Nice restaurant and bar deep in the archipelago. It's really amazing that such a place exists.
I can excuse the high prices (relative to the food) given the location, but the service could really be improved.

Attentive and friendly staff even though it was a very busy evening with Uno playing. Will come back when it's not as busy and try something other than the set menu that was available on the evening of the event. Really enjoyed our evening at Idöborg.

Lovely staff, good service and food. Generous place they allowed us to use the showers and supplied towels after we had done a few days kayaking in the archipelago.

The service was good, the atmosphere is just fantastic but sadly the food was not good at all.

We had hamburger, shrimp sallad and salmon. No one of us were sadly satisfied.

The hamburger was cold and didn’t taste anything. The salmon was dry and it was honestly the smallest piece of salmon I have ever seen being served. The shrimps didn’t taste good so we left most of it.

But the view is fantastic and we didn’t have time for the kitchen to give us an extra shot, but again it was not only one thing that we didn’t enjoy.

Great place on a sunny day, super friendly staff.
You can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner here. By the beach next to the restaurant you can cool down, great for families as well. If you think the water is to cold you can rent a great sauna.
