Lovely spot to get authentic Swedish food. Had several locals recommend we visit this place. Great food, sat in the patio and enjoyed views of the park across the street.

To me this is the best restaurant to taste good swedish food. Over the years it hasn't lost quality, and everything is delicious and very well presented.
This time we ordered meatballs and cod. It was fantastic.

One of the oldest restaurants in Stockholm steeped in history, a place where the media used to frequent, back in the day. The food is traditional Swedish food, and its done very well. The staff are great too. We had a selection of dishes including the salmon, meatballs, steak tartare and they were all served to a high standard.

Before I came, this was recommended (by Swedish). When I sat on the plane, the ladies next to me (Swedish) also recommended this place. They said it was a pub. I came by with a friend/ someone I met on the day. We didn't have reservations, but they had a table available. Their English and Swedish are good. My friend was learning Swedish, idk his ability, but they responded back nicely and confirmed it in English.

Our coats were taken. It is 20kr per person (which we didn't know until paying the bill). I do feel that I should have been told as a foreigner, but it is a common thing in Sweden, whereas some places would purposely charge for free things if I speak English vs. A friend speaking Swedish. I believe coats are not allowed inside. It was cold, and then I got moved to another table where it was warmer as they couldn't reach the window. Later, I asked if I could just wear my coat, so then they gave me a wool blanket and had someone tall to close the window. I've travelled/ lived in 30 countries, and only one of them will change the restaurant temperature according to a customer, so I was surprised that this one place did that since the other restaurants in Sweden don't do that. They literally say no so people would just wear coats.

When we sat down, the menu was explained well in English. We got the Char and the Swedish Meatballs, plus some drinks. Every restaurant I have been to so far (1 week) only has 1 tiny toilet, which were more expensive/ high-end restaurants (other than one place). This place has 2 cubicles available and is well maintained.

The food was really good. It's cheaper and tastes better than all the other places I had to reserve. We also got desserts afterwards. The waiter always came back over (circulating the room) to make sure everyone was okay, refilling water if needed, etc. The fish is unique to the North, so having it available here to try without travelling and at this price was decent.

The only thing that wasn't as good was the party next to us, but there is no control over that. Eventually, they left, so it was fine.

At 00:21, I was informed for last call (drinks), so I got the bill and paid. They close at 1am so we left before that. Food ends around 11 pm. Most of Sweden closes really early, so this is a great option to visit for dinner since they're open. All our questions were answered accurately, and if they weren't sure, they would go check before informing answers.

Bill can be paid separately. We just 50/50 as it was probably easier, but I'm sure they could have customised it to each person's purchase. Upon leaving, we got our coats, and the door was opened for us. At the door, there are 2 gentlemen who stood there (for the entire night taking coats and keeping them safe). By the time we left, it was just 1 man left. So actually 20kr is nothing for such service. I think we arrived around 8-9 and left around 00:40, so all the staff would be on their feet all day no matter which role they had.

They work really work, very polite, and we are very impressed with their service. I'm glad I came to visit and brought someone along. He will bring his family when they visit. It is no wonder why so many people talk so highly about the pub. It really didn't feel like a pub...

It was the best restaurant I've been to so far in Stockholm over the week, and that's with me visiting "fancier" and more expensive places, too. I wish I had visited this place first. I've let my Swedish friends and non Swedish friends know so that they can have good quality food, service, and prices. My friend made a video, which I've attached, and I haven't gotten to mine yet.

Extremely happy. Thank you.

Only thing is, it's a corner space. The entrance was hard to find/ confusing... the signs were not well. E.g. pub, grill, restaurant... which door? What's the difference? We had to ask when we went in one of the doors after checking the entire corner.

I went for dinner with a friend. We made a reservation a few days before, just to make sure. There were many locals eating here so we knew it must be good. They had some small tables outside. Many people were sitting there just drinking a beer. The interior was very cute. The food was tasty, specially the mash potatoes from the meatball dish. The portions were a good size.
The only thing I didn’t like is that the bathroom has too many air fresheners that went I went to wash my hands, my head started hurting because the smell was so strong.

One of my favourites in Stockholm. A classic and a staple for good Swedish food. Great old recipes, love the old school plating and presentation, waitstaff are always lovely and the restaurant & bar is an elegant time piece. A must if you’re out and about Vasastan, or simply just want a good meal.

If you want to look for such retro feeling with delicious foods to be served, then this place is your choice, no doubt! The foods were amazing and the waiters and waitresses were very kind and helpful. I tried the wallenbergare and it was yummy. If you want to get the table, better to book it in advance and please note that you will need to pay more for storing your jacket or coat during the cold time.

Confusing operating hours. Online it said they’re closed after 2:30 PM, but was able to book a table for 3 PM. From the sidewalk, when we arrived it looked closed. Good thing I saw people leaving and entering, and seems they had a bar area for dining hours for those eating at odd hours (not lunch or dinner). There was no receptionist so I had to call a female server and asked her if they were open and she looked at me funny.

Anyway, finally sat down with my family. Our server was great (better than the one I asked).

Interiors feels like you are transported back to olden times. Predominantly wood, with thick carpets and old photos on the walls.

The food was not good. Steak was tough and hard to eat. The meatballs had an aftertaste that, upon eating more of the meatballs, was slightly sickening. I had to douse them in lingonberries to mask the gamey taste. I guess that’s traditional meatball taste in Sweden? I wasn’t a fan.

The potato puree was good though.

For the price, you are better off eating somewhere else. We paid around 1,200 SEK for 3 adults (and a kid).

Thankfully, the male server, as I said, was good that he suggested a smaller portion (kiddie meal) for the meatballs for our kid. Which was more than enough, considering we didn’t like how it tasted.
