"Oh my. This is a Guide Michelin restaurant with a really friendly feeling to it! I loved the service as much as the food! It's the kind of place where you think you go once - and then you actually want to go the next day again. I will definetely return! We had the 4 course meal and it's def. enough food to get full from it! However would love to try a larger one next time!"

"Excellent hospitality by the staff, superb wines and lovely food! The fallow deer and its belongings that came with the dish was really wonderful from start to finish, the meat just melted away in the mouth. All was accompanied by excellent wines that the sommelier picked out for each dish. There was also a really interesting appetizer in the beginning with carrots in small squares lying in a pure with a half-frozen herb that was milled on top, very delightful. The warm bread that was served was excellent also! If you have the opportunity to visit Thörnströms Kök, you should definitely go for it!"

"Awesome Michelin * food with amazing hospitality and a very knowledgeable staff. The breads were so good I finished the whole lot of them and Evina (I think) was quick to bring more."
