I had the five course menu with wine accompaniment. Anything less than 5 stars would not be appropriate. Very competent and courteous service (knew all the details about the food and wine). I personally found each of the five courses to be very well thought out and perfectly crafted. The wines also met my taste. One of the best culinary evenings in a long time. Many thanks to Björn and his team, I'll be back soon. Greetings from Bavaria.

Best meal you will have! Got the 5 course meal and every single one of them was amazing! This is easily the best meal I’ve had since being in Europe. There isn’t many restaurants where I’m from that offer course meals but I really wish they did after this dining experience. You won’t be disappointed. It started with raw scallops then lamb tartare, arctic char, venison and finished with a chocolate dessert. Also tried the meatballs that a friend ordered and they were also really good

Fantastic experience. Stopped in here after reservations at Nomad fell through. Lucky for us, we ended up having a top 5 meal in our lives. Highly recommend the venison, which was cooked perfectly. Great food, great atmosphere, and great staff. Couldn't ask for a better meal.

French style bistro with Swedish food.  Cod was good, pork fillet was delicious.  Tucked in a corner which was nice and intimate but service was a little lax.  Not a biggy in the end as the food made up for it.
