Loved the vodka lingonberry herring, ham, salmon, creamed fish and dessert bites. I didn't care the ribs but with 70 to chose from it didn't matter. I think it was exceptionally good due to the genuin friendly service.

Do yourself a favour if you find yourself in Vasteras , go here at least once , best to go twice thinking about it. The place itself is very nice - the bar \ restaurant is smallish - maybe 30 covers plus bar area. usual swedish type bar - few drafts to choose from mix of swedish and continental beers - few good bottles of beer and an array of wine and spirts. The bar itself is good, well appointed and has a stone top which i like. If you go towards the far end away from the main door you can see into the open theatre style kitchen and watch the chefs at work. So onto the food - well I have eaten here on my last three visits to Vasteras and have to say the first two times were exceptional but last weeks visit, probably the best steak I ever had. And I say that as somebody who has eaten steaks in NYC which is reputed to have some of the best steak houses in the world. The T Bone steak here was a 1.2kg slab of meat ( for two of us ) and took 40 mins to cook. It was tender, cooked medium and was more than enough for two people. The steak was presented on a wooden plinth garnished with vine tomatoes and garlic bulbs. The chefs had cut the meat down into fillets going up the length of the T so it was just a case of digging in. Steak knife was provided but the meat was so tender you could cut it using the side of a fork !! At the end of the meal we had to ask the chef how he got such a big piece of meat so well cooked but also why it takes 40 mins for a steak. he explained that they flash each side of the meat in a hot pan then transfer to a special oven , then repeat the process a number of times until the meat is just right. He got it right !! If you are in town try this place - you better book though ! PS - £140.00 for the steak full bill £400.00 with tip ( 3 people ) even at that we agreed worth every penny !

Och inte att förglömma; OLW veganska ostbågar. Undvik att handla runt lunchtid vardagar, då är butiken översållad med stökiga ungdomar från närbelägna skolor. Hade vegan-utbudet varit bättre hde det blivit en fyra. Som läget är nu finns det inget som höjer butiken över medelvärdet egentligen.
