    A traditional Swedish restaurant that offers good quality and service. The interior is simple and functional. The tables are placed close together and one gets a feeling of sitting very close to the next table. At the same time the atmosphere and the level of service gives a pleasant feeling of luxury and comfort. My Beef Cheek tasted very good 👍

    Great service, great food, great vibe. Our server was so busy but remained attentive and friendly the entire time. The duck arancini and langoustines were a great way to start the meal. Delicious entrees included the confit pork and the pepper crusted pork loin.

    Really good food. Have tasted beef tartar and fish stew so many times before in all levels of different restaurants, but they were on another level of quality - genuine taste from each ingredients and rich flavors mixed well together. Those must be made from the scratch. Tasted others' dish and they were so good and all on our tables were satisfied. Nice staffs and lively atmosphere is additional pleasure. I

    Loved the fish stew for lunch! The food looks way fancier than this simple place, so don’t walk past but inside! Also enjoyed the small buns & salted butter that came with the meal.

    We were lucky enough to get seated at the counter, with a nice view of the kitchen/plating area. We shared the duck for mains. Heavily influenced by the Peking duck in 3 courses. It was perfect. Honouring its roots while making it their own, a grand course. Having the chefs explaining the dishes over the counter also felt really special. The one chef that kinda looks like Robert Pattinson was particularly passionate about the dishes he was presenting, which made the whole experience even more special. The madeleines fresh off the oven were also a treat. Will definitely come back and bring people.

    This is a classy classic restaurant with super friendly service. This night felt a bit Basque. The timeless interior design is worth a visit, if you're into that.

    The food was fantastic and the service was excellent! Couldn't recommend this place more! Just make sure to reserve a table before coming here though.

    Food quality is excellent! The price is at average of a normal proper dinner. Recommend to make reservation. Service is good. Waitresses are nice and patience. The restaurant is quite small. The corridor and space between tables are quite narrow. Beware of waitresses passing by and holding plates or glass. It is not difficult to make your cloth dirty accidentally. Such experience is the only reason giving 4 stars instead of 5. However, it is still highly recommend.

    Fun restaurant with good food. The ox with truffle and potato purée was a unique experience for me, as well as the potato pancake. Both I thought tasted great. Check it out if you’re in Stockholm.

    The service staff were busy but moved quickly. Lunch came with soup and bread; I'm not sure if coffee was included because I ordered a latte. The lunch options included vegetarian, lamb, and beef, but I ordered fish. It was a sizable portion of fish, which was quite fresh. Overall, the meal was light and satisfactory.

    This is a great place with excellent service and delicious food. It's a bit crowded, so be prepared that this isn't a cozy, quiet place. If you are okay with that, everything else should be to your satisfaction.

    We initially had a bad first impression because the staff seemed rather stern and unenthusiastic, but the food was of great value for money. For the quality of the food I definitely would've been willing to pay more. In particular I would recommend the breaded halibut and pork confit. The variety of potatoes that came with each main course also deserve a special mention. Seen lots of great reviews about the red wine braised ox cheeks but we personally found the red wine too intense.

    Great restaurant in Stockholm. Had the pepper crusted Iberian pork which was great. It's a bit pricey but the food was worth it.

  • 5/5 Magnus S. 4 months ago on Google • 59 reviews
    Cozy place with excellent cooking overall. Staff was friendly and the service fast. Hearty portions of comforting dishes to enjoy this cold November night. Great wine recommendations. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Balu V. 9 months ago on Google • 36 reviews
    I walked in not knowing that it’s a bit pricey place, I was definitely under dressed compared to other patrons. The staff was super nice and made me feel at home. I had a big meal, wine, and dessert. Everything was FANTASTIC. Great introduction to Swedish cuisine, highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Jack M. 4 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    Enjoyed an absolutely delicious Rödvinsbräserade oxkinder med tryffel & potatispuré with a soup for starter and freshly baked bread buns. Considering the taste, quality and quantity of food I consider their lunch a terrific value for money. I went after the regular lunch rush (which I would recommend) so the place was very peaceful and relaxing. Plus + Quality and taste of food + Atmosphere

    The waitress was super friendly and helpful, always checking on us. The food was delicious! We had escargot, grilled oyster, fish stew and pork confit. The bread was delicious as well! All cooked perfectly and tasted perfect. Pricing was just right! Thank you for the great dinner!

  • 5/5 Freek van den E. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a really nice dinner experience here with my wife. Typical Swedish/ French style food, high quality and nice flavours. Their home made tabasco with the oysters was just fantastic. Very friendly and fast service, really nice atmosphere in the restaurant too! Recommended!

  • 5/5 Ryan F. 5 months ago on Google
    Delicious food and very friendly staff. I recommend the Salmon Lax starter, so fresh and delicious. Also, don't fill up on the bread. It is good, but I didn't save room for desert and it looked great!

  • 5/5 Eken 2 years ago on Google
    Went here for lunch and it was really good. Service is excellent, food very nice and the atmosphere is the best. I had a place at the bar and really enjoyed. The only drawback is the price that is to high for a lunch... >17 Euro...

  • 5/5 Michaele H. 7 months ago on Google
    Wir hatten Glück mit unserer spontanen Reservierung..... Restaurant war bis auf den letzten Platz besucht....professionelle Mitarbeiter, klar und punktgenau aufgestellt. Jeder weiß was er zu tuen hat. Findet man hierzulande ( leider ) nicht mehr so wirklich. Das Essen war himmlisch.... das Kartoffelpüree mit Trüffel.... göttlich.....

  • 4/5 Scott M. 9 months ago on Google
    Excellent local foods, well prepared and presented. Courteous staff. Nice casual atmosphere. Not cheap, but worth it.

  • 5/5 Simon S. 10 months ago on Google
    This is the nicest meal we've eaten in a very long time. The chefs are fantastic, you can see them working away from the bar. The staff are very friendly and helpful and you can see enjoy what they do, which always makes a difference! We had a pork confit and onion soup and both were so rich and tasty, paired with a good selection of wines. This place is 100% a must visit if you ever go to Stockholm, we can't wait to go back.

  • 4/5 Richard F. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice place with good Swedish food. Very cozy inside and also an outdoor deck. Opposite a good pub so can spend a long time between the two. I had the seafood stew which was quite tasty. A bit expensive but that's Stockholm...

  • 5/5 Alex E. 2 years ago on Google
    Found it randomly... Great service, very tasty food and great wine list (natural, conventional)!! Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Kátia Glaísa C. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice restaurant in Norrmalm with a vibrant atmosphere and flavorful dishes. From seafood to meat, there is an option for you. The prices are standard for the service, location and menu. Nice and attentive staff. The place is very popular so always crowded and hard to book a table. I went on a Friday evening and noticed that there were people from AW, usually more adults and less young people.

  • 4/5 Gábor K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice, casual bistro, cosy ambiance. Complimentary soup of the day, a lovely treat. Food is very nice yet nothing extraordinary, however it might be what it is meant to be. Would recommend.

  • 5/5 Davide M. 1 year ago on Google
    Found this Swedish cuisine restaurant through the recommendation of the Michelin Guide and can't stress enough how wonderful of a dining experience I had here. Each course starts with the "soup of the day" (in my case, onion) but the absolute best was the ox cheeks braised in red wine sauce (see photo). One of the best dishes I've ever eaten, the meat was extremely tender and melting in the mouth, perfectly cooked and enough to be filling without bordering on too much. It's a bit pricey because of the high quality and service, but worth every krona if you decide to go. ABSOLUTELY recommended.

  • 5/5 Babs B. 1 year ago on Google
    So I’d definitely would come back :) The dishes are super interesting and the one vegetarian option I went for was just great! The service is nice and timely, also they’re happy to be creative when it comes to drinks. We saw how carefully the kitchen was cleaned, which is always a good sign. The wine menu was huge, there’s definitely something for everyone. All in all not too cheap but it was worth it and I’d love to try some more dishes here.

  • 5/5 Andi O. 1 year ago on Google
    An amazing place with a wonderful menu, drinks and service and without doubt my standout meal whilst in Stockholm. A great menu which includes a great selection of starts including fresh and fried oysters and the main courses included bread sea bass, steak, braised ox cheek and mini tasting menu with wines to match. The acoustics are great, you can hear the burble of the crowd and don’t have to raise your voice to be heated, service was brilliant and the price was surprisingly affordable for what was a great meal £220 for 3 mains, 3 deserts, bottle of wine and other soft drinks (including tip). I would encourage you to visit!

  • 5/5 Emmett W. 1 year ago on Google
    Mind blowing modern takes on Scandinavian classics. Tough to pick on the menu because everything is so good. Nice wine list to compliment. Very accessible Stockholm location

  • 4/5 Jesper S. 2 years ago on Google
    Superb food and service, lively and inviting atmosphere. Beware if you're sensitive to loud noises as the premises get very echoey and loud.

  • 5/5 Nadia R. 2 years ago on Google
    Crazy delicious 🤤 A fast and cordial service. Highly recommend! Try the red wine braised checks of ox with truffle potato purée and for a dessert, take the cookies with the caramel cream.

  • 5/5 Célinettefrance 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent restaurant! For the starter we had raw lobster, and the main we had pork confit with cauliflower smashed potatoe, and the beef stewed served with truffled smashed potatoe! Delicious!

  • 4/5 Kristina W. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was AMAZING. The bread rolls were heavenly — warm, tasty crust, delicious butter, and gorgeous flaky sat. I ascended to heaven when I had the feta salad and the languostine toast. The seared tuna with bok choy was lovely, the sauce was quite mysterious but it complimented the tuna very well. However, I ordered the pastry puff with vegetables. It was incredibly plain. I couldn’t take more than two bites. It was disappointing and the waitress did not come back after delivering the dishes until I asked for our checks.

  • 5/5 Christy L. 1 year ago on Google
    Traditional Swedish cuisine 🔘Red wine braised cheeks of ox with truffle & potato purée 🔘oyster Ox cheek is very tender, meaty and with the sauce is delicious!! The truffle potato purée is creamy and buttery, so tasty! The oyster is very fresh for starter. But the bun are too tough, not my type. Service is friendly, lovely dinner!

  • 3/5 Yue S. 2 years ago on Google
    I’m disappointed, especially for the steak. I asked for medium, but the steak was almost well-done. The surface was burnt and bitter, the meat was dry and hard to bite. This is my fifth time here, every time I went here before I gave 5 stars because the food was fabulous. This time I don’t know what happened, but I might not visit again.

  • 5/5 Paul S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing restaurant Awesome and helpful staff Great service Better food Surprisingly good prices for what probably is a Michelin Star restaurant...and even in Stockholm city Center. Will likely come back every night to try all dishes on their menu when I'm back in Sweden.

  • 5/5 w s. 2 years ago on Google
    A delight of a restaurant. Super friendly service and a very vibrant atmosphere. The food was as well, very nicely made. Will be back!
