"Delicious food! Rhubarb coctail is one of the best one I have ever had.
Recommended! ❤️"
Merilin Jürine
"I recently had dinner at that restaurant where I had a very pleasant experience. The welcome was warm, and the service was both friendly and attentive, which made the evening enjoyable.
The menu was well thought out, and the dishes were flavorful. As a starter, I had pan-seared scallop with roe, romanesco, and butter sauce. The flavors were well-balanced, and the cooking was perfectly done.
For the main course, the grilled ling with cooked salsify was well-prepared and highlighted the quality of the ingredients.
To finish on a sweet note, dessert was banana ice cream with chocolate mousse. It was a nice combination of flavors and textures.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal, with carefully prepared dishes and attentive service. A great place to try!"

"With a bill of 490sek per pax, it proved an economical choice. The ice cream dessert was the best I've ever tasted, Love the croquette.
Areas for improvement: the artichoke mousse smell weird, the pork loin had a strong pork smell."
