    Gondolen reopening with a new crew and a modernised design but still with the fantastic view. Classic french cooking but with an extra nod to the nordic ingredients and traditions.

    We booked with expectations being medium to high after a few friends had highly recommended booking a table. Start from the start the service was excellent. Well engaged staff all night! The 1st dishes were fantastic. The pilgrim mussel and oyster. Unfortunately that was were the good food experience stopped. The lobster was pretty flat in taste. Was disappointing when the start of the dish doesn’t turn up. The Karl-Johan mushroom ravioli was in a tasty broth and the filling was ok, however the pasta was slightly too thick and tasted flour like which was a huge disappointment. The main course was simply a huge let down. The braised ox cheek just didn’t make the grade. The texture was good, but it lacked flavour and the sauce was also lacking in flavour. The mash potato was beyond basic. The dish was edible but wasn’t anything special in comparison to the same dish at another restaurant. The truffle risotto was among one of the most blandest dishes experienced at a restaurant. The dish first of all looked like it had more in common with a soup and to top it off there wasn’t any truffle flavour at all. The staff asked how our main dish was and feedback was give lan and the waitress was very surprised which is always the case when they simply expect an, oh yes, very good thank you. She did come back after a few minutes and said that the kitchen had been notified as well as the maitre d’. We were offered complimentary coffee or tea to which we declined. The wine was good, so that eased the suffering of the food! The view from the restaurant is great from previous visits. Unfortunately Mother Nature had different plans and the view was blocked by fog, no one’s fault and it gave a different perspective of sitting in a cloud which was nice. The atmosphere was lively with noise. It’s one of these things that of course is difficult. Different guests bring different sounds levels with them. Not fully sure how you would combat this other then perhaps giving diners more space. Having more space would maybe give it a little bit more of a personal touch and paying extra would be likely to be understood. All in all this dinning experience just did not live up to the expectations which was very disappointing.

    Fantastic restaurant in Slussen with stunning view of Gamla Stan and the whole northern part of Stockholm. The food was fantastic and so also the staff. Try the duck plate, very recommended.

    (Translated by Google) It is a beautiful view. But the food was nothing special about the price. (Original) Det är en vacker utsikt. Men maten var inte något särskilt i förhållande till priset.

    Basically it's a restaurant, with a nice "arm" suspended in the air. I went over there just for a drink, so I can't tell how the food was, the place was pretty full though and that's a good sign indeed! The cocktails were good, nothing very particular or original, but well prepared and served, accordingly to the American bartending. The view is of course the best part of this bar, even if when I went there, there were bad weather and work in progress down in the streets.

    Fine dining with fine views of Stockholm.

  • 5/5 Pär S. 5 years ago on Google • 249 reviews
    One of Stockholms true classic restaurant with the best view in town. The food and service is just amazing, leaning towards the swedish classics! Combine it with one of the best cocktail bars and it's an outstanding experience! I try to go here for at least one lunch per week and one dinner per month. That keeps me happy but at the same time I could visit much more often. The photo of my lunch is from the "todays lunch" menu. Classics swedish steak with Hasselbackspotatis, cream sauce and the perfect condiments. Just like my grandma used to do it! Sat at the bar this time and asked the bartender if he had any good photos of the place. I hope you like what he shared with me! Anders please feel free to use them as you like (I got his approval) Go for a visit, you will be more than happy!

    Stunning views of Stockholm, great service for either a meal or drinks and watching over the city. A sure visit for me every year before and after Stockholm marathon. Have really missed Gondolen while closed the last couple of years, so was excited to see it reopened (just while going for a run nearby) on my last visit. Even more excited to see that the formula I remember is so intact. Excellent food, fun and really competent staff and although a new layout, consistent in style with before and the place looks fantastic inside again. I went there half a dozen times on this last trip to Stockholm, including a Christmas lunch and New Year's Eve wine-paired dinner. Fantastic. Hope the beef fiorelli is still on the menu next time I'm there!

    The restaurant is classed as fine dining considering the prices. The food and the service are acceptable. The restaurant is top tourist attraction because of the view and therefore is overcrowded. The tables are packed tightly together and it was noisy. A reservation could be made also online. Visiting the restaurant for dinner was a nice experience however I would not consider it a must see attraction for your visit to Stockholm.

  • 4/5 Alison S. 5 months ago on Google • 154 reviews
    Beautiful food although small portions but this is the style. Tables too close together which was off-putting. Had to be asked to move to a table with more distance from other diners. Waiting staff very professional although a little unfriendly. A good jazz band which added atmosphere. Must be noted that taxis cannot come to the door due to roadworks etc and a walk is required. This should be highlighted on the website for non Swedes as it is very inconvenient.

  • 4/5 Ladan M. 5 months ago on Google • 145 reviews
    nice staff, lovely view, lovely live music, and nice food. I had pâte de campagne with pistachios, dijon mustard and cornichons for starter, which was nicely designed and tasted good. For main course I picked braised ox cheek in crepinette, duxelles, carrot and potato purée, which was tasty.

  • 2/5 Very S. 4 months ago on Google • 90 reviews
    I thought the food was very bad, and I don’t expect the M’aitre d to beckon my party to their table with a crooked finger from 5 meters away. The beef tartare looked like a defrosted budget burger. The younger staff were pleasent. For any place it was a poor food but for prestigious location, was unacceptable . Good jazz band though

    You can feel the quality entering from the elevator and the service is great. Good atmosphere sitting down with the view on both side, good selection of wine and other beverages. Some of the starter dishes is really amazing and despite their price is totally worth it, while the main course could use some more finesse to them to live up to the price. Will go here again.

  • 3/5 Christian H. 3 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Booked a table month in advance hoping this would lead to a good table, however this was not the case we got the worst table. Asked the head waiter for a change which was not possible. So bottom line do not use the on line booking option. The Service was not working perfect as no particular waiter was assigned, and some of our asks had to be repeated.

  • 4/5 S K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Was pleasantly surprised by the size of the portions! I was expecting that kind of thing where little mini dishes where food is more a work of art than food, but it wasn't. We got really tired! 👍 The Skagen Toast and the ice cream with a cloudberry tasted absolutely wonderful !! It's just a shame that the oat flare was under the ice so it became soft. The seafood stew had a nice flavor and it was a generous portion. But unfortunately the fish was dry. Aiolin was absolutely amazing! Minus because it was very crowded! Hard for the waitresses! Some DJ played at high volume not far from our table so we had to sit and scream at each other towards the end of the evening. Nevertheless, it was a good experience anyway. (Original) Blev positivt överraskad av storleken på portionerna! Hade förväntat mig såna där små mini-rätter där maten är mer ett konstverk än mat, men så var det inte. Vi blev riktigt mätta! 👍 Skagentoasten och glassen med hjortron smakade helt underbart!! Synd bara att havreflarnet låg under glassen så att det blev mjukt. Skaldjursgrytan hade en fin smak och det var en generös portion. Men tyvärr var fisken torr. Aiolin var helt fantastiskt! Minus för att det var väldigt trångt! Jobbigt för servitriserna! Någon DJ spelade med hög volym inte långt ifrån vårat bord så vi fick sitta och skrika åt varandra mot slutet av kvällen. Över lag var det ändå en bra upplevelse trots detta.

  • 5/5 Nancy R. 4 years ago on Google
    Great view of the city. Lovely decor and buzzy but not loud atmosphere. I had the fish and shellfish casserole with aioli and baked croutons, my friend has the steak tartare, and my other friend had the grilled cod loin in white wine sauce - all of our plates were polished off. To top it off, Gondolen’s semla dessert cake with cardamom ice cream over a delicious almond cream. It was the best semla I’ve ever had! Highly recommend even if just for a drink to soak in the views.

  • 3/5 P-A E. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Be in the banquet hall, not to be confused with the dining room. Good food, perfectly ok toast skagen, lamb was tender and with good accessories. Unfortunately there was a lot of talk / laughter in the kitchen / kitchenette which was disturbing. (Original) Var i festvåningen, inte att förväxla med matsalen. God mat, helt ok toast skagen, lammbogen var mör och med goda tillbehör. Tyvärr var det mycket prat/skratt i köket/pentryt vilket var störande.

    (Translated by Google) The entree and main course were good. Dining a bit slow, but very nice staff. However, the dessert was boring and the cake dry (Original) Förrätten och huvudrätten var goda. Serveringen lite långsam, men väldigt trevlig personal. Efterrätten var dock tråkig och kakan torr

  • 5/5 Alex R. 6 years ago on Google
    Great place on top to see the city. It was a old lift that used to take people up from slussen to the top of the hill. I don't know anything about the restaurant but on top is a viewing platform that's open to the public and a great place to see the city from. If you want a great photo of Stockholm go here. Also at night the sunsets from up here are absolutely gorgeous.

    Enjoy sensational views over Stockholm while you partake the kitchen’s excellent take on traditional Swedish cuisine. Or just stop by the bar on your way from touristing Old Town to an evening on Södermalm.

  • 3/5 Nils B. 4 years ago on Google
    A Stockholm classic mainly there for tourists and the view. Service in the “Gondola” part of the restaurant was slow and not very enthusiastic. Food is good but a bit overpriced. Good house wine for 100kr glass is the only good value.

  • 4/5 Anahita Z. 4 years ago on Google
    Great service, friendly staff! I went there twice. For my first time, I ordered cod fish, which the top part was bitter and I really couldn’t enjoy the meat, but soup and dessert were delicious! Second time, I went for an Entrecôte, soft and delicious, and worth the price! Crème Brûlée is highly recommended, I couldn’t find such Crème Brûlée in France!

  • 5/5 Omar S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great restaurants with unique location and views of Stockholm harbor. A reservation is a must to dine here and the restaurants offers spectacular views of the city. It’s not the easiest place to get to by Uber from downtown and taking the subway is probably the best bet.

  • 5/5 Johannes S. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely restaurant in Slussen. It is situated partly on the underside of a bridge giving it a fantastic view of almost the whole northern part of Stockholm. The food was fantastic and so also the staff. I can recommend the duck. Will come here again. Two thumbs up! 👍🏻👍🏻

  • 5/5 Dat N. 4 years ago on Google
    Wonderful. Nice view. Super delicious food. Very nice desert...

  • 5/5 Ola E. 3 years ago on Google
    Really good cocktails and a stunning view. I recommend going here either as a start on an evening or and end. Perfect place to enjoy the view and have a drink. It can be quite noisy, so if you prefer quiet times, come early. Last time I went I had a classic cocktail and a more experimental. Both very good. A bit on the expensive side, although well worth it because of the quality and the view. Will come back, over and over.

  • 4/5 Pritin T. 5 years ago on Google
    Great view if you get seating on the part of the restaurant that stretches out across the road on the 11th floor. Exceptional service by staff. Don't forget to also check out the rooftop bar while you're there.

    Really nice spot in Stockholm either just to take a photo or have a drink or even have dinner

  • 5/5 Xu K. 5 years ago on Google
    Best city view in Stockholm, and the wine is perfect too. But my favorite is the duck liver, with the white wine, can give you the best experience.

  • 5/5 E K. 3 years ago on Google
    Normally, the restaurants with such great location don't make en effort to have good food and decent service. This is not the case in Gondolen. The food is delicious and the service is the best I've seen in Stockholm. Well-deserved 5 stars!

    I had pleasure to enjoy in restaurant with gorgeus food and view with cosy and warmth feeling on this "boat". The staff are professional, with excellent English. One of the favourite à la carte restaurants in Stockholm- for your "better half", business partners or tourists- everyone who likes to "taste" the Stockholm on one different way.
