Cosy pub, pretty wide assortment of draft craft beer!  Friendly staff and nice food.
The beer was great, since it's not easy to find a place in the area offering such a nice range of draft craft IPA
We tried pizza and it was nice.
I will definitely come back again :)

I cannot rave enough about this place, it is truly a gem!  Let me explain.

The food was so good, I ordered two main courses, finished both (!!), and paired them with a sparkling bottle of Cava.

I had the Goulash soup, which was paired with three sliced of white bread (roll, not sandwich loaf). Everything single thing about this dish to the tiniest detail is AUTHENTIC.  Not just authentic to the dish itself, but in the traditional means if the fish.  The Goulash was of my personal favourite: the Bavarian variety.  I am drooling just thinking of the taste!

Next, I enjoyed a pork shoulder (broiled style, seared in the end prior to serving) that comes with traditional and authentic sauerkraut, as well as the most amazing potatoes - I am absolutely not kidding!  Not exaggerating: the potatoes were so tender, spongy with just the right chew, it could be compared with scallops (as in the seafood). The sauerkraut is in the traditional and authentic manner: warm and slightly soupy.  It was beautiful and the perfect match in taste and ingredients to the pork shoulder, potatoes and stone-ground, home-made mustard sauce.

So hungry and excited about the food, I forgot to take pics if the dishes, please forgive this faux pas.  I have not been this inspired, drunk-happy (no, not from the alcohol, I promise!) and unable to stop smiling since 20 years ago.  This may be a love letter to the restaurant and their superiorly talented chef, but they are worth the praise, success, business and raving reviews that they get!  Not only is the food amazing, the business ethic is THE ideal, service is excellent, rotating menu is as exciting as their specials, and their decor provides a  special charm to the overall aura of this restaurant.

With restaurants like this, Norrköping can be a hotspot for foodies like me.
