Unquestionably, one of the best meals I've ever had. And to say the star of the show was a bowl of tomato soup, sounds ridiculous, but it is transcendent! I will forever dream about this bowl of soup and hope to one day be able to return for one more spoonful. It was unlike any bowl of tomato soup I've ever had. It was light and refreshing, and filled my body and soul with utter joy!
I do love a grilled salad, and the grilled iceberg lettuce with baked cod did not disappoint. The two elements with what initially appeared to be potato wedges, turned out to be light and flaky pastry. I may have licked my plate!
The struva with duck liver was crispy and savory, creamy and delectable. We had to stop ourselves from having just one, they are that good.
The friendly staff, the warm environment, and the unique and tasty cocktails made for a perfect final meal in Stockholm. And it's one of the reasons I'll be returning just as soon as I can. If there had been a cookbook in English with that soup recipe inside, I would have certainly brought that home with me to try my best at recreating those flavors. Thank you Restaurant Hantverket, you will live in my DNA forever.

I highly recommend the Struva with duck liver, especially delightful when generously topped with Parmesan cheese! The thinly sliced raw beef with Jerusalem artichoke is also quite tasty and pairs well with the ground hazelnut. However, I would not recommend the ravioli as it doesn't match the authentic Italian style; the filling is bland, and the wrap is not al dente at all, and easily breaks apart. The pork belly is average—good, but nothing surprising.

We had a great dinner here. Service was amazing - really warm, attentive and personable. Soda pop cocktail also really nice (my husband says it's the best cocktail he's ever had). Food is artfully done and quite creative - standouts would be the green tomato soup (creamy while still light and full of flavour) and the thinly sliced beef with artichokes (so umami).

This was such an unforgettable culinary experience, a perfect combination of flavours, mixing of ingredients , coupled with exquisite presentation. We were a group of three who ordered various dishes, all shared which maximised our ability to try as many dishes as possible. Every dish WOW’ed us.
To top it off; attentive service and great ambiance. Great value for money too - the food is exquisite.

Hyped by the recommendations online and the great rating on Google I was really excited to try out this seemingly high class restaurant.
And yes, on the surface everything appeard to be perfect. The location is designed very stylishly and classy, the staff is well trained and accommodating, the cocktails are delicious (!) and the presentation of the food is very inviting.

But were it failed for me was the actual food itself, the flavours, the most important part about a restaurant.

As recommended I ordered 1 dish from each of the 4 groups (snack, starter, main, dessert).

As a snack I went for the signature hasselback potatoes. As mentioned the presentation was delightful and I had high hopes for these ones so you can imagine my disappointment when I bit into the first one and tasted... barely anything. The potatoes were cold (I guess that's a choice) hard and chewy and the only flavour came from the sour cream.
I thought maybe the chef just had a bad day but the few low-rating-reviews on here agree with me so I am not the only one.

Next the lemon cured mackerel.
I could kind of taste the idea behind the dish but even for me as a salt lover this dish was almost inedible because it was so salty. I know a lot of people who couldn't have finished it.

As my main I chose the pork chop which tasted alright but not special and the mix of different ingredients didn't work together very well for me.

The dessert was good but you can't really mess up ice cream and berries.

I really don't know if I caught a bad day, if my taste works differently from most reviewers or if everyone simply thinks they have to give 5 stars because it's a posh restaurant with fancy looking and sounding food.

Very disappointing and not worth the money (except for the cocktails!).

Overall a great experience.
Staff was helpful and friendly, and food was incredible.
All dishes are a little salty. I knew this before coming so I asked them to make everything less salty — the dishes ended up still being too salty for me. But that’s fine since I really liked the flavor.
My favorite dish is the Endive salad and the mackerel. Insanely good and lots of umami flavor!
Did not like the omelette, cheese is overpowering the egg and I couldn’t really taste the truffle:(

Great food generally but with some exceptions. Of all the recs, Ricotta dumplings were underwhelming and disappointing. I am almost confused as to why it is named dumpling. The texture is too soft, crumbly, the cheese looks unappetizing because the separation looks like the cheese is curdling. The broth is nice but not enough to offset the strange choice to call this dish a dumpling. It’s more like watery crumbly cheese. Not creative or daring. Safe choice to rely on the flavor of cheese. As for the star choices, Endive and black fried rice were fantastic. Amazing mix of flavors, well balanced. I would not assume it’s a Michelin star restaurant based on the B+ quality of service but I get how the service staff try hard to take their food and drinks seriously hence the standout dishes. It just doesn’t have the elegance or sophistication to reach for more. I would go back for the two dishes but maybe sit at a bar so I don’t need to awkwardly smile at mediocrity of service and attention.

A great dining experience. The food is all excellent and very well seasoned. (We almost found the chicory salad over-seasoned if anything). But otherwise everything was delicious. Highlights for us were the squid ink rice and the chocolate cake. The ricotta dumplings were also delicious. And the dishes were all unique.

Service was good. There's a nice vibe, small and intimate. And cocktails were great. Service was a bit slow on drinks.

Fantastic selection of wine, and great tasting cocktails. Food tastes better than it looks. We thought that lobster was on the small side but man, it was so rich in flavours - definitely try it.

Oysters were so fresh, my friend had ‘em all in a seating. The pannacotta with vinegar and honey was so interesting, didn’t look like much but every bite was infused with vanilla beans.

Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our visit to Estela. It’s a pretty small restaurant with very little space between tables. Acoustics are pretty bad, the place feels loud.
The savoury dishes were excellent, we particularly liked the endive salad. The chocolate dessert was on the heavy side.
