After reading mixed reviews my boyfriend and I were a little hesitant to check this place out, but…read moreI am so glad we decided to keep our reservations. Both of us were looking to try some fish in Stockholm and The Flying Elk's fish and chips did not disappoint! The cod is very well battered and fried perfectly, the fries are great as well, and it all comes with a great curry mayonnaise for dipping. You also get some house-made pickled vegetables that add a great acidity element to the meal! We both enjoyed a couple beers and walked away super satisfied. We originally had reservations for the main dining room, but wanted to check out their "back bar" after doing some research, and I would highly recommend it! The back bar is a little less formal, dimly lit, and gives off a good vibe for relaxing, enjoying a beer, and eating some tasty food. While The Flying Elk is tad pricey I think it's a worth a stop if you're visiting Stockholm!

Superb lunch. Frantzièn is one of Stockholm's premier chefs to experience and wanted to try the…read moremain resto on my last visit but couldn't get a reservation. Like Noma in Copenhagen, Frantzièn is booked for months at a time. Next day, I found his gastropub, the Flying Elk. Here you can sample the cuisine of Stockholm's favorite chef. The space is warm, open windows in summer; it's next to the water-- an optimal space to enjoy the breeze while getting a bite to eat, sample brews, an Aquavit and maybe another dish. And I did just that. For starters I had the Pan fried scallops, truffled scrambled eggs, smoked brown butter, pomme paille, covered with bonito style shaved truffles. Get this. I could have had 3 of these dishes easily. I think this is perfection of sea and earth with layer upon layer of earth manna: scrambled eggs with truffles, brown butter, the thinnest crisp potatoes and to add insult to the experience shaved tuffles on top. The dish wants you think it's Japanese, it's not...but so beautifully earthy, beautifully tasty and beautifully satisfying. My next dish the Veal Schnitzel Björn Frantzén: veal with triple cooked fries, roasted anchovy butter, red wine jus and sorrel salad was a symphony of taste contrasts: the panko-crisp texture of the veal with red wine jus (grapey delicious sauce albeit slightly overcooked cutlet), roasted anchovy butter with triple cooked fries (crisp into unctuous browned butter with a hint of anchovy) and the nicely tart (and teasingly pungent) sorrel salad. For dessert: "Eton Mess" Vanilla ice cream w/ raspberries & pink pepper meringue, strawberry & hibiscus mousse scented with roses . This was my fave dessert this trip. It's not just vanilla ice cream, it's amazingly well made silky yet subtle vanilla ice cream, that framed the summer raspberries; you scoop the strawberry/hibiscus mousse with a slightly pungent pepper meringue, the complex crumbles on your palate and you swear you've never had anything like this. The flower petals and dried raspberries on top of this "mess" sealed this dish for me as one my favorite desserts ever. A sauterne and a coffee later, the day seemed perfect. I loved this dish so that on one of my other visits to Gamla Stan, I ordered it to go, to seal the flavors in my memory as we strolled through the cobbled streets of this magnificent city, giddy. Loved it. Coming back. Visits: 2 Tip: Come hungry.

Louis R loves local Swedish pubs close to his 5-star hotel…read more This spot is located on the corner of the main street and the tables outside, filled with local Swedes chatting and drinking, make it easy to find. Don't get intimidated if everyone is speaking Swedish, within, as this is a true local joint. And yes, the menu ain't in 'Murrican. Sorry bruh. The salmon with potatoes was clutch, actually, all the fish dishes here will be on-point. The barkeep was affable and can help you select legit choices in fare as well as drinks. Go with the local beers. Do it. Since this spot is not in Old Town, there won't be many tourists, which suits Louis R. It is very easy to chat with the locals, as they aren't the typical pretentious American D-bags. Be like Louis R, be the only pretentious D-bag in Sweden.

I had dinner in the second room. I would advise you to book a table (I got lucky, someone had booked but cancelled last minute so my friends and I could sit). I had a burger, the meet was very tender and juicy. The fries look like crazy Macdonalds fries but they were actually much better than that, and came with a homemade aioli sauce. I was also super tempted to take tartare steak, the table next to us had some and it looked really good. As it was my first time I wasn't sure of the quality of the meet, but now I know it's good, so next time I'll definitely have that!

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.

This bar can be located in either city, as it exhibits many of the UK public house charms yet everyone inside is speaking Swedish. Dark, cozy, UK decor, sometimes quiet, sometimes loud, affable barkeep, no tourists (since its not in Old Town)...Louis R loves this spot. This bar is off the beaten path, which makes it ideal for winding down after a long day of checkin out the many things to experience in Sweden. Be like Louis R, be international.

I really enjoy having a beer at different Bishops Arms pubs around Sweden…read more They have a wide selection of draught beer but also bottled. I was really surprised to stumbled upon this BA on my stroll around northern parts of Söder. it seems a bit misplaced (no other cafés or restaurants in the nearby area just silent streets) but nevertheless very much welcomed! Indeed! I was here on a Friday at 4.15 and it was already getting crowded. I was lucky enough to get a booth, but since I was alone I almost immediately was asked by the staff if I could make place for another party (of 2). I was asked in a nice way, but when someone ask you feel like you have to either leave or change seats. But understand why, I was alone. Someone I talked to said, this was the best BA in Stockholm. I must say, it wasn't the coziest I have been to, I don't know what it lacks though. By the second booth by the wall and floor you have power outlet for your charger. I had just a small ladylike sized (half pint) of ESB so I was ready to leave after 40 minutes. They accept AMEX.
