“ Great food and atmosphere, but a special thanks to the lady responsible for the reception (Aug 5th night). She saw I was a tourist interested in the local gastronomy, and she offered me a great attention suggesting dishes, explaining the origin of each item in the plate, from which part of Sweden they are, etc. Persons like her turn out dinner into an unforgettable experience. ”
“ Good option to try local Sweedish dishes. Welcoming is very warm and the interior is characteristic that makes you feel you are in professional place. We have tried Sweedish meatball, deer meat, and red wine. Finished with creme brulee which was really very good! The prices might be a bit pricey but worth it. ”
“ We came with the tour and it was fantastic! I had mixed luck with the pickled herring liking two of the three but overall really enjoyed the food. Being pescatarian, we didn’t eat the Swedish meatballs but they got rave reviews for our other tour members. The chef made us mushroom and pomegranate dumplings that were fantastic! The IPAs were delightful and very different. Out server was friendly and so accommodating- I would definitely come back! ”
