The duck was cooked perfectly and paired with a savory sauce and a side of cabbage and grapes. The beef bourguignon was savory and rich and paired with buttery mashed potatoes. The service was amazing and the waitress who helped us was very patient. The interior had a classy feel to it and was clean.

Brasserie Bobonne is a long standing French style favorite at Östermalm. They have now been here…read morefor years and they keep delivering high quality lunches and dinners. The place has a cozy feel and I especially love stopping by in autumn and winter for some soup or casseroles. They also do excellent salads so for spring an summer that is a great alternative. Price wise it is in the mid-range (in Stockholm) but lunches are often good value. Reservations are recommended as the place fills up quickly (they do however have some seats along the window that are for walk-ins). Wine list is not super extensive but what they have on it is carefully selected. The one thing that has not been top class on my past visits is the service. It has been knowledgeable but they have somewhat lost the friendliness that I used to find here. Service is by no means bad or rude so still above the average but not as great as it used to be. While it is cozy it is still not the place for discrete conversations as the tables are close to each other so one can easily hear what others are talking about. To summarize still one of the better French mid-range restaurants in town.

Come early to avoid the wait! We ordered: - grilled asparagus and broccoli with trout roe (185 SEK) - mackerel (175 SEK) - perch (175 SEK) - pork (195 SEK) - milk pudding (100 SEK) - beer on draft (55 SEK) Overall, pretty clean and tasty and I would do it again. They share a kitchen with Gastrologik, which has two Michelin stars, so this is a great option to try that upscale New Nordic cuisine without breaking the bank.

Located next to its Michelin 2 star sister restaurant, this restaurant is owned by the same people. In fact one of the owners was back in the kitchen working this evening. Speceriet services mid size plates big enough to share but small enough to eat on your own. Dishes change frequently based on their farm to table ingredients availability. They recommend you to get 4 dishes if arriving in a pair, and they do not think you need more though most people would want to try to get more than 4 things of this incredibly assembled menu, as they are reasonable and each thing is unique. For this evening, things that piqued my interests were raw fish with juniper oil, cod with almond and salsify, duck and deer. But oh wait, how could I not order moose tartar? Add that please. It did not have elk but I had elk last night. So not too bummed. Given the current US politics, those of us in Blue States would not be caught dead in red states, leaving the only option to eat exotic game meat to Scandinavia. Last year I was fortunate enough to visit Alaska and Bergen, Norway back to back. I had finally got myself over the hump of reindeer meat and elk and moose. I was also incredibly greedy with the cod business, because when cod is fresh it tastes creamy and soft and without strong fish flavor, though oily, it's a treat if you can get your hands on it. None of the dishes were overly complicated but the dishes had all very distinct, nordic taste while being incredibly innovative in terms of seasoning, ingredients, and flavors. The combination of varies items in a dish was a bit of a surprise, but they all worked very well. Then there is the price point, everything on the menu were between $14 to $19. Dessert was less than $10 and it all comes with complimentary drinks before dinner. You can easily fill yourself with 2 things, and chances are you are going to pay for less than $40 per person because these prices already include tax. Stockholm, being the capital city of Scandinavia, often prides itself for being relatively affordable. Now with the USD SKR exchange rate favoring USD, it seems much more affordable all of sudden. I don't know if this is the norm in Stockholm or I hit the jackpot but the food was a bargain considering the quality and quantity. Make a reservation. Arrive on time. Be prepared to spend at least 2 hours here if you are into food. Now that I've done a tour (again) of this town's who's who restaurant business, all of sudden I don't feel so in dire needs of consuming true Scandinavian food in the Bay Area or New York. I can wait until I return here again.

The restaurant is on the first floor. I climbed the red carpeted stairs to the right and was instantly greeted by the menu and a waitress. The decor is posh and trendy. The atmosphere has a great city vibe. Even on a Tuesday, the restaurant was quite full. Prices can go from 150-300kr a person, depending how hungry you are. Regardless of what you order, a complementary basket of breads and butter is served. The food took around 20-25 minutes from order-to-table. Judging from the food freshness, quality, taste to the attentive service and cool ambiance, Paul's has really made a strong first impression. I can't wait to go back and try other delicious dishes, because that menu has nothing I wouldn't like to eat.

Nybrogatan 38 feels like the kind of place every city wishes it had a neighborhood brasserie that…read moresomehow works for breakfast, brunch, or a late-night cocktail. The energy is buzzing, chic, and effortlessly Stockholm. I went for a Queen's Negroni to kick things off (a dangerously smooth twist on the classic) and paired it with their pommes frites and aioli, which might honestly ruin all other fries for me. Perfectly crisp, golden, and that aioli? Let's just say I considered asking for a to-go jar. The whole vibe is stylish but still welcoming where you get the sense this is where locals actually hang out, not just a tourist checklist spot. Service was sharp, warm, and kept the night flowing without a hitch. Bottom line: Nybrogatan 38 isn't just a meal, it's a mood. Come for the cocktails, stay for the fries, and leave plotting your return.

Only disappointment was that in a lot of the other dishes (not pictured) the meat was a bit dry including their signature chicken and steak. Grilled lamb 9/10 : My meat was a little dry but still very yummy and well seasoned. The side sauce/butter complimented the meat very well and was delicious. And the potatoes were heavenly with just enough crunch with a buttery softness. And the tomatoes added an acidic bite that cut into the richness quite well. Swedish meatballs: 11/10 the best in Sweden that we tried on our trip! Homemade and super tender with a delicious sauce and lingonberries. Panna Cotta 10/10 : This is my favorite dessert and it was made really well here. The peaches were fresh and the Panna cotta was light and not too sweet. I'm not a big fan of the crumble but it tastes really well especially the sorbet which was just divine. Tip: Might need a recommendation, but walk in for small groups might be doable as well

The tartare was fully loaded with trimmings and tasted great. The reindeer was perfectly cooked and pre-cut, not tough /AT ALL/. And the Apple cake, all I can say is that you HAVE to get the Apple Cake when visiting! The texture is great and the flavor is amazing! Looking forward to visiting again!
