It's weird to go to a place that knows so much about California wine in Stockholm. Especially when…read moreyou're from California. Turns out one of the guys behind the bar is a California regular when he travels and turns out knows many of the same people I know. Crazy. He's also one of the more well known wine distributors in the area so he does know everyone in the restaurant scene. Since I had no need for a CA wine I was offered a very good Barbaresco and some great conversation to mark my last day in town for a while. Great energy, drinks and people.

We had dinner reservations across the street at Kagges so we came here right as they opened at 5pm. Would love to have tried their snacks which sounded perfect with our cocktails (like Peruvian corn!) but didn't want to spoil our dinner. We came back after dinner and headed downstairs which we discovered is a late night bar. We enjoyed chatting with the bartender who recommended our next stop to us - Akkurat (amazing selection of on tap beer/pub). Downstairs and in the back is the Flying Elk which is also great with outdoor seating.

Wow ... i didn't write for the most awesome place I went to in the rather gloomy Stockholm. My…read moresistar found this place on yelp. Im glad she did. The cocktail drinks were slamming. I will go through my archives and post what I have from the establishment. The employees were so sweet and truly were the cherries on top regarding our experience here. We had so much fun here we dropped over 400 bucks I feel in American Dollars. One drink we had was the gonzo. The bar manager who was there that day ( my visit was in February 2017) had recently won a Bacardi cocktail competition for Sweden and was be going on to the international competition and if she won, the gonzo would win some notoriety [think same status of staples like rum and coke, vodka tonic, etc etc, along those lines.] The club also sold a few finger foods which I don't recall too much but I do remember them being tasty. All in all pretty pricey bar in a nice area near Gamla Stan. If you need advice on visiting Sweden, go in the springtime or warmer weather as it is an country of several islands and best explored from the water.

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.

This restaurant is located in what I would call the "Craft Beer" district…read more The staff all speak good English and I was seated with the four folks I was planning to meet with for happy hour. I tried all their IPAs and they were all good. Nothing like the Best West or East Coast beers in the US, but all were local (or European), and I appreciated the efforts to offer local Swedish IPAs. I was there before dinner, so ordered just an appetizer. I had the been tartare, and it was terrific. They provides all the ingredients (raw eggs, onions, capers, etc.), and the beer was very fresh. I appreciated they allowed us to carve out one person's order from the rest of us (he did not drink) and then we could split the bill easily with the server's help.

At that hour, they only had snacks, burgers & fish & chips available. But, we were surprised at the variety of beer on tap; they even had Lagunitas! I settled for the bartender's recommendation: the UnderCover (Bacon, Cheddar cheese & Smokehouse Steak Sauce.) No complaints - really big and tasty burger. It was about $18 after conversion though, but that's pretty standard for Stockholm!

So far so good, but lately i noticed that food quality has gone down. Last time i visited this venue in Gamla stan the place was packed and service slow. They are fortunate enough that most ppl dont put to much consideration about the food, due to the sports. But in my case, when you as a customer start focus on other things rather than sport, your warning flags are raised, and the restaurant probably got it wrong somewhere. This could be the perfect spot to get together and have a semi-live sport experience along with some great food. But when the prices are getting steeper and mains worn down, I rather spend my time and money somewhere else.

Gaston is the 2nd wine bar in the Frantzén empire (the first one is in the Old Town (Gamla Stan)…read morenext to the same owners gastro pub the Flying Elk, cocktail bar Corner Clu and around the corner from the fine dining Frantzén restaurant) and this one located inside department store NK. It is part of the increased ambitions of NK when it comes to its food and beverage offering. The wine bar is on the top floor of the department store and so far it is often a very relaxed and calm place. The space is considerable bigger than the original Gaston which is nice for larger groups but it does also lack some of the charm of the smaller Gaston. I do still like it though as it is easy to just pop in for a glass without having to worry if there is space. The selection here is a bit smaller than in the original Gaston but it is still good for a wine bar. Usually around 10 wines by the glass and they also offer the nice sommelier's choice where the sommelier will select 3 wines and give you smaller tasters (approximately 1/3 to 1/2 glass) for 120 SEK. Great fun to be able to taste a lot of different wines and also try things one otherwise would not go for. I would prefer a better selection of champagne by the glass, it has lately been the good but boring Charles Heidseck and I would rather see some of the more exciting champagnes on the list. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and really interested in wine so always fun to chat a bit with them. As it is often rather calm here they do also have time to chat longer. It is also possible to order food from the other restaurants on the same floor and eat it at the tables at Gaston. One major drawback is however the limited opening hours - they cannot be open later than the department store so not open after 20.00 on weekdays and only until 18.00 on Saturdays.
