Perch on a blue stool at the bar or high tables in the cream and blue tiled small room and join local Swedes in a drink and dinner. A great atmosphere in a little spot tucked in next to the Opera. definitely eat the swedish meatballs with potatoes, lingonberries and pickled cucumbers. Wine is so expensive - drink the beer...

Was treated to this restaurant for my b-day. There was a choice of a 7 course or 5 course tasting menu and we opted for the 5 course menu with the drinks pairing. All dishes were very good and there were lots of amuses served before and in between the dishes and though we had only "five" dishes - we... More

We had made reservations a couple months in advance for the Julbord - the Christmas Smorgasbord - at this highly-recommended restaurant in the Royal Opera. From start to end, we felt like we were the most special persons in the room, and the room was full. We may have been the only non-Swedish couple there, but we were taken care... More

Swedes are not Danes. The two countries are quite distinct. You might say that Denmark is the Italy of Scandinavia, and Sweden is the more serious, some would say dour, half of the pair. Stockholm is a more formal city than Copenhagen. But the food in both cities is excellent. If you happen to find yourself in Stockholm (and you... More

The food is always wonderful, but the Christmas Smörgås bord is fantastic! The staff is more than welcoming and the whole restaurant is just beaming! We sat in the small separate room facing the Royal Palace and Grand Hotel watching the snowflakes fall... It is very hard to choose... Heerings to die for, bleak roe, eggs with shrimp and salmon...

The food, environment and service was fantastic. It is quite expensive, but worth every Swedish krone we payed. I would love to go back.

Everything is just perfect at this restaurant. You get a warm welcome when arriving and then you sit in a fabulous dining room. The service is attentive and not too formal: you could actually speak with the waiters and waitresses. You hardly notice that you are in a formal dining room. It seems that the chef is trying to create... More

Maybe the finest and best restaurant in Stockholm, expensive and exclusive... Can only be compared with The restaurant at Grand Hotel. Star in Guide Michelain

Coming from New York City, I remembered the Edwardian Room at the Plaza Hotel in the 1950's and smiled as we entered. But this was better.....and it's here. So it begins that the mood is set by the architecture and continues with the grace of the staff. And the food is terrific. There were 10 of us and we are... More
