I've been to Rolfs a couple of times throughout the years (the last being a few days ago) and I've always been impressed with the place. Apparently I'm not the only one - since last I visited it is now placed on Michelin's Bib Gourmand list for Stockhom, and rightfully so. Upon entry you'll already feel a lovely blend of Swedish design and quirky aesthetic choices that signal you're in for a good experience. While the interior is tasteful, there are elements like chairs being mounted on the walls and a couple of the seatings being perched up on mounts near the front windows. Everyone who greets you and serves are very delightful, charming, and often funny, which really sets the tone wonderfully. The food itself is on the heartier side but all really well considered and delicious. We had the see bass ceviche with tomatoes (fresh, tangy, and complex) and iberico ham with parmesan (basic but very high quality ingredients), both of which were really delicious. The complimentary bread rolls and butter were really delightful, cooked with a bubbly crunchy texture that was delightful to chew. The main courses included their classic pork confit dish as well as another ibercio pork entree with white beans, cilantro, and chorizo - both were savory and very meat-forward but the star of the show was absolutely those white beans which were prepared in a very savoury sauce. Our total bill including a very good bottle of pinot noir from Napa Valley the bill came to around $240 USD. For the quality of the food, service, and attention to style, as well as the distinction of being a recognized place to eat in Stockholm, I would definitely recommend this place to any traveler who wants to experience local cusine in Stockholm. read more

Rolfs Kök - iberico pork with white beans, chorizo and cilantro - delicious! - Scandinavian Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

Very good food. Attentive staff. It was a positive dining experience for sure. The name for English speakers though.

Awesome sophisticated Swedish home cooking. Some modern sand some classic takes on Swedish food. Neighborhood feel. Restaurant is a bit tight for space but the design and servers do a great job of making this a comfortable friendly meal. read more

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a phenomenal experience. Rolfs Kok is featured in the Michelin guide. Dining is available indoors, by the bar and/or kitchen counter, or outdoors. The view of the kitchen was fantastic seeing the cooks taste their food before service. Meal started off with complimentary bread which was excellent. The bread was crispy on the outside and super soft on the inside. The butter was ok. Moved on to the complimentary cream of broccoli soup which was flavorful and a great way to start off lunch. Opted for the Ox Cheeks for lunch and it was excellent. This was served with a side of super fragrant truffled mashed potatoes along with super tender and flavorful ox cheeks. The sauce was excellent. Service by the waitstaff was excellent. read more

Dinner night of 4 July 2025. 3 of us. Was GREAT. No complaints. Had reservation at 17:00 and was very quiet at first and by time we left at 19:30 it was packed house. Food spectacular in taste and presentation. They deserve their Michelin Guide inclusion. Open kitchen a welcome touch. Staff courteous and as my Swedish is very poor - their English was quite good! Easy walking to Stockholm Centralstation. read more

Had an incredible dinner here on a Sunday night, popped in and found a seat at the bar. The service however left a lot to be desired. I had the braised beef check with came with a potato puree. The beef was insanely tender, it just crumpled apart. The sauce was the absolute stand out here though, so deep in color it was almost black, incredible rich with a massive depth of beefy flavor. The potatoes were the perfect side to scoop up all that sauce with. Sitting at the bar which surrounded the kitchen, I thought it would be easy to get the staff's attention but it was not. I struggled to get a menu, struggled to get a drink, and it was practically impossible to pay my check by the end. The restaurant was only maybe 25% full by the time I was done, and even still I could not find anyone to help me out. I had asked for a dessert menu, which they forgot to bring, and after, no exaggeration, 30 minutes I finally was able to pay. They asked if I changed my mind about dessert, and I just said no, I just don't have any more time. Something had happened with a mischarge for another patron, and they were struggling to correct the situation, so I understand the staff was distracted with that for about 10 minutes. But after 20 more minutes of no one even being around at the bar to ask for help, I got pretty frustrated. I don't usually ding service, but when no one's even around for that long, something isn't right. I still really enjoyed my food and honestly would come back to eat that beef cheek one more time. Hopefully it was just a bad night on the service front. read more

This restaurant is in the Michelin guide, and for good reason. Make a reservation a few days' advance or you end up with the 5pm or 8:30pm dinner times. My party thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Fresh escargot with lots of garlic butter and rolls. Elk ragout was outstanding and not gamey. Iberia schnitzel and its accompaniments were all delicious. Love the way they serve the rolls standing on a skewer - what a space saver for the small tables. Server was friendly and made great suggestions. Food was not overly salty and still tasted GREAT! Good portions for a moderate appetite. A place to definitely return to next chance I get! read more

Excellent all around. 3 of us had Saltimbocca, Veal and Tuna entrees. All delicious and beautifully prepared. Rolf's is away from the touristy areas in a quiet side street. Well worth it if you want great food, place deserves its Michelin mention. read more

I think the only way to describe the staff here is as a well oiled machine. i went with two friends and sat at the bar overlooking the kitchen. I was thoroughly impressed at how well run the kitchen is. The team had such great attention to detail and really took pride in every dish they put out. My friends and I ordered the char, pork chop, chickpea ragu, white asparagus, jamon iberico, and madeleines. Everything was delicious. My two favorite things were the pork chop and the Madeleines. The pork chop was filled with a mushroom filling and cooked perfectly. The madeleines were crispy, cakey and citrussy. The caramel crème was really good as well. Overall this is definitely a must go if you are ever in Stockholm. read more

Rolf's Kok is a modern European restaurant in the core of Stockholm that serves a broad range of high quality cuisine in a great environment. It had been on our list to visit while we were in the city, and we finally managed to go just before the end of our trip. The restaurant is located near a pedestrian zone, but somehow we managed to find parking very nearby. The menu is pretty large and diverse, and prices are reasonable. The interior is modern with fun touches like extra chairs hung on the wall. Service was excellent at all times - with friendly, flexible, helpful staff, prompt food delivery a great environment. Food quality was very good. I had a charcuterie and the pork chop - both great, and everyone loved their food. Overall this was a splendid experience. Strongly recommended. PS: I admit we did laugh about the innuendo inherent in the name (which means Kitchen in Swedish), but that wasn't the reason we ate here. Not the only reason, at least. read more

Came for dinner based on great reviews. Nice, warm atmosphere when I walked in. Lots a customers, a popular place. Ordered a local IPA while I waited for my meal. For appetizer I chose the escargot in garlic butter and parsley. For main, I took the recommended potato pancake with vendace roe. I also ordered a glass of Chablis. The escargot was nicely cooked but it missed the garlicky aroma and flavor. It was okay. I felt no urge to soak my bread in the juice. The potato pancake, as you can see from the picture, was a bit burned thus overpowered the flavor of the delicate roe. It was a disappointment. Service was good but can't say it was first class. The empty escargot plate sat there for way too long. All in all, this is a good choice for a casual dinner but not for a gastronomic experience. read more

Wow, fantastic execution! I went in not having terribly high expectations because the menu read like so many other menus of Swedish/gastropub type of food. However, the way Rolf's Kok made the dishes were just sooo good that I was blown away. Service was friendly. The wine/beer/liquor list was good one with pretty reasonable prices for the quality. I've had braised ox cheeks (and similarly, short ribs) before that have been really good, but this one blew them all away. The cheeks were meltingly tender without being mushy or dry with a bit of fat in between the muscle fibers to create a silky texture in your mouth. The sauce was probably the best red wine sauce I've ever had - great consistency, not too salty, the wine not too acidic or strong, with a hint of sweetness to balance it all out. The accompanying truffled mashed potatoes were also amazing. No over reliance on butter or cream - just pure potato and truffle flavor with real bits of truffle instead of truffle oil/salt/powder/butter. The seafood stew was also quite good. There was plenty of seafood in the stew. The fish, mussels and shrimp in the stew were all perfectly cooked. If I had one nitpick, it'd be that there were too many vegetables in the stew. For dessert, we had chocolate pudding. Simple, but so good. Several other types nearby ordered the entrecôte, and I'd love to come back and try that too. read more

Great food, service and music! The Ox was one of the most tender cuts of meat I have ever tasted. Solid 60's, 70's and 80's playlist. Supertramp, CCR, Eagles, Dire Straits, Huey Lewis, etc. Definitely come to this restaurant!! read more

Food was excellent! Sat outside, waiter was friendly. Had the ox cheek, escargot, the banana and chocolate dessert. My son had the fish stew and Madeline's, both very good. Would definitely recommend! Just off the main road so not noisy. read more

All around a good experience for me! From the rolls they bring out pierced on a tall pin like a spinal cord, right down to the flavors in all the dishes, you will have a pleasant experience. I enjoyed the tofu dish, wish was a delightful pairing of medium soft tofu inside a crispy outer shell. Texturally devine. There were spicy pickles and cilantro to add to the already present mixture of spices (pan-Asian, sweet and spicy). The rice was super buttery, almost like sticky rice but not quite. The soup of the day was tomato, with tons of thyme and not too much tomato. Lovely. Also enjoyed a nice bottle of Gautheron white for the table. All around, so good! Really nice staff, as well. Thank y'all! read more

Great place for a casual and filling lunch! During the week, they offer 2 nice lunch options that change each day and include a bowl of soup and bread rolls. Very tasty and great portion for lunch. Service was good as well! read more

Rolfs Kok has fun decor. They have hooks everywhere where they hang chairs and such and people hang their coats. I started with the minestrone which was not like any other minestrone I have ever had but still good. The vegetables had a bit more crunch than I expected. The flounder was delicious on its own without the hollandaise sauce. We were quite pleased with the Danish donut. Doughy inside and crispy outside!

Walking around looking for a dinner place and stumbled upon here. I sat at the bar and got a beer and the ox tail which was recommended to me by the bartender. I've never had oxtail but I found it surprisingly good and it reminded me of a good short rib. The sauce it was in was delicious and the side of truffle mashed potatoes was a good touch. It's a little on the pricier side, but for the quality and atmosphere I did not mind. read more

An annual recipient of Michelin Bib Gourmand status it was for one last taste of Stockholm that two sat down inside Rolfs Kök, a space many consider to be one of the city's best values at lunch proving to be just that, though those looking for any sort of comfort or personal space should probably consider someplace else. Located at Tegnérgatan 41 and serving from 11h30 on weekdays with Dinner beginning at 17h00 seven days a week those visiting Rolfs at any time day or night are strongly encouraged to have a reservation or be prepared to wait outside next to the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs emblem, a limited number of window seats clearly saved for regulars as even an online reservation the second they became available was not enough to secure one for two tourists. Offering a two-course prix-fixe for 158 SEK each day, an additional seven "Everyday" items offered from the seasonal Dinner Menu, it was with room temperature water poured and businessmen speaking English on both sides that decisions were made before indulging in Bread impaled on a spike, the soft Rolls still warm from the oven and surprisingly dainty in a city where most other offerings were thick Sourdough or toothsome Rye. Happily gilding Bread with silky Butter and then dipping it into Tomato Soup, the day's appetizer thinner than what one commonly sees Stateside, it was with the shallow bowl soon empty that main plates arrived, the daily special of Meatloaf essentially Swedish Meatballs in another form with a looser grind and more richness while Rolfs' famous Ox Cheeks were every bit as good as others suggest, spoon tender and bathed in Red Wine Sauce a French Master would be proud of while the Truffle-perfumed Potatoes were also world class. read more

Amazing food! Great prices for the reputation that this place has (Michelin Guide). Being a Michelin guide restaurant means great prices for great food. We were so lucky to get a bar seating when we arrived without resos...or we probably would have to wait for like an hourish. Food choices: -Beer: decent prices -Ox cheek in red wine, braised with potato puree: the ox just melts in your mouth, you don't get many Ox dishes in America, but in Stockholm there's plenty and Rolfs Kok makes it just right. The potato puree was probably the best potato puree I have ever tasted, it was so soft, creamy and flavorful! -Pork confit: the skin on the pork was so crispy and delicious! The pork wasn't dry and had sooo much flavor -Steak with potato gratin: steak was great, great seasoning and the potato gratin was delicious One of the best food we had in Stockholm! We are a big fan of Scandinavian food! read more

I came for lunch with my sister and it was packed and all the tables were reserved. We were able to choose between the bar or the patio and we chose the patio because it was hot inside. We came for lunch on Monday and the lunch special was a cauliflower soup with salmon or pork for 139 crowns I think or $20. I ordered the salmon and my sister ordered the pork. My sister and I both ate two bread rolls with butter which was yummy. The cauliflower soup, pork, and salmon were all yummy. Other tables ordered the lunch pasta which looked good as well. I would recommend this restaurant for lunch if you want to dine somewhere fancy without spending too much money. The lunch specials were great and I really enjoyed my meal! read more

We had delicious and creative meals and an excellent server. She always knew when to check in but didn't hover. Strongly recommended!

Visiting from Chicago, we chose this restaurant due to walking proximity and good reviews. They only had a later reservation available on a Sunday night, but when we arrived we were very happy to find the place was full and lively. Right off the bat, we loved the atmosphere and warm reception. My girlfriend and I sat at the counter and embarked on a journey we could never have predicted. We ordered drinks and food. Then we ordered more drinks and food. Then more. Everything that touched our tongues was phenomenal. Truly, we could not get enough. The place was firing on all cylinders and we didn't want the meal to end. So, we kept it going. After 2.5 hours or so and most of the menu, liquid and solid, we were sad to be at our stomachs' capacities. I don't want this review to get hyperbolic, however we have rarely had a better, more enjoyable meal in our lives. And believe me, we have been lucky enough to visit many of the best establishments all over the globe. I don't know what Rolf does in that kök of his, but it works. We will be Stockholm-bound again, and we will be looking forward to Rolf's most of all. read more

148 SEK for a lunch pre fixe menu. Dagens is a word you should look out for when dining in Sweden, especially if you're looking to save money but also try some fresh amazing high quality meals at the same time. The day I went, I had the choice of mushroom soup and lamb or fish. I chose the fish which came with potatoes, dill(I think), beets, drizzled with olive oil. You also get a stack of bread which is so fresh and crunchy. Every bite is worth savoring. Every ingredient is so fresh and, unlike many meals I've had in the states, not doused in sauces where you lose the flavor of the vegetables and fish. Service is extremely friendly, you'll see many locals eating there it was quite full when I went. I had a seat at the bar which I would actually recommend because you can watch the chefs making the finishing touches on the plates. Their wine list is extremely extensive. Location wise, right off the street of Drottningsgatan, which is the Main Street with all the shops and such. So you could walk right by it and not know. read more

This place is incredible. We came in late night and the service by Sonny was spot on. The Ox cheeks melted in your mouth and was absolutely delicious. The pork was crispy and moist.

This was hands down our favorite dining experience while in Stockholm. read more

The cheese plate was not very good and the citrus feta salad was literally a shallow plate of feta cheese with 2 slices of grapefruit and orange on it. The flavor was good but please don't call this a salad. That being said, my husband loved his seared fish dish and I really enjoyed the pork. Both dishes were really good with wonderful, unique flavors. I would come back for the main dishes but no starters. read more

Fantastic food and service. You will want to plan ahead and make reservations as this place gets busy.

Awesome food & Great service! One of the top places to dine when you're in Stockholm.

The first trip to Stockholm and I was looking for a place that was more traditional then tourist. Seen the recommendations of this restaurant by others and so I figured it was my best bet. Walking in you are not disappointed. It is a laid back and comfortable atmosphere without all the glitz of trying to be a chi-chi trendy restaurant. The staff is ultra friendly and even though we were told in the reviews if you didn't have a reservation, the bar was your best bet. We were immediately seated at an available table and well taken care of. The Laxtoast was a delicious starter and for the main course I had the Ox Cheeks. Presentation was great and the food cooked to perfection. My wife had the whole fish and was amazed at how fresh it was and easy to eat. Dessert was on point. Whole heartedly recommend this place. Just a wonderful experience. read more

Highly recommend coming to here for a Swedish dinner. We came here prior to a visit to the Ice Bar, given the proximity and amazing reviews on Yelp. We were delighted that there was no wait during prime time on a Sunday during dinner and we're actually able to sit in their street side patio! They start you with amazing bread rolls and butter, loved these and couldn't stop eating them. We then had the Ox Cheek and Pork for the main course. The Ox Cheeck was great but would highly recommend the Pork if having to choose between the two, it was an amazing dish that I've never had something like. The mashed potatoes for both dishes were a bit overpowering, but may just be due to preferences. Would definitely come here again once back in the Stockholm area! read more

4.5, but rounded up since I'm feeling nice :) Excellent fish stew and very friendly service. I loved that the stew is more like a bisque with loads of fish and vegetables. Very fresh fish. I probably could have had this everyday during my trip. The ox cheek was a little too rich for me, but luckily it was my hubby who ordered it and he loved it. Dish came with a generous side of truffled mash potatoes. Lots of local beer on tap! And very efficient and fast service. read more
