Outstanding food and ambiance. Well restored with a beautiful chandelier centerpiece.

FOOD:

🔸️ KÖTT, KÅL, DRAGON
Kött från Bernhardssons med potatisterrin, lökconfit, dagonmajonnäs, sauterad kål samt rödvinssås
👍👍👍👍

- We had entrecote the evening we visited. It is one of the best that I have eaten in Scandinavian. The meat done rare is red, deep with fresh flavours, so melt-in-the-mouth tender, warm, juicy but not bloody.

A light sprinkling of salt would have sufficed for the meat but the amount used chef was too heavy when paired with the rich red wine sauce.

Otherwise, the dish was a harmony of potato terrine which was crisp on top with layered slices of baked potatoes, onion confit, sauteed winter cabbage and dragon flavoured mayonnaise.

🔸️ KYRKANS HAMBURGARE
200 g smashed burger med tomat, cheddarost, jalapenomajonnäs, baconströssel, silverlök & saltgurka. Serveras med coleslaw, picklad rödlök & pommes frites
👍👍👍👍👍

- This deluxe luxury burger is a meat lover's dream. Everything done right from the fresh, delicious mince to the cheddar, bacon, onions, sliced gherkin, pickled onions and the perfect shoe strings fries.

🔸️ APELSIN, VANILJ, CHOKLAD
👍👍👍
- This was alright as a finisher. A sweet orange flavoured tart base, caramel, chocolate sauce, roasted hazelnuts and dried slice of sweeted orange.

A cool place involving an old church built in 1902 converted to a restaurant in 2016. There is plenty of eye candy in the restaurant,  including a large chandelier and pipe organ. The food is especially complimentary to this neat restaurant.  The pork schnitzel with red wine sauce was out of this world. A gem in Sandviken.
