The food has definitely improved since the last time I ate here ( 7 years ago ), but the prices of…read morecourse remain extremely high. We had a good BBQ buffet, accompanied by the melancholy sounds of Tommy Nilsson live, and overall a very nice evening. A good selection of single malts behind the bar, and they had bourbon this year ( Jim beam and Jim beam honey) ! Extremely courteous staff, and some nice dockside scenery make this place worth a visit, but your wallet will take a good hit. If you are going to be on Gullholmen for a few days, you should at least come to have a few drinks from the bar.

This is a summer classic with the samples of pickled herring known as "sill" served with fresh…read morepotatoes, dill, onions, sour cream, hard cheese, and butter with hardbread. They refill the little pots as often as you want so you will get full. Each year there is a new flavor and this year with coconut and lemon grass was quite good. This little town produces the most sill in the country and Swedish tourists come to buy and try the sill. The restaurant has a small number of hotel rooms for those wanting a little romantic b&b experience. We have come here 2 years in a row now because our sailboat was harbored just on the other side of the bridge, Mossholmen and a pleasant walk away. Ot kind of reminds me of Tiberon, where boats can pull up at the cay and you can hop off for a lunch and then back on again to put out to the next port. They have a decent selection of local brews as well and you can order fresh fish done in traditional ways. Everything traditional is done well. The forays into non traditional Swedish home cooking are not as successful and I would recommend avoiding. The view is fantastic, the atmosphere is just posh enough but not too stuffy. The wine selection was quite good to accompany seafood dishes.

The restaurant is not great. They're not only lacking passion in preparing food, it would be nice…read moreif the very small portion of vegetables was unfrozen! The cola seems to be always without gas, and the coffee usually is in the machine for too long. Customer toilet might be cleaned more often. Although prices are not that high, I think it's still too much for this level of quality.

We thought it would be fun to visit an IKEA in Sweden, and it was…read more Same one-way layout, we followed the arrows, didn't take any shortcut, just for fun. The restaurant was busy, a peak at the menu and we know why. You can get Shrimp salad, gravlax, grilled fish with salad, pastas, and of course meatballs. We couldn't resist trying some Swedish sweets, mini Princess cake, chokladboll. If the IKEAs in Toronto offered the same stuff, I'd make it a restaurant stop. The bistro area near chech-out was selling the familiar hot dogs, soft serve ice cream, cinnamon buns, and more chokladboll! Enjoyed our visit.

Love this restaurant. Only reason we give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that we're out of mussels…read more We had fish and chips, burgers and a steak and everything was absolutely wonderful.
