Situated in an 1890's villa previously used as the Doctor's Residence (hence the name…read more"Doktorsvillan") for the old mental hospital next door (today a hotel and business park), that closed down several decades ago. This old and famous house has since then been refurbished into a cozy, familiar and pleasing restaurant environment that tends not only to the sense of smell and taste, but to the very core of a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. I've eaten here on a couple of occasions, and always left both satisfied and smiling. Most recently, it was their now locally famous Christmas spread before the holidays and it just never dissapoints. Immediately walking in the history and relaxing atmosphere just gets to you, from old woodwork to paintings to the decor. Whatever stress you had walking in is immediately washed away by locally produced appetizers on a table in the foyer next to a sparkling wood-burning fire. The whole place brings a feeling of a time long since passed when people weren't rushing through their days and lives, but actually stopped and lived in the present. The dining area is nowhere near what is considered normal for a modern restaurant. Instead, there are tables of various sizes (and can be accomodated/changed to fit pretty much any need) in different rooms such as the doctor's personal study, the dining room, the wine cellar, the outdoor garden gazebo and so on. On the table the porcelain, silverware and glasses are all according to the time period of the previous turn of the century, hinting at the classical ingredients, dishes, and wines to come. The Christmas spread served in a larger room only lit by burning candles is an extravaganza in food where one may enjoy a lot of interesting dishes such as smoked reindeer heart with lingonberry chutney, truffel pate, cold smoked salmon with herb sauce, a wide variety of pickled herring, different sausages and salamis, leg of mutton and so much more that is borderlines on sensory overload. An entire table is dedicated to desserts where the most amazing thing is that they are very small (almost tiny), which allows one to taste many of them and thus outsourcing your personal favorites to go back to for on another round. Going away from the Christmas spread (for me, a holiday isn't complete without a visit here every December), I've had a la carte dishes here such as lingonberry soup with vanilla parfait, coffee with home made almond/cardamom sweets, seared trout with bucktorn hollandaise and roe, and grilled reindeer from Jokkmokk with cranberry sauce, shii-take mushrooms, lingonberries with punch, stewed palt (googe it, local dish for Piteå) and smoked pork. Every dish has been nothing short of amazing. This place is more than a meal, it's an experience for all your senses and an evening away from everyday and everything ordinary and well deserved of a visit. To me, Doktorsvillan may well have all the ingredients for a star in guide Michelin.

After a fairly standard day at work on an ordinary Monday I met up with my wife downtown for a bite…read moreto eat as we had an entirely different appointment later on that evening, but going to that hungry was entirely out of the question. Living in the small-town that we do, the dining scene is in most regards not what would qualify as "substantial" but instead more along the lines of "adequate on occasion". The franchise and gastro-pub Bishops Arms opened here fairly recent, so we decided to slip in for a bite to eat and get a feel for the place. I've eaten at Bishops Arms in other cities before, and while they haven't wowed me with their food on previous occasions, their assortment of whiskey have always been substantial and well above par. Interestingly enough, they had just switched the menu this very day so everything was brand new. It had some quite interesting dishes like starters such as seared scallops with cauliflower purée, side of pork, and burnt butter. Or why not brisket with mushroom stew, and mustard crème on toast. Being a bit pressed for time we opted for only a main course and I had duck breast with fried potato chips, gooseberry chutney, and cauliflower purée. My wife had their chuck-roll burger with dressing, onion marmalade, coleslaw, and French fries. My duck was nicely cooked, pink in the middle with the fatty side nicely scored and rendered down. However, it wasn't an entire duck breast on the plate but two larger pieces of one breast - a cheap and bad move. The cauliflower purée had nice flavor as well as texture. Gooseberry chutney was a nice and flavorsome combination both for the duck as well as the potato chips. The chips however were seriously over-seasoned with salt and cold as ice. That dish would have been so much better with hot potato chips straight from the fryer. I also seriously lacked some sort of vegetables on the plate that goes well with a bit of duck. My wife's burger was also nicely cooked, a bit pink in the middle and juicy. Buns lightly charred/toasted and still warm, and in particular the onion marmalade was a perfect compliment. Fries nicely done (and hot) and not dripping with oil, but the amount of dressing was a bit off-putting the way it had been spread out over the plate. One thing that also was a bit off-putting not related to the food was the fact that the staff working there was standing behind the bar, giggling over their smart-phones, as well as the chefs that came out of the kitchen standing their in the bar too, instead of tending to customers and being professional about the people coming in there to spend their money. It is a quite unprofessional way to act in a restaurant. In all it's a gastro-pub part of a franchise, and the food is acceptable. But is it worth it? No, particularly for the reasons/problems mentioned above. Had I gotten a whole breast, warm potato chips and vegetables on my dish I'd have definitely been more inclined towards coming back and try another dish. As of now, I'd rather give it a pass and go somewhere else.

I've always enjoyed sushi. Never loved it to that point that I actively look for a sushi restaurant…read morewhen I travel or such, but if the opportunity presents itself I never shy away from it. This place has been here for some time, located a bit off and away from the main city street where most people, cafes and stores are located. However, people do find their way to this establishment anyway, mostly during the busy rush hour lunch traffic. In the afternoon however, I've never had the feeling that particularly many find their way here as it usually looks borderline on empty. The location as such can't be sugarcoated no matter how you look at it, it's simply almost as bad as it comes. In the corner of a dead-end street next to a parking garage and no stores in the vicinity makes it stand out in the wrong way. The next thing is the decor and design of the restaurant itself; it's extremely boring with absolutely no sense of style. It looks very old and outdated. It would gain so much by changing out the interior making it darker, more inviting, shut out some of the horrible "view" outside by doing something to the windows such as curtains, drapes and modern art. Also, advertising near the ordering counter (another big letdown, they should have waiters instead) that they want you to "like" them on other social media sites (none mentioned but you have brains...) as that earns you an extra two pieces for free is just, well, I have no words for it. That they also advertise on a whiteboard above the ordering counter how many "likes" they have is, well again I'm entirely lost for words. We've all heard that if you can't say anything positive, then don't say anything. I'll try and keep myself to that saying in this particular case. These things aside, no matter how much I dislike them, the food should be in focus. And if we're talking only about that I must say that I'm slightly impressed. Have I had better sushi than these? Absolutely. Have I had worse? Oh for sure! They are delicately prepared, fresh and well-tasting with just the right amount of rice. One sushi-bite can be taken as a whole and it doesn't feel too big in your mouth, neither does it disappear right away. Size-wise they are right on the money! They come presented on a black plate, making all the colors stand out and they all look like small pieces of art. On the tables there are three different kinds of soy sauce that caters to whatever amount of salt you want your soy sauce to have. The wasabi wasn't the mildest I've had either, so it packed a good punch to the soy sauce. The ginger was pickled sweet and a great contrast to both the sushi pieces and the sauce. Also, the miso-soup based on fish stock that I had before my main was also very good. Definitely had worse of those as well! So why only a 2 rating you ask? Well the food is a definite 3, no doubt. But my problems here are the location and the decor of the place making it feel like a sleazy back alley joint that earns them nothing more than a rating of 1. So overall the rating is what it is. But if you want some well prepared sushi, pick them up as take away instead and enjoy them somewhere nicer, perhaps in the comfort of your own home. Get in, get your food, and get out.

It all started with that one restaurant in Luleå and after that it pretty much all went haywire,…read moreand these Bastards are well on their way on creating a brand new franchise! If they succeed time will tell, but what I can tell you is that their most recent restaurant in the heart of Piteå doesn't disappoint. Walking in there's no doubt that you're in a BB-joint. The cold stone floor, tiled counters, and quite obscure patch work on the walls ranging from tiles, to untreated plywood and more. It's just really cool and hip. Almost a bit hipster to be honest. This particular location is more open than perhaps their first restaurant in Luleå, and I really like what they've done with the place. The menu and the burgers are the same, though this time I went for a Texas which is one of the burgers I have yet to sample but wanted to for some time. Texas, apart from the traditional fluffy and delicious bread and the juicy burger cooked to perfection, has wood-smoked bacon, red onion, crispy green lettuce, two slices of gorgeous cheddar cheese, fiery bbq-sauce and chipotle dressing. This burger paired with the ever so tasty sweet potato fries and an aioli dip is all you need to fall head first into burger heaven. I may sound over the moon in my description here, but the burgers and sides are really that good and I don't mind paying more money for local ingredients cooked absolutely perfect. And truthfully? My previous burger favorite New York now has to share the #1 spot with Texas. Next time, I'm heading for L.A.!
