For lunch, there is a sign of the options and you order at the counter and get a number and they will bring you the food. After you get your number it's self serve for bread butter and tap water bottle and glasses. I asked the girl what the best selection was and she said the salmon. The salmon came in a bowl with potatoes, veggies (asparagus, snap peas) in a cream sauce with chives on top. It was the right size and the flavors complemented each other. They also had a deli/store inside of the restaurant with lots of fresh ingredients (meats, roe, etc) in addition to high end glasses (riedel), knives (global) and other foods like dry pasta and sauces. I would definitely come again if I'm in the area. Would love to try for dinner. (See pictures).

We waited a little late to get our Friday night dinner booking, so we ended up at Bar CG instead of…read morea fancier sit-down spot. We got a table for 2 in the corner of the backroom, just off the wine cooler. On Friday nights, they serve a buffet (250SEK) on the edge of the open kitchen. With little plates and multiple trips, we tasted the following: white fish stew pork belly goulash pulled reindeer chili with black beans gnocchi with mushrooms and greens beet salad smoked salmon pan-sauteed duck margherita pizza mushroom soup green salad cheese carrot cake Our server explained the buffet when we arrived, and as long as one of the other groups wasn't all up there together, it was easy enough to get through the line. A chef was working the area, keeping it restocked and the food warm. Everything was tasty, especially the mushroom soup and the gnocchi. The reindeer chili wasn't spicy hot, but did have plenty of spice. The gnocchi was quite popular with the locals. We appeared to be the only Americans in the place, but the waitstaff all had excellent English and were patient with us.

After being on call for 24 hours at the emergency room followed by a couple of hours sleep and a…read moreworkout at the gym, I more than qualified as being both a bit worn out and in need of good food in a relaxing environment. Normally I'd go home, but I was invited to a friends party in the evening and had about an hour and a half to kill, and the obvious choice was food. Having previously been to Restaurant CG, and being quite impressed with their food and the whole dining experience in general, their recently opened, and practically next door to their restaurant is the new and smaller, Bar CG. This place focuses on cocktails as well as smaller dishes and even though you can book a table, they always have about 20 seats that are on a drop-in basis only. Walking in, leaving the howling snowstorm behind me, the place feels immediately welcoming. Dark interior design but still contemporary modern with small finishes of the 1950's like the leather chairs brings it all nicely together. It feels more of an upscale modern pub than an actual restaurant. I had a seat at the bar and one of the waitresses greeted me welcome and tended to me immediately. As I was driving this evening any form of alcohol was off-limits, so I had the cocktail Just Another Virgin that consisted of Jus de Apricot, cinnamon, orange, lemon, sugar and non-alcoholic sparkling wine. Truthfully? I've tasted my share of non-alcoholic cocktails that have tasted so bad that I could barely swallow a mouthful. But this? Oh man, this was so good that it made my toes curl! For food I ordered a two-course meal with the first dish being filet of lamb served with creamy polenta, tomato chips, tomato con fit and tomato jus. It was delish. The fatty side on the lamb nicely rendered and crispy, meat moist and pearly pink. Polenta have the potential of being a swing and a miss, but they nailed it. Continuing my non-alcoholic extravaganza I asked for a suggestion for a suitable drink to the lamb. They recommended a lingonberry juice since there were a lot of tomatoes in the dish to complement the acidity. Said and done, I had that, and it was an absolute perfect pairing! For dessert I went for somewhat of a classic, a tarte tatin. Creamy apple, flaky puff pastry and rich vanilla ice-cream was an excellent finish together with a creamy cup of cappuccino. For once it was nice just sitting down at a bar by myself, eating a smaller meal and enjoying some drinks and the occasional chat with the staff. Bar CG may be a smaller sibling to its big brother restaurant, but it does an excellent job providing good food with great flavors and excellent drink to round out the company. Next time I'm coming here I'm checking out that drink-list in more detail cause it looks really impressive. I wouldn't mind spending an entire evening here again with friends, cocktails and also some food. Great place worthy of a visit (or two)!

This place perplexes me to be honest. While the dining room breathes and speaks "modern…read morescandinavian dining" with restrained furnitures and contemporary elements of modern art such as a reindeer pelt, a small orange background wall, sporadic placed bright colored lounging chairs among the mostly white brick plaster walls. Though the dining experience in itself is far below par, it borderlines on bad. Our youngest son was at dance practice for a theater show he is part of so the rest of family - meaning me, my wife and the remaining two children - went here for dinner as it's closest to where they were practicing and we were hungry to say the least. The greeting serving staff (actually, there was only one waitress there that managed everything) was neither enthusiastic or inspiring, she felt more bored and like she didn't even want to be there in the first place. But looks may be decieving, and hungry kids tend to be very persuasive, so we sat down and started going over the menu. And once again this place perplexes me. The menu is stylish in white and grey and many of the dishes sound both amazing and creative. Taking into account that we had the kids with us, it's almost standard to get some plates of garlic bread on the table and this was no exception. When the two plates arrived they had the bread, green baby leaves, sundried tomatoes, olives and ai....no wait, no aioli. On either plate. But there's supposed to be aioli. My wife called upon the waitress and kindly pointed out that there was no aioli and she came out with two small bowls quite quick. For main course my wife had the hot stone beef tenderloin that you cook yourself at the table. It may be a thing of the 90's, but the meat was really tender and delicious so she was happy. I ordered a butcher's cut with basil butter, tomato sallad and red wine jus together with sweet potato fries. The meat was cooked to a nice medium rare like I ordered it, but to call five cherry tomatoes in a small bowl of oil for a salad is over the top even for me. The basil butter was an ok addition, but a different kind of dip would have been a better choice when it's served with sweet potato fries. The fries however were delicious (honestly, when are sweet potato fries ever anything but delicious?)! The red wine sauce was overly sweet, and I can't stand sweet red wine sauce, it makes my skin crawl. So what perplexes me is the percieved level of ambition they are implying with the style, decor and menu that they ultimately fall far short of. There's no connection between what I see and what I taste, and it leaves me torn. Either own up to a lower standard and go pub-style, because truly that is the category the food they currently serve belongs in, or up your game to fine dining standard. At the moment, this place is neither of it, and with this current concept I have no desire to come back at all.
