It's definitely worth a trip to this part of the city to walk around and get a different feel. We each had the shrimp sandwich which came with a really nice side salad and extra crispy toast. The shrimp salad sandwiches in summer and super good, and this was probably the best we had all trip. This place is an institution. The food is really good and the service is also on point. I visited this restaurant on a previous trip and had a really good lunch with complimentary bread and salad bar. We will definitely return here when we visit our friends in Stockholm again.

Got the usual, the herring with mashed potatoes, three sides,and a piece of rye crisp. We had the pickled cucumber, lingonberries and cremefreche salad. Nice serving but I wanted more. IT IS SO GOOD.

We have been coming here for years and I highly recommend.

It's pretty much a one person show from what I could see. The owner attended to me efficiently and without the slightest hesitation. I'm sorry to say that I don't speak Swedish (I wish I did I can tell you) but he was able to communicate with me and for that I will always be grateful. My plate had, if I recall correctly, four breaded and fried herring fillets. It had a coleslaw (which I found a surprising addition, creamy mashed potatoes, pickled cucumbers, red onions, and a little wedge of crispbread. I loved every bite. It was a generous plate. I particularly enjoyed eating a combination of the potatoes, cuke, onion, and fish on a corner of the crispbread as I munched away. There are a few nearby picnic type tables. So there was a place I could sit and enjoy this meal overlooking the water and a corner of the old town. If you find yourself in Stockholm, do yourself a favor and go to here. Even if you think you don't like herring, try it this way. I bet you'd be surprised.

Nice sized portions and very nicely seasoned.

I really wanted to try something that would reflect the culture of the country and if this is it, I could stay here a long time. Such delicious food and while familiar still totally different. FOOD: Had to get the meatballs. I have to tell you, I had meatballs the day before and they were basically IKEA meatballs. These? Pretty amazing. Not heavy but filling. Not like Italian meatballs in case you were wondering. So good! My wife got this dish that looks like bacon pie and it was so awesome! There were many other things I would love to try on the menu, but I had to go with the meatballs and you should, too. SERVICE: Not impressed with the hostess who greeted us with disdain, but the guy at the bar who served us was wonderful. The kitchen made a mistake, and our order was super late. Our bar guy though fixed it right away and then refused a tip. He said the most amazing thing, "I'd have to give it up for offering you such poor service." I would have given him double. COST: Very reasonable for the unique and tasty food. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to try some authentic Swedish food.

It was half full with people of all ages, two rooms with seating, and a bar. On busy nights there is an extra room open downstairs. The food was absolutely fantastic. The group has never been so quiet as when food was on the table. We all are different things and only had good things to say. Unfortunately they only had a handful of wines and beers to choose from, which is a shame for beer lovers. The furniture is classic Swedish "Gustaviansk" design, and incredibly comfortable, the atmosphere relaxed and all the staff were helpful and friendly, and some even dared crack a joke. Will definitely come back to this hidden gem!

I was there before dinner, so ordered just an appetizer. I had the been tartare, and it was terrific. They provides all the ingredients (raw eggs, onions, capers, etc.), and the beer was very fresh. I appreciated they allowed us to carve out one person's order from the rest of us (he did not drink) and then we could split the bill easily with the server's help.

The food here appears to be all organic…read more My wife had a Nordic open-faced sandwich, and after eating those in Copenhagen, Oslo and Sweden, she said this was the best one she had. I had a bowl of the fish stew, which came with a side of cream that was like sour cream. I watched some other gentlemen take a spoonful and put it in their soup and eat it. That fish stew was hearty and delicious. They also serve organic beers here and I had a Stockholm Organic Lager, which tasted like a German Pilsner. It's not a huge place, and when we got there, the tables at ground level were full. They have outside seating, but seeing how this was early January, we didn't want to eat outside, even though it is covered (but still a bit open). They have these "stadium-style" seats with little tables, though, and we climbed up there. They have everything partially made, and when you order, they put it together. There were only two people I could see handling it, but service was great. Some of the best food I ate all trip.

It's a very small place, so a lot of people take their food to go. There are a few tables along the window and then there's stadium seating along one of the smaller walls. It's a cool concept, but it's kind of hard to climb up, especially when you're trying to climb around people. It does provide a good view of the restaurant though. It's fast casual, so you order at the counter and they bring your food to you. The service was pretty fast. The food is incredibly good. We did one of the dishes with meat and the other with vegetarian. We got the sauces they recommended with it. It had so much flavor and tasted very fresh. I would highly recommend coming here while you're in Stockholm. We enjoyed it way more than the places you have to pay the times the price.
