    This was one of the highlights of Stockholm. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. The food was excellent so much so that I forced down a dessert to complement my first two course. I highly recommend the salted salmon - to be honest, I doubt there is anything on the menu which wouldn't impress. I highly recommend this restaurant - it caters for all budgets.

    We really enjoyed our meal. If I would have rated it the night if I might have given it a 5, but we have been to many great places since which changes my rating to very good instead of excellent. We all enjoyed our meals so not a bad choice, but if you are looking for something really spectacular you might want to try out some other spots. That being said we really loved the chèvre beet salad.

    Good food, great portions, lots of beer. Excellent prices for Stockholm! Busy. Wild mushrooms and pickled herring plate were fantastic. Elk meatballs very good. Wish they had Glogg in winter.

    Came here for dinner when I was in Stockholm, and it was a very authentic, old-school restaurant that serves classics. The food is very reasonably price, and the portions are very large. I had two different dishes, the potatoes with fish caviar, which was very good, and the shrimp toast, which had a bit too much mayo and felt heavy, and a glass of wine. All together the total came out to a very affordable price. The restaurant has a pretty outdoor seating area too. Worth a visit.

    Tradiotional swedish food and breweries. The menu seems to change every day. I had a white wine poached salmon which was great. A wide variety of beers is offered. A nice and fast service complete the good impression.

    Service was seriously slow. Meatball was very tasty and the portion was satisfying. One of the male waiter -wearing glasses- asked me a very rude question like "Who seated you at this table?" This approach was pretty disrespectful. I told the waitress, who was a lady, that I could get up and can sit another table and she was extremely polite. I gave 3 stars because the food was delicious, otherwise I should have given 2 stars because of the disrespectful attitude of the waiter.

    The best pickled herring platter I had in Stockholm. All of them delicious. Even though it was a starter the portion was huge. Loved it. The pan fried herring and the meatballs were great as well. We were the only English speaking people when having lunch. All the rest were Swedish people.

    Recommended by one French couple who are living in Stockholm. Turned out it’s really good and authentic Swedish food with a lot of drinks to match with your food. We ordered the meatballs and steak which are both tasting good! Especially the meatballs which mostly had been eaten by my 2.5 years old daughter who is not a big fan of normal meatballs.

    Hearty Swedisch food, basic but really good. Prices are good and they have a broad selection of (regional) beers. The atmosphere is nice and the servers are friendly. Would recommend.

    Came recommended by my local guide and really didn't disappoint! A short walk from Gamla stan, both the fish and beef dishes were absolutely delish! Dispute a full house on a Monday afternoon, they service was fast. Beer on tap had several varieties of lager and IPAs, all locally brewed. Did I forget to mention they have a free salad bar as well? One of my favorite meals in Sweden!

  • 5/5 Davide P. 4 months ago on Google • 158 reviews
    Third time for us and it's always a pleasure to have a great meal in this typical swedish restaurant! The atmosphere is really welcoming and I like the low lights with the wooden furniture...the food is awesome and the prices are great compared to other restaurants in the same area!

  • 4/5 Brian C. 7 months ago on Google • 93 reviews
    Traditional Swedish food done very well. Great atmosphere, we were a very large group of about 35 with a set menu that had been ordered ahead and they handled it very well with only a few small issues. Everyone had an excellent time

    Found a good pub for lunch while walking around the city during the summer. The location is near the water, however, there was a large construction going on in front of the restaurant so sitting outside was loud. The restaurant has been around for 30 years so it has a lot of history inside. Bla Dorren meaning "the blue door". The interior is a pub so the interior is made out of lots of wood. The servers were friendly & accommodating. The food was good. We ordered hamburger, small salad & beet salad. The food overall was good. Maybe next time the construction outside will be completed.

    Tried this place because of the reviews and it wasn’t wrong! Very tasty, home made food for a good prices. The service was on point and we tried new Swedish dishes because our waitress recommended us (they were amazing). Greetings to Jasmine, she is very professional waitress with good sense of humour. Overall, we were truly satisfied :)

    Cozy Swedish pub. Meatballs, Pytt Bellman, and trout were all tasty and filling. Food arrived quickly but no rush. Friendly relaxed service.

  • 5/5 John Rotenstein (. 8 months ago on Google • 37 reviews
    Unwilling to wait at the nearby People's eatery? Then come for meatballs at Blå Dörren! A daily menu, a nice atmosphere and very fast food delivery. They provided crispbread while waiting but the food came very quickly. I had Deer Meatballs that were yummy even without the supplied cream sauce. It came with lingonberries, cucumber salad and mashed potato. I ordered a warm beetroot salad as a side, which was also quite nice. A very satisfying meal and now I can cross-off meatballs on my Swedish To Do list!

  • 5/5 Orla 5 months ago on Google • 31 reviews
    Lovely food, great staff. A really nice pickled herring starter for anyone who wants to try a traditional Swedish dish. Both the people I was here with had steak and that it was one of the best steak dinners they’ve ever had…great praise!!

  • 5/5 Ardian L. 1 year ago on Google
    The best place to eat while you stay in Stockholm! The food was delicious and the staff was wonderful and helpful, Thank you!

  • 5/5 Jan J. 3 years ago on Google
    Very good food in the classic Swedish husmanskost style, served in a historic venue and reasonably priced considering what you get. The service personnel is fantastic and is what makes this a 5-star place. Our waitress here was the nicest and most professional server we've come across in Sweden so far.

  • 5/5 Christine 1 year ago on Google
    Really fantastic service! Very good food too. I read reviews on rude or slow service, and that’s definitely not the case for me. My server is so nice! She took my order almost instantly and my warm food was at my table within ten minutes. The meatballs are delicious. I really enjoyed the warm chèvre cheese appetizer as well. The wine was a heavy pour (very nice bartender) and the ambience was lovely. I recommend this restaurant and will eat here again. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Sebastian K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice lunch place with very reasonable prices. If you are in the area and look for some lunch, look no longer. Youll get a small salad from the buffet, a beverage, a main dish and a coffee. Just perfect for a pit stop during sightseeing.

  • 5/5 Walter M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place with great authentic Swedish food. Meatballs were delicious. Friendly service

  • 5/5 Mario I. 2 years ago on Google
    We were looking for authentic Swedish food upon our arrival in Stockholm. The waitress was super friendly and helpful recommending us the dishes - which seemed to be Swedish. She even taught us some Swedish words. My initial worries of a tourist trap changed after I noticed that also locals were having dinner there. I definitely recommend this place for a Swedish dinner if you only stay in Stockholm.

  • 5/5 Petr K. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice place with stylish interior to have a dinner close to city center. Very nice and friendly staff. Meal was quickly brought on our table and was truly delicious. I do recommend to everyone who wants to enjoy Swedish cuisine not to miss this place!

  • 5/5 Caroline L. 7 years ago on Google
    Been here twice for an evening meal in 2015 and 2016. Both times it was delicious. Great atmosphere. Really good service. This year, 2017, went for lunch as we weren't staying in town in the evening. Small set menu but good range of options and price included soft drink, salad bar and tea/coffee. It was exceptional value and the food was fantastic. Highly recommended and will definitely be going back.

  • 4/5 Crystal F. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice restaurant serving traditional Swedish foo🍴😋 ordered Wallenbegare, which is one of the dishes on the Sunday lunch menu. The fish tasted great! Thumbs up for the uicy burger with creamy potatismos 💯 Tho a little score deducted as I think the food was a bit too salty for me, but this is just my personal preference 😗 food, service and environment are great overall! Highly recommend their sunday lunch menu, as you gotta taste some traditional Swedish delicacies at a very good price 😉

  • 5/5 Alessandro C. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice restaurant/pub in the city center close to the sea. Staff is super friendly and the food is good if you want to try some local dishes (I definitely recommend the elk meatballs!) They also have very nice homemade liquor. Worth the visit!

  • 4/5 Valerio X. 8 months ago on Google • 14 reviews
    Recommended by a local friend, location and place are good and sitting outside you can enjoy the sunset. It’s kinda dark inside, but I see most of the restaurant in Stockholm share the same vibe. Tried herrings and meatballs and local bear, price was reasonable and the food were good as well. But the service could be improved.

    (Translated by Google) Crowded, dark and often crowded at lunchtime. The lunch food is exceptionally good. Think luxury home cooking at reasonable lunch prices. Have coffee or eat desserts elsewhere though! I think the service is perfectly okay and I have high demands. Recently, an elderly dark-haired female staff whined when I asked for extra potatoes. (Original) Trångt, mörkt och ofta proppfullt vid lunchtid. Lunchmaten är enastående god. Tänk lyxig husmanskost till vettiga lunchpriser. Fika eller ät efterrätter någon annanstans dock! Jag tycker servicen är helt okej och jag har höga krav. Nyligen var det en äldre mörkhårig kvinnlig personal som blev gnällig när jag bad om extra potatis.
