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.

Affordable selection of wines were on offer. Service was friendly and efficient. One cannot go wrong dining here; they have an inspiring bar lounge to visit, too.

Another gem for cocktails in Stockholm!…read more The place was very intimate and charming with a very interesting menu showcasing about 12-15 drinks. Everything sounded delicious and I followed the bartender Johan's suggestion to try the White Strawberry as it met all my flavor notes (fruity, not too sweet, semi strong drink). My friend got the Black currant leaf as she liked something whiskey based and it was a bit stronger than it sounded on the menu. I really liked how the bar/restaurant only sources local ingredients that are in season so the drinks were very tasty and refreshing. We sat by the bar and chatted with Carl and learned so much about the cocktail culture and "dance tax" in Sweden!

Brasserie Bobonne is a long standing French style favorite at Östermalm. They have now been here…read morefor years and they keep delivering high quality lunches and dinners. The place has a cozy feel and I especially love stopping by in autumn and winter for some soup or casseroles. They also do excellent salads so for spring an summer that is a great alternative. Price wise it is in the mid-range (in Stockholm) but lunches are often good value. Reservations are recommended as the place fills up quickly (they do however have some seats along the window that are for walk-ins). Wine list is not super extensive but what they have on it is carefully selected. The one thing that has not been top class on my past visits is the service. It has been knowledgeable but they have somewhat lost the friendliness that I used to find here. Service is by no means bad or rude so still above the average but not as great as it used to be. While it is cozy it is still not the place for discrete conversations as the tables are close to each other so one can easily hear what others are talking about. To summarize still one of the better French mid-range restaurants in town.

My companion had the fall apple dessert which was nothing short of divine. We were welcomed home by our favorite bartender, upon arrival and that in itself is a good base for a lovely experience. The place is cosy and romantic, but seeing as how we were seated in the bar area we didn't get the whole nine yards. The service was fantastic, the desserts and coffee were better than we had anticipated and the most important bit (to me) is the bathrooms - which are always in tip top shape. We haven't eaten any food there, yet, so I will have to update this when the time comes.

Brasserie Balzac is a French-inspired restaurant on the edge of Stockholm's core. We ended up here…read morebecause our airbnb was on the same block and we had run out of time to go further afield. In the end the meal was fine but not amazing. The decor is very classically french restaurant - dark wood, light coloured surfaces. The menu is also pretty classic, with lots of familiar and inviting dishes. Menu prices were reasonable, but not cheap. Service was patchy. We were there on a busy night, and it took time to get attention. However, the folks we dealt with were friendly and our food came correctly, if slowly. Food quality was ok. I liked my appetizer (pate) as did my compatriots. However, my steak wasn't great - not a great cut of meat, prepared just ok. My compatriots were also not that satisfied. Overall, this was a mediocre experience and I would not return.

Very bustling and crowded spot on weekends, make a reservation as I had to wait a while to get in. I asked for Fanta and got "Zingo" instead, it was pretty good. I ordered thier seafood "casserole" which is actually a soup with chunks of fish and mussels in a tasty broth, I enjoyed it although I felt the quantity wasn't enough. The server was very friendly, gave us bread and a craft of water rather promptly. Our only issue was getting our main course, it took almost more than a half hour, I did not want to spend more than an hour here, I had already finished my Zingo by the time the food was brought. I couldn't resist. Someone else paid my meal so can't comment on the price. But like anywhere else in Scandinavia beware when you order alcohol as it is very pricey. Once you get through the young hipster weekend crowd and sit down you'll have a pleasant experience, hopefully the food wait doesn't happen often.

The pork belly is outstanding. It's not always on the menu, but if it is, don't even bother…read moreconsidering any other dish: just put the menu down, and order the pork belly. As much as I spent most of this trip to Sweden complaining about how expensive everything was, their pork belly was just an amazing rendition of a ubiquitous dish that it seems like any self-respecting restaurant thinks they must offer. The execution of a particularly generous serving was stellar: an absolutely crispy skin overlying bite after juicy bite of pork beneath. The caramelized apples were also great, elevating a familiar pairing in a way that I just had not tasted before. I went back a second time in hopes of closing off my Swedish trip with the same dish, but unfortunately had the meatballs (this is how I found out it's not always on the menu). Nothing spectacular there - pretty standard as I've had elsewhere, but not bad. And certainly nothing like the pork belly.

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.
