishes tried, two were really good, one ok, six bad and one completely inedible. Half of the dishes tasted like chili mayonnaise and after a while it became almost a joke around the table how the restaurant would get chili mayonnaise into the next dish. Too much of everything which meant that the flavors did not come out together with odd flavor combinations that did not work at all. The food was bad regardless of the price level and when you take into account the prices, it is provocative how bad it was. The service was ok. Uninterested and uncharismatic servitis. It is incomprehensible how the restaurant has received such a high rating. (Original) Tyvärr en stor besvikelse. Av tio provade rätter var två riktigt bra, en ok, sex st dåliga och en helt oätlig. Hälften av rätterna smakade chilimajonäs och efter ett tag blev det nästan ett skämt runt bordet hur restaurangen skulle få in chilimajonäs i nästa rätt. För mkt av allt vilket gjorde att smakerna inte kom fram tillsammans med udda smakkombinationer som inte alls fungerade. Maten var dålig oavsett prisnivån och när man tar hänsyn till priserna så är det provocerande hur dåligt det var. Servicen var ok. Ointresserad och okarismatisk servitis. Det är obegripligt hur restaurangen har fått så högt betyg.

  • 3/5 Phibappé T. 5 years ago on Google
    With many small dishes that you can try on. The presentation of the food is very nice but the taste is not as good for me personally. The food is relatively sour overall and not fits my taste. The restaurant atmosphere is very nice, quite classy. The service is actually very attentive and the team has good recommendations.

  • 5/5 Alice Cavell B. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience. We opted for the 5 course tasting menu, made more exciting by the fact you choose your own dishes from the menu. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to us non Swedish speaking folk. The food was delicious and paired with a variety of wines. Atmospheric venue. Would highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Guy S. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent restaurant with delicious food. We had the 5 course set menu, which I had with a wine pairing. The wines were ok and brought different tastes to match with the plates. Each and every plate / taste was amazing and better then the last. Whether it was fish, beef, pork it was all good. Each and every plate brings multiple flavours and textures which really complement each other. I “only” tried 5 different tastes. I will definitely go back to try the others. One of my new favourite restaurant in Stockholm.

  • 5/5 Raul O. 3 years ago on Google
    We had New Year's Eve and the menu was really great and very tasty. The wine pairing was nice as well. I wish we'd had time to come back to taste more things, but had to fly back home. However I think that they have one of the best quality-cost ratios in the city. And of top of that the staff was gentle and helpful. A lovely experience in the end.
