This was an extraordinary experience. The food was a new experience. It is made with love and passion. Everything tastes new. The food plays a symphony with your taste buds. The wine is very special. It's fantastically good. The staff are very friendly and professional. The chef is very nice and he checks his customers. No delays. No cold food. I would say this is probably one of the best restaurants in Sweden I have ever been to. It might be a bit expensive but it worths every penny. I would wanna repeat the experience again. Thanks to all the staff for this beautiful experience.

Great restaurant with excellent food and exceptional service. An experience well recommended! Their selection of non-alcoholic wines was very well matched with the food as well and did not feel rushed.
Be prepared for an exclusive experience. Fit for the best!
