The noodles were carefully tucked and folded into a bed, then the torch-seared char siu was layered on top. Then, the generous portions of onions, bamboo, and a perfectly-cooked egg. Yum. The restaurant itself is umarked on the outside. Once you find it, you will enter into a minimalistic space where the natural light bounces off the warm grey walls.

We had to wait just a couple of minutes for two tables to open up but it was well worth the wait. The menu is limited, but I appreciate that they are serving what they know they have perfected.

Once they were open, it took a long time between us being given menus to finally getting our food- 50 minutes. They should've given us our side while we were waiting for the board. We ordered a side of salami and Swedish cheese and the hairy pig board. I enjoyed the side, but the board not so much. The board consisted of wild boar sausage with broche bun, wild boar taco, peppercorn fries, and wild boar lasagna. The board was quite heavy and salty. I didn't have enough stomach space to even try the taco. I did enjoy the fries, but it's not enough for me to want to return.

This place is tucked below street level and is very intimate and downright cozy with its low beam wood ceiling, wood tables in every cranny it can fit to accommodate guests, and a tiny little bar. You can find this place outside by the wooden sign with the boar on it, then simply peer down into the low window and if you see a hairy pig nomming on a sausage, congratulations! You're in the right place. We stopped in not long before closing time and that was probably the only reason we were able to get a much coveted table. The barkeep was nice and let us put in a quick order while also getting us drinks. Unfortunately for me, there were not very many gluten free tapa options on the menu, but there were a few naturally gf. The salami and sausages were thought to have gluten so I went with the smoked shell on shrimp, a cheese dip, and some salad with olives. I wasn't crazy about the smoked shrimp but the olives and cheese were good. The husband enjoyed a sausage in bun which he said was great. Overall we liked the vibe and I think if you can eat the locally sourced meats like my husband it's probably a pretty solid place. If you're gf or allergy you'll probably still be hungry at the end of the meal like I was.

If I could, it would be a 10 out of 5 stars in terms of romance and history. We went with a group of people and it was a set menu. We started with a mushroom soup that had perhaps not the depth of flavor as the best mushroom soups I've had, but it was very good. Next, as our main course, we had Swedish meatballs, gravy, and mashed potatoes. Without a doubt, these were the best Swedish meatballs I've ever had, and they also should get bonus points above and beyond the five star service. The dessert was a very serviceable apple cake (yes, cake, not pie) with an excellent vanilla cream sauce they called "custard." Service was a bit robotic, but we were a group of two dozen people, so basically, there goal was to serve food and collect dishes. Because of that, I can't really take service into account on my overall rating. This restaurant is in the heart of the Old Town, so easy to get to and recommended.

Sometimes you just need somewhere to catch your breath, catch up, and plan for the rest of the day. Chokladkoppen did that for me. I had the Hot Chocolate and a cinnamon bun, and leisurely sat at my table for at least 30 minutes. There was never pressure to move on, which is so common, at least in the US ("Are you finished working on that? Can I bring you something else? Can I bring you a box?). The hot chocolate was dark, very much tasted like quality chocolate, and like a warm massage. I also ate one of their cinnamon buns, which are very popular in Stockholm. It also hit the spot. The cost of the hot chocolate was $6 USD and the cinnamon bun was a few cents less. The view from the table and people watching alone was worth the total $12 cost, but so was the hot chocolate and cinnamon bun.

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).
