    Augustikväll
    Mats C.

    In the summertime Mälarpaviljongen remains the stellar location for lunch, fika, cocktails or light dinner. The views are just amazing a warm summer night! A previous review I wrote was written in the early parts of their summer season, and was a visit marked by repeated subpar performances. I have however been back a couple of times this summer, and I have to give them credit for improved service and food experiences.

    I got this place recommended by a Swedish work mate. The food was great and it's location is beautiful, especially in the evening sun. But It was just too crowded for my liking! If you enjoy hanging out with all of Stockholm at the same time, then this is the place for you. The spot seems very friendly towards same-sex couples and people off all ages. Leaving the pavilion we spotted a rabbit :)

    Strawberry basil drink. Expensive but delicious!

    This place is MAGICAL - but crazy expensive. It's one of the absolute best spots for enjoying Swedish summer. The white-painted wooden dock bobs on the water along Kungsholmen, the sun shines down, the green plants spread throughout make it feel tropical. It's a beautiful bar and restaurant at a beautiful location. The drinks are beautiful, too. But be warned about the prices. One cocktail will easily set you back 140kr. I always opt for the tasty strawberry-basil drink in a jar, but I usually just stick to one drink here due to the prices. It's a great place to kick off an evening, gathering friends for a single drink, and then moving on.

    Swedish Arctic Char and Swedish meatballs on the lake at Mälarpaviljongen
    Cathie W.

    I loved it! Quirky semi self-service, but the food is fantastic and the location exceptional. I loved being on the water and the fun of exploring what's basically a little floating garden. My husband thoroughly enjoyed a perfectly delicious and beautifully presented traditional Swedish meatball dinner. I order Swedish Arctic char in a light sauce with roasted vegetables. It was also beautifully presented but I swear the fish must have jumped fresh onto my plate. It was easily one of the best I've had at any restaurant.

    Over the top. Best food I have had in Sweden thus far. So very fresh and good. I am an avid fisherman and have caught herring before but this herring is Michelin quality rating amazing. I cannot believe this is not a more expensive and five star yelp restaurant as the prices are perfect, the atmosphere is delighting and the people here are so incredibly nice. If you are looking for an incredible experience come here. They have English menus so do not be deterred when you walk in. I have been sitting here for 35 min and it seems that the line is always long and coming from a guy who hates lines this line is worth it.

    This is my favorite place in the world when it comes to a lunch, afternoon drinks, pre-party drinks, a snack or just having a moment where you enjoy life! It is absolutely beautiful positioned next to (and ON) the water. The restaurant are is surrounded by flowers, trees and plants which makes it an oasis in the centre of Stockholm. The Bar area itself is actually on the water, on a massive and extremely comfortable floating pier. No need to mention that the scenery is just stunning. The clientel is very mixed: gay, straight, young, old, rich, non-rich, famous, non-famous, couples, families, singles...In other words, everyone loves this place. The food feels fresh and tastes nice, they have a good selection on wine and beer as well as gorgeous cocktails. If you visit Stockholm in the summer months, this is a must!

    This is a seared smoked salmon. So amazing.
    Joseph L.

    Just lovely. A beautiful location, delicious food. Yes it's expensive and yes it's crowded but it was worth it. The simple sandwich of salmon and potatoes was very nice, and my Swedish meatballs were wonderful. But the seared smoked salmon was simply to die for. Probably one of the best salmon dishes I've ever tried. I'm a tourist here and this made for a perfect first meal in Stockholm!

    Good food, wine list, and atmosphere. Floating on the pavilion on a sunny day is one of my favorite Stockholm activities.

    What a delightful place. Not stuffy at all. Feels like a local watering hole but not a dive bar…read more Stellar cocktail menu with fascinating background into history and recipes. Be ready to make friends, the menu literally tells you to and people act on it. Bartenders are friends and fellow patrons just as friendly.

    Found this as an unranked ( or maybe just ranked low) bar on the world's 50 best bars list in…read moreStockholm. The bar is small, unassuming and finds itself on a street filled with conspicuous, Italian restaurants hosting happy hours for corporate Swedes. The bar is a standout for the drinks, the trademark Swedish charisma and genuine warmth. As a side, shout out to Sweden for having the nicest, most welcoming people in the world. We were given a standing table when we got in, but quickly moved to a couple of seats by the bar. We were one of 8 couples at the bar, so yes, very date night vibes. For our first round of drinks, we got the Easy Martini and Let them Eat Cake. The latter was too sweet for our liking but the Easy Martini had the perfect amount of sweet and tart. Our second round was the winner with the Girl Dinner and their Old Fashioned. The Girl dinner was crafted to perfection and possibly the best version of a martini we've ever had. The old fashioned too, made with WhistlePig 10 years was fantastic. The service cannot be faulted, we profusely thanked the lovely bartender, vowing to crow about it to whoever cares to listen and to be back when we are in Stockholm next.

    If I was 19 years old - I imagine I would come here often…read more.. Once in a blue moon it is very fun to have a big night out, drinking and dancing with friends - and this was a great place to do just that. With a big enough group and a table, you feel like you can breathe, move around freely and enjoy the night. The music was very "pop" which was fun for dancing and singing along.... who doesn't like a little Riri in their life :) I could not imagine coming here with just a girlfriend and braving the dance floor area - then I would probably be giving 2 stars - as you can barely walk through the masses, I'm sure it must take an hour to order a drink and I would certainly feel old - as I could probably be the mother of some of the young kids here...

    I don't know what to think of this place. The drinks were decent at a very "decent" price (ie it's…read moreexpensive of course -- you're in östermalm) but there's no entrance fee or people making you wait to get in so that's always nice. The music was terrible! This girl/guy combo spinning just the least interesting crap. Both me and my friend tried to request something and the guy just kind of shook his head and played dumb (I'm pretty sure he had Spotify open on his laptop and I was showing him a song on Spotify...). The crowd was weird. Mostly older 35-40 sprinkled with a few younger people. I kind of wondered what they and we were doing there. Okay let me clarify, the crowd wasn't weird because of the age but rather something felt wrong about the social situation in the room. The setup inside is interesting, with a sort of stage and tiered seating for looking out on the "crowd" (the "dance floor" / "mixing-area" is pretty small, in fact it's a very small little alcove in the back of a restaurant). My friends kept saying it was a nice place to see people dressed up, but I just saw girls with big, ugly watches and guys with large laptop briefcases at their feet (at 12am on a Friday night) otherwise wearing nothing too interesting. No one looked particularly classy, chic, bussiness pro, or even dapper cool -- except us, of course ^^ I would come back here because I have a feeling it was an off-night in terms of experience but I wouldn't recommend going here as I experienced it. I'm not saying definitely do NOT go here. But I can't give it my recommendation at this moment in time.
