It was very crowded and so hot today. The cakes and sweets are all sitting out on a table like a buffet in the heat and while the idea is nice, it is all situated close to the bathroom. If you have the time, it is a nice location but I would not say it is a must visit.

Our first experience island hopping and we came across this lovely restaurant. It's 2mins from where the boat drops you off and you can sit outside in such comfy chairs, lounge and soak up the sun and sights. I havn't been this chilled out in a long time! My food was so tasty, fresh and filling! We shared a bottle of wine recommended by the staff which was delicious. Also! They allow pets and to my pleasure I got to sit beside and meet a lovely Doggy!

It had a great view an really made you feel like your in they heart of the island. I decided against staying here for dinner as the lines were long and reviews were low.

After following a restaurant earlier today that had great reviews I've decided to not waste my short time here an go with what's recommended.

Our room was European standard (small) but clean it faced the water which was nice. It had 2 side tables w a lamp, a desk w chair and 1 sitting chair, the closet had an iron/board. The bathroom had a towel warmer, blow dryer and the amenities they had in both the sink area and shower were the soap dispensers. No drawers for clothes but that was ok w us considering we were only there 2 nights. We ate downstairs *ground level and it was very nice. I had the Baltic fries herring w glass of white wine *it was good and husband had the burger (*he said it was just "OK"). For breakfast (*included) was in the main restaurant and it was quite nice, muesli w fixings, scrambled eggs (*which I found mushy), bacon, soft/hard boiled eggs, variety of cheeses/meats, sliced veggies, juices/tea/coffee/water, fresh breads/croissants. There's actually a couple of other restaurants outside of the gots that you would enjoy as well. This is a very small place so don't expect a lot. We enjoyed strolling around and just soaking it all in. We would definitely return :)

Amazing tiny restaurant tucked next to the Royal Opera. When I say tiny, I mean tiny. There is…read moreoutdoor sidewalk seating, but inside is three two person tables and a bar. We heard it can be difficult to get a table, so we went in the middle of the afternoon. When I say we had an incredible, traditional Swedish meal, I am really underselling the experience. We had the pickled herring starter and it was so unique and interesting. Each bit of herring was prepared a different way. I was full from that, but we pressed on. Meatballs and gravad lox were to die for. After that, I'm not sure why anyone eats a berry other than lingonberry. We joked with our server that it can be hard to serve an American a meal they can't finish, but they were clearly up to the task. She smiled and said they were proud to stay true to traditional Swedish food and it was a hot spot for locals. We haven't had a bad meal in Stockholm yet, so hard to compare, but a must stop if you're visiting.

We had just arrived that afternoon and were walking around our hotel to look for an early dinner. The dining room is lovely but not too stuffy or formal. We ordered the brown bread for starters, along with some wine and beer. I ordered the Arctic char (parsnip, chili, hazelnuts, browned butter and a soy glaze) and Paul G. went with the meatballs (hand-rolled and with cream sauce, mashed potatoes, lingonberries and pickled cucumber). We had the traditional Swedish meatball dish a few more times during the trip and they all came with the same components, but Bistro Bestick's was my fave. The sauce was heavier, velvety and creamy, and the potatoes were oh so fluffy. The berries were tart and fresh. I loved my fish, too... the hazelnuts, brown butter and soy were such a bright, unexpected combination. I enjoyed every bite. Don't sleep on dessert here! I couldn't even finish my dinner but still wanted to try the chocolate rum cake (salty caramel sauce, roasted peanuts, vanilla ice cream and crispy sesame) and what a delightful flavor explosion! It was beautifully presented and the sesame "cracker" on top was the perfect contrast to all the sweetness. I'd highly recommend BB!
