We sat at the bar (didn't have a chance to get reservations), and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! It's a lovely ambiance and our seats provided a view of the plates coming out and the bartender (2nd day!) was exceptional - made us laugh and enjoyed ourselves. The seasonal mixed drinks were fantastic - a taste of Sweden! The Skogs hallon (Forest Raspberry) was 'the taste of Christmas!' Dinner was in a word, impeccable! I had the gnocchi, which was a perfect combination of flavors! When in Stockholm, this is a place to get reservations! read more

My family lives in Sweden, so I visit here often. I have eaten at "Knut Restaurang & Bar" a number of times, mostly because Stockholm is obsessed with mediocre Mexican food, and Scando-knock-off versions of Italian Pizza (both of which I get better in the states). But "Knut Restaurang & Bar" is different. It embraces traditional Swedish cuisine, and actually creates something New out of it. And this is exactly what I look for when I eat overseas: a a new angle on the country's traditional cuisine. "Knut Restaurang & Bar" offers the cuisine of Northern Sweden, focusing on Reindeer, Moose, and northern Snow-Birds. It's quite enlightening, and delicious too. Christmas at "Knut Restaurang & Bar" is a Holiday Spectacle. The Christmas season is HUGE in Sweden, with "Jul Afton" (Christmas Eve) being the most important day of the year. And on this day "Knut Restaurang" does not disappoint. Decorations are hung, holiday music is played, and the menu is altered to honor the traditional dishes of this special night. The service here is good. read more

Great ambiance, wonderful service, incredible food, and the nicest chef around. We had only one night in Stockholm when we weren't eating with family and had to choose a restaurant. I was actually taken with the a la carte menu at the restaurant in the Museum of Swedish Drinking Culture, but they were serving only their full Christmas menu. So I wrote to the manager and asked him to recommend comparable menus in the area--Knut was one of their staff favorites. We're so lucky he pointed us here. We were looking for interesting takes on traditional Swedish food, and we sure found what we were looking for--with atmosphere and personality. We had drinks, breads, appetizers, mains, flatbread, desserts, and wine--as well as the perfect pairing of snaps offered by the waiter--and we were thrilled with everything. Layers of complex flavor, all cooked with precision and style. My only regret was that I didn't have room to also try the flatbread tacos--and actually everything else on the menu. This was my first taste of cured pike perch, and there was just enough salt and flavor so as not to completely overpower but instead complement the delicate fish. The flatbread blew me away with its texture--so thin, light, and easy to bite through while layered enough to hold a decent amount of cheese, trout, horseradish, lemon cream, pickled onions, and potato chips! Yup, you read that right--fish pizza! It was sublime. The deer was perfectly cooked, with extra flavor on the outside and in the sauce, and the interior tender and mild. The wine was a perfect pairing. The variety of breads were all well done and there were enough to suit any palate. The cocktails were strong and well executed, although more than one on the menu looked to be on the sweet side, so make sure you ask if that's not your thing. That's the only area where I'd say maybe Knut could be more innovative with local ingredients? But that's a lot of effort and would require the right bartender--and is hardly necessary with such a top-notch experience in every other way. We gushed so hard that our stellar waiter sent the chef our way, and he couldn't have been friendlier. He seemed to have all the time in the world to talk to us, and unlike some in the culinary world, he was eager to share his processes and ingredients. I was honored to be in the presence of someone who is clearly on top of the food world we both inhabit in different ways and who was simultaneously so personable and open. I once moved across the U.S. for salsas--It wouldn't be outrageous if I move to Stockholm for Knut. read more

When in Sweden you could go and try the meatballs. But there is more to Scandinavian fare than that. We got to experience that at Knut, which we went to on our last night in Stockholm. We managed to walk up without a reservation and get a table downstairs in their basement level, which lent for a nice cozy, private atmosphere. We had a plate of Northern delicacies including smoked deer bear and moose sausage. I kept the wild game going with the minced moose main. Everything was well done, very tasty, and wasn't gamey as I have experienced with other dishes featuring venison or deer. A great laid-back place to enjoy local cuisine. read more

A friendly bar/ restaurant. All the tables were reserved, but they let me eat at the bar counter. All staff members were very pleasant and helpful. Both starter and main were very nice. Starter: cured salmon with pickled cucumber, miso mayo etc Main: roasted golden beets with horseradish yogurt sauce, deep fried halloumi, and roasted pine nuts + honey Bread board was a bit odd - crunchy dried flat bread and black, sweetened bread with dried currents inside. A bit like what we call Christmas cake in England. Even the whipped butter tasted sweet. The apple cake was decent too. Not great but good. read more

Arrive late afternoon and Knut said that between lunch and dinner the kitchen only produces one meal a sausage dish with greens, mashed potatoes and beets. She said it was a traditional swedish meal....just what I was looking for, I said bring it on! I wasn't disappointed, it's not like the sausages we have in the US, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and would order it again. Great place and reasonably priced. read more

Knut Restaurang & Bar AB - Sausage with greens, beets and mashed potatoes. - Scandinavian Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

I'm not Swedish, so I can't comment on authenticity. But, it's very fresh and tasty food, with a good assortment of things that seem traditionally Swedish, and a little bit off the beaten tourist path. Admittedly rather expensive for small-ish portions, but that might just be a fact of life in Stockholm. The food didn't expand my mind, but I can't really fault it otherwise. We started by sharing the terrine and the plate from the north. The latter is not made in house, of course, but had a nice selection of unusual meats; the smoked reindeer was sublime. For a main course, I had a moose steak: the flavor was more subtle than I expected (not gamey or the like), but it was cooked very nicely, and served on a very fresh seasonal salad. read more

My husband and I had an incredible dinner at Knut Restaurant. They specialize in Northern Sweden cuisine, which apparently involves a lot of cloven hoof delicacies. First, they brought out some amazing dark rye with dried berries and crisp bread served with butter and messmov, which is a delicious spread made with the whey from making cheese cooked with sugar and salt. Then, we had a charcuterie plate with cold smoked reindeer, deer heart, smoked wild boar and moose sausage with an aged cheese and a berry chutney. We also had Swedish dumplings with seared smoked pork cubes and pickled lingonberries. For dinner, we shared a flatbread with smoked pork, cubed potato, sour cream, pickles, dill and chips. Best meal we've had in Stockholm. read more

Food was really good and I was glowing about the restaurant. We were getting ready to order dessert when we were told we had. 5 minutes to finish because they needed the table. We did not order dessert read more

The food was very good with a selection of fun takes on traditional dishes. Lingonberry wine was surprisingly good. The service was good and our waitperson had a fun sense of humor. read more

Awesome place for lunch for traditional Swedish food. Lunch will cost about 125 Krons which is fairly reasonable here. They do have an English menu which is a real positive since most of the staff's English is limited. Also you can pay with a credit card or cash. I had the venison with a mushroom and lingonberries served with mashed potatoes. It was so tasty and was like comfort food on a cool day. The only negative was the portions were very traditional so don't expect a huge plate of food. read more

Knut Restaurang & Bar AB - Venison with mushroom sauce and lingonberries. So good! - Scandinavian Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

A small, cozy place with amazing food if you have an open mind. I went here with a work group while visiting our Stockholm office, and while the menu looked a little interesting, I wanted to experience some of the tastes I have never had before. I only wish I had taken pictures to show you how amazing the presentation looked as the food was delivered. The menu is seasonal and rotating, so the items I tried may not be the same, but if you are from the US like me, I would recommend "The Plate from the North" as a way to try some items you may have never experienced before. Ours had moose, boar, cheese, and reindeer heart on it. Yes, heart, I was reluctant at first but I'm glad I tried it, it was amazing. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and shaved thin, almost like prosciutto. The whole plate was good, but I was amazed at how good the heart tasted. Other dishes we had included a delicious Halibut, buttery flakey and tender. Minced moose and their seasonal Sorbet. All told, there wasn't a bad thing we tried. I highly recommend trying this place, you won't be disappointed. read more

Tasty modern food inspired by northern Sweden - friendly staff and prices! I must admit I am biased by coming from the middle part of Sweden (however considered as far north by most of the population) - anyway, if you're into trying out some real traditional Scandinavian foods with a modern touch, you're at the right spot. They usually have daily meals to pick from but I would recommend to try out reindeer, moose or maybe a fish from the clear lakes of northern Sweden? I had the Boar risotto with spices, a tasty meal but for the marathon runner it would need to be complemented with a starter to fill you up a little bit more. The environment is very cosy, the staff is adherent to their guests' needs and the prices are good for being located in central Stockholm. It's a hidden gem for any tourists wanting to taste a bit of Northern Sweden. Also, got a cloud berry candy while paying the bill, yum ;-) read more

Pretty cute restaurant in Stockholm! The first contact with our waitress has been a bit difficult. Nevertheless the waiters who was in charge of us later was really kind and full of advice. The dishes are typically Swedish and really good. Well cooked and prepared. We loved the elderflower lime Swedish cider. Nevertheless the music was a bit too loud and we had to wait a bit too much to be served. I would totally recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a typical Swedish dinner. read more

So great lunch place! They have a quite limited menu, but oh so good. One daily dish, one weekly, plus some other dishes. The place feels very welcoming and friendly. Every chair is different, and the tables look like they are 100 years old and made from driftwood. They have an outdoor section, and the personnel is very friendly. The food seemed to be cooked with love and care, and the ingredients were of high quality. There was nothing I didn't like, and I can definitely recommend this place for lunch! read more

I really like Knut! You don't go wrong with their daily special or any of their dishes featuring traditional Swedish meats! The food is delicious and seasonal. The interior is cosy, yet cool. With mismatched chairs, antlers on the wall, a nice bar and handwritten signs. The service is fine, but not amazing. All in all a place that is worth a visit. read more

Just had lunch here today and it was wonderful! It was what one could expect from the Yelp reviews of other patrons! The staff was friendly and even took the effort to speak English when they learned a few of us girls were Americans. That really made us feel welcomed and comfortable. (In the group, our 2nd languages are either Spanish, German, French, or Farsi.) I highly recommend Knut Restaurant to everyone! read more

This authentic Scandinavian restaurant tucked away from the center of Stockholm was an amazing find! We started off with the Platter of the North, an assortment of meats and cheese, and tasted reindeer in three different delicious ways: sausage, jerky, and sliced heart (before you say that sounds disgusting, keep an open mind because the taste to us was anything but). For my entree, I had the minced moose steak, which was served as a patty and brought out the meat's flavorful juices. My wife had the wild duck, and she was not disappointed at all! Overall, the food tasted a bit gamey, and just as authentic as we were looking for! read more

My husband loved his minced moose! The deer stew was ok. The buffalo mozzarella tomato appetizer was yummy, but the dumplings were just ok. This place had great cocktails and the inside is air conditioned, thank god. The interior is really nice and the staff are absolutely wonderful. We would definitely come back to try a few different things. read more

The staff was lovely, they even agreed to seat me 3 mins before the kitchen closes. I order the minced moose burger with mashed roots vegetables and veggie of the day (string beans). Service, ambience and the most satisfying meal after a full day of activities. The waitress even gave me recommendations for other spots to eat and drink. Cozy and delicious. read more

Service was poor 1. Server hospitality needs improvement. Waitress didn't share special of the day or explain how it's prepared. 2.Never came back to check on her table... Limited selection on menu choice Dining area is small.. so expect to be knowing your neighbors and hearing their conversation if they are loud. Food taste: mediocre / more on bland side...not much spices.. Portion size: mediocre presentation: food looks nice on plate and displays excellent Food was ok....and not worth the price you pay for taste and service. I expected more out of the server to sell it and be more passionate about the food and restaurant... I ate the traditional poach salmon dish.. which was served cold. Flavored in dill. It was a bit too vinegary. . And sides was steamed potatoes. 245sek Presentation of the entrées was nice. I think overall.. if you like limited selection, small dining space, over priced entrees, nice staging presentation and below average service.. this might be for you. price: overall atmosphere, service, taste.. I give it 3 thumbs down. Hope the server gets trained better. Training on menu and how each item is prepared would compliment the restaurant ambiance. read more

I absolutely love this place! I loved it so much that I had to come back before I returned to the states and just in time because the menu changes seasonally. Two weeks ago I had the special, a flank steak with a sage sauce and potatoes cooked perfectly. If you want a drink I suggest the cloudberry Mojito. The meat & cheese platter with reindeer carpaccio and moose was quite the Nordic touch and the special creme for the bread. Couple nights ago I just had to have the special again with salmon. The best I've had. Sprinkled with lingonberries and crayfish seasoned perfectly . It melts in your mouth. Nordic cuisine perfection. You can tell you are eating high quality Scandinavian dishes and for decent prices. Their cocktail "champagne of the North" with Lingonberries Sorbet was so delicious. Made me feel extra special to top off the night. I came alone but I thought it would be perfect for any occasion because you can chose between the outdoor patio or cozy indoors. I sat at the bar and the staff was super sweet. The evening atmosphere is relaxed and reminiscent of a Rustic cabin vacation home. If you're in Stockholm it's absolutely worth a walk from central station away from the loud touristy area. Everything I've had was impeccable and fresh. The menu is short and sweet with traditional favorites and modern twists. read more

We found ourselves with friends strolling around Vasastan and found this little Norrlandic restaurant called Knut. They are trying to use ingredients and cooking techniques from Norrland which makes puts the restaurant in a different cathegory imo. There are not many alternatives on the menu which is not that bad actually because since we all tried each different main course, we can say they are good at what they do. We ate "Torkad Ren" (135 kr) with applecutney sauce for starters and "Tunnbrödspizza" (198 kr), "Älgfärsbiff" (208 kr) which was juicy enough, "Fisk och Skaldjurspaj" (208 kr) cooked in a clay pot covered with mille-feuille dough and "Chokladfondant" with little salted chocolate taste (98 kr) for desert. All were good. We shared a bottle of Ripasso which was arounf 350 kr and matched well with both fish pie and the meat. Dimmed lights contributes to the calming athmosphere. Negative aspects were related to the tables and the loud/drunk guests at the downstairs. Tables were made of rough wooden planks so it is not nice to have a nice blouse on. It just pulls threads from your sweater so maybe it might be a good idea for the owner to place a glass panel on the tables to avoid that. read more

Knut is a different but good restaurant. The service is excellent and the food is great but somewhat experimental, which is not a bad thing, just a different thing. It's good value for the money spent and it has a great and relaxed vibe. Be sure to make a reservation since it can be quite crowdy. read more

I wanted Swedish fare for my first night in Stockholm back in March, but my hosts didn't have any recommendations! I guess the locals tend to eat everything but when going out, hehe. Anyway, I found Knut and had a really sweet dinner here. I popped in around 9PM and had a table for myself. The staff was very welcoming, answered my questions ("What's 'snaps'?"), and even offered the wifi password for me to read on my tablet with. They dropped in every now and then to make sure I was doin' alright. I ordered the Minced moose steak, which came with a tasty pea purée and lingonberries. It was my first experience with moose meat and it was yummy! I enjoyed my dinner slowly with an e-book. The restaurant wasn't loud and had a nice ambiance. I'd add an extra star for the dreamy chef that brought my dinner plate out to me if I could. read more

Found this place near the hotel we were staying at. Very cosy decor and we were able to get a table just as a walk in. Food was absolutely amazing! Would recommend the minced moose steak to anyone!

Knut is an experience of itself. Accompanied a visiting friend who wanted to taste authentic Swedish flavors and we were pleasantly surprised. The menu was seasonal (we got the spring menu), simple and carefully selected. The starter "Plate from the North" was quite interesting. Each appetizer complimented one another and it's not every day you get to eat moose heart. For the main course we selected minced Moose, Cod and Lamb (takes the crown) each nicely presented while tasting even better. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing. Especially admired how this place presented that Swedish way of keeping things simple but wholesome. read more

The minced Moose Steak was really good and the staff was outstanding nice. Though the food seemed to be not enough it definitely was, personally speaking, enough. Though if you normally eat much for dinner you probably should get a starter. Also a plus side was that we were able to pay with cash. read more

This was the best meal I had in all of Stockholm. The service is excellent, friendly, and accommodating. If you need anything gluten-free, just ask the staff. The food was amazing.

I was there last Wednesday with a group of 8 people and I have to say the food was DELICIOUSES. I can't remember the name of my meal, it was day's special and it did taste very very good. The potato puree was so rich in taste, fluffy and sweet and next to the meat that pumpkin sauce. hmm yummy. I will definitely come back! read more

Had a lovely meal here tonight. As an appetizer had the arugula and asparagus salad with reindeer sausage. The greens were full of flavor and the sausage was stronger tasting than the typical pork - a nice balance. For mains, we tried the veal, the special which was a pork dumpling, and the sea bass. The sea bass was cooked nicely and had a lovely dill sauce with alfalfa sprouts which gave each bite a nice crunch. The pork dumpling was a bit too smoky for my taste. The veal had an excellent potato side, and the grilled onions with it were nice. The Oregano sauce was full of flavor, and complimented the veal though I thought the veal could have been cooked slightly less. Ambiance was nice - American country music and a rustic feel. read more

Started with a beverage of bourbon + rowanberry + thyme. The bartender said that the rowanberry is typically very sour, so they offset that punch with sugar. It was tasty. The ambiance of this restaurant was rustic cozy. There are about 10 tables with varying number of seats and a bar with 10 seats. Good music during dinner. The cocktail menu is original and daring but pricey (135 sek / 7.81 for USD conversion). The bread and butter basket was just the right pre-dinner snack. The butter was flavorful; soft bread was warm and soft. I ordered the moose steak dish and it was more like a meatball. The flavor was earthy and it was perfectly cooked. There was a flavorful creamy vanilla-type slightly sweet sauce. Berries (not sure what type) and a block of potato browned on all sides were served alongside the moose. I really enjoyed it. The flavors melded together nicely. I used the butter with sea salt from the bread basket on the potato cube. Sublime. Dessert was a warmed cloudberry (typical fruit of northern Sweden) with vanilla ice cream. The berry had an interesting flavor: tart, but not quite like a pomegranate. It looks like an orange blackberry, but doesn't taste like one. The vanilla ice cream was rich and deep in true vanilla bean flavor. However, I'm not sure the two flavors (cloudberry and vanilla bean) worked together for me. I appreciated the crunchy morsels at the bottom of the ice cream. Overall nice, flavorful, Swedish dishes served in a cozy and comfy unpretentious atmosphere. https://aggiegrltravels.wordpress.com/2015/01/02/day-8-stockholm-sweden-stockholm-sweden-knut/ read more

Loved this place! Cute little location, felt like a wonderful small restaurant one would discover in Paris or New York. Was the chance to try moose and -- well, they made it as tasty as they could (but moose is not a dish I would recommend beyond trying once). However, the flatbread was incredible! Fish stew incredible! Extensive alcohol-free / virgin drink selection (ask for it not so sweet). Owner came by and gave us little homemade candies at the end. Lovely place A+. read more

If I could give this place an 11 out of 10 I would! Absolutely incredible. From the service, complimentary bread, beer, entree, and dessert....EVERYTHING was top notch out of this world. First time having moose and it was, to say the least, foodgasmic. I wish I could live in that moment forever. Highly recommend this restaurant. The servers were more than happy to suggest more places for me to eat throughout my trip. I'm so happy I came here read more
