The food was absolutely delicious! I had a half portion of råbiff as a starter, and the Swedish meatballs were also amazing. I paired it with a local beer, which was a great match. I would definitely come here again for another meal!

The food was okay but the service was sub-standard. We had to wait close to one hour to get our meals. Granted it was a busy dinner service, but since you had to book it beforehand I expected that they were better prepared. For the price that they put on their menu and all the pretentiousness of "fine-dining", I expected at least a better service from the waiting staff and overall more enjoyable experience. Maybe this is also why Swedish cuisine is not very popular, even within the country.

It was just okay. The swedish meatballs were average and the desserts were partially frozen, leading me to believe they were not freshly prepared.

We just walked in for lunch here. Very nice restaurant to try some Swedish food. We came here because they had the herring platter which turned out to be very interesting and tasty. We ordered portion for 2 but more than enough to share among the 4 of us. Friendly and efficient services. Totally recommend.

The food here is absolutely amazing, the best food we've had in Sweden! We had the herring starter (for two) which includes pickled herring several ways plus potatoes, cheese and a crispbread, followed by the meatballs with mash, lingonberries and pickled cucumber. Absolutely delicious! The staff are friendly and welcoming and speak excellent English. If you want to try traditional Swedish food, this is the place to go. Utsökt!

EDIT: the food was so good here we went back the next day!
