    Nice place with a fantastic lobster soup and plateau and good champagne to drink. Helpful staff and calm atmosphere so you really can sit and enjoy. Have gluten-free bread.

    Loved it! I have to say the best thing about this restaurant is whole experience. There is a lot of seafood bars and restaurants in Stockholm but this one will stay in my memory. Whole restourant interior is dedicated to David Bowie with a lot of photos of the artist and his music in the background. The food vas very good. We ordered menue with starters, seafood plate and dessert. The owner was going around tabels and chatting with customers. I really liked his energy and how much effort and enthusiasm he puts in this restaurant. He recommended us dessert wine to go with cream brule and said if we don't like it we don't have to pay for it, but it was fitting perfectly with our dessert. I will definitely come back!

    Ask yourself this question.. why is this restaurant always so empty? We went on the fourth of April and it was deserted. Should have seen this red flag. Service: the owner was incredibly pushy, after hearing our order for wine, he refused to listen and instead aggressively pushed for a wine 3x the price. Same with the food. Food: They managed to mess up Swedish seafood, almost an impossible task. Price: Easily 2x the cost even without the upsell. This is a restaurant that charged us 40kr PER piece of bread. If the owner wasn’t so pushy and they used slightly better quality seafood it would actually be quite good. Such a simple fix.

    Overall very good food great quality, great owner and nice atmosphere. But I personally really need vinaigrette to my oysters.. They had one but not the one I prefer. I need my oysters with vinaigrette with red onions, Tabasco and lemon to it. But also I have just been eating oysters for a couple of years, so I'm not an expert. That's just what my tastebuds prefer. The lobster soup is magical. And seriously, the desert, the creme bruleé is absolutely NOT the best bruleé in the world, as the owner says it is. No way It's actually not even good. I've been eating so much better bruleés in my life.

    A must for Bowie Fans with a weakness for seafood. The Boss is a cool guy.

    I had high hopes from the Oyster Bar, but was slightly disappointed. They don’t have English menu, so good luck with Google Translate. The portions were too small and not meeting the standards of that price range. Finally, the staff were smiling and friendly, but not really helpful.

    delicious seafood plate with amazing dips. Björn (the owner) provided us with recommendations of wine and order we should follow to get the best out of the food and they worked perfectly. thank you, Björn! when we come and visit Stockholm again, this place is going to be in our list for sure.

    We found this place while were searching for seafood restaurant. It was a great decision - the food was very, very delicious! The owner and his wife were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The owner even helped us to select the right meal, taking into a consideration all our queries. Everything was so tasty, served properly and just in time, very good seafood restaurant!

    We were in this restaurant in May 22. it was really great experience. The food was tasty (golden plate). It was not that people inside and we had a nice chat with the owner. Very friendly guy. If you are a fun of David Bowie and have time - bring this topic up! ;)

    Excellent food and superb service from Björn and his wife. The Skagenröra and the Asian new oysters was just unbelievable good...the best at least me and my wife tasted. Can highly recommend this place and we will surely soon be back.

    "Oyster Bar". No oysters? Wasnt sure whether the barman was joking. After 20 minutes sitting around waiting to be served, swiftly left and went to "Riche" - where there were oysters a-plenty
