The Flying Elk

Excellent food and service! I don't understand how they can close down such a good place - it was probably the best pork schnitzel I had in Stockholm. Chicken wings with blue cheese sauce were also delicious. Nice range of local craft beers and goods wines👌 upstairs there is a nice cocktail bar for happy ending:) I strongly recommend this place

Worthy of a Michelin level dining experience without the exhorbant pricing. Definitely give the tasting menu a whirl of you can. Very attentive service, unlike many other restaurants in Sweden. A bit loud, and at times difficult to carry on a conversation Constantly busy, so make sure you book in advance. If all else fails, go to the back room and see if they have room. Corner Club is upstairs and a great after dinner, drink spot.

Without no reservation you might be lucky to get seated at least in the bar area where the same food is being served like in the restaurant area. However, it’s a bit more noisy and conversations are a challenge. Nevertheless, the food was delicious and tasty, service was friendly and helpful, wine has its price - what applies to Sweden in general.

Very cozy restaurant. I tried the freshly salted cucumbers with smetana and honey and for main course the pork schnitzel with wild mushrooms and potato salad. Everything was excellent, the gastropub has also a vast selection of beers. The blue haired waitress was really friendly and helpful. Will come to visit again next time when I am in Stockholm.

We didn’t have reservations but were able to get a table in the back (beer?) room. So many things on the menu sounded good we had trouble deciding. We started with the crispy pork rinds and gougeres. Both were good but not great. The pork rinds oddly lacked flavor. But the black pepper mayo was quite good. The gougeres had good flavor but somehow weren’t hot. The jalapeños added some nice spice. I went with the seared scallop. Wow was it amazing. So much flavor in one little dish. So rich and salty and creamy all at once. The pic doesn’t do it justice. Husband said the wings were really good. The umami sandwich (appetizer) was huge. Butter fried bread is genius. And oh so tasty. The service was pretty good (he forgot one item but it was for the best as we didn’t need it). Casual place with some very tasty gastropub food.

Amazing food with great attentive service in Gamla Stan. We had the degustation menu and it was awesome. Absolutely delicious. Also loved the Geranium and Grapefruit Gin and Tonic.

I used to eat at the flying elk al'most every second week until a couple of years ago. I loved the place, its cozy atmosphere and the impeccable food quality. I went back with high expectations but unfortunately they were not met, now a lot of things seem to have changed. I ordered a schnitzel and it was not even close to the quality that it used to be. The dish was well presented but the meat was somehow hard and the taste was not really good. It had a strange oily back-taste that I didn’t like at all, and the same were the fries that I ordered on the side. Shall I still give it a last chance and go back for a fish&chips (which used to be the best in town)?

Really excellent food with good wine pairings. Staff got balance between attentiveness and leave you alone just right. Didn’t have it but the tasting menu looked incredible. I had the turbot with lobster and caviar which was excellent.

Five stars because all of my friends said so. Sadly, I will never try their famous burger because they closed six months ago.

After reading mixed reviews my boyfriend and I were a little hesitant to check this place out, but I am so glad we decided to keep our reservations. Both of us were looking to try some fish in Stockholm and The Flying Elk's fish and chips did not disappoint! The cod is very well battered and fried perfectly, the fries are great as well, and it all comes with a great curry mayonnaise for dipping. You also get some house-made pickled vegetables that add a great acidity element to the meal! We both enjoyed a couple beers and walked away super satisfied. We originally had reservations for the main dining room, but wanted to check out their "back bar" after doing some research, and I would highly recommend it! The back bar is a little less formal, dimly lit, and gives off a good vibe for relaxing, enjoying a beer, and eating some tasty food. While The Flying Elk is tad pricey I think it's a worth a stop if you're visiting Stockholm!

Having eaten at Michelin 3* Frantzén some thirty hours prior, a study in refinement rarely matched anywhere in worldwide, it was for the first of two dinners that a table was reserved at The Flying Elk, Björn Frantzén's "Gastropub" yet another space like those from Ramsay and Keller that looks to cash in on its chef's name without offering good value. Located in Gamla Stan mere blocks from the original Frantzén but visibly larger in layout, a single floor offering both indoor and outside seating facing water, it was immediately on time at 17h00 that guests approached the hostess stand, indoor seating requested given the sun's angle but neither windows nor shades offering much protection from rays that had already heated the room past temperatures comfortable for dining. Offering traditional Scandinavian comfort Foods crafted to Björn's standards and Cook Book, both it and one dedicated to his daughter with IDDM available for purchase or perusal, it was immediately upon seating that Staff informed diners that Fish and Chips were not available this evening, the Swedish Meatballs featured on a Kids Menu also probably something most Adults will pass on as they cost 10 SEK per year on the planet. Dividing the offerings into Snacks, Starters, Mains, Classics and Desserts, a Tasting Menu dogmatically offered only to the whole table even if other diners are willing to match course-for-course a la carte at higher cost, it was not long after ordering that sweet and spicy Cheese Puffs landed alongside pricy Pork Rinds, the ~10 SEK per bite cost about 10x what such things cost minus benign Chipotle Dip in Mexico or even the United States. Charging approximately 200 SEK per Appetizer, luxury ingredients combined with real estate costs and accolades something one must accept to dine at The Flying Elk, it was after requesting more water but before opting to move out of the sun that potted King Crab beneath Citrus Hollandaise and Carrots was joined by "Signature" Scallops, a decidedly decadent dish justifying such a designation with fluffy Eggs and Truffles swimming in Butter at the base and crispy Potatoes on top. Now resituated, a self-made choice that did not seem to sit well with the waitress, it was on recommendations that Schnitzel was sharable that just one "Main" was requested, 295 SEK justified by thinly pounded Veal with a crisp yet oilless Crust plus briny Butter, Roasted Potatoes and traditional Red Wine Sauce. Using the Anchovy Butter liberally on both the roasted Spuds and triple-cooked Fries that even Heston Bumenthal would be happy with it was after deciding to purchase a signed copy of "Lagar mat for sugna diabetiker och annat folk" that sweet tooths were indulged, Frantzén's Sticky Toffee Pudding not as moist or luxurious as many found in England but both the Eton Mess and seasonal Rhubarb Crumble with a sidecar of Vanilla Custard setting a high standard in terms of flavor, texture and presentation.

Superb lunch. Frantzièn is one of Stockholm's premier chefs to experience and wanted to try the main resto on my last visit but couldn't get a reservation. Like Noma in Copenhagen, Frantzièn is booked for months at a time. Next day, I found his gastropub, the Flying Elk. Here you can sample the cuisine of Stockholm's favorite chef. The space is warm, open windows in summer; it's next to the water-- an optimal space to enjoy the breeze while getting a bite to eat, sample brews, an Aquavit and maybe another dish. And I did just that. For starters I had the Pan fried scallops, truffled scrambled eggs, smoked brown butter, pomme paille, covered with bonito style shaved truffles. Get this. I could have had 3 of these dishes easily. I think this is perfection of sea and earth with layer upon layer of earth manna: scrambled eggs with truffles, brown butter, the thinnest crisp potatoes and to add insult to the experience shaved tuffles on top. The dish wants you think it's Japanese, it's not...but so beautifully earthy, beautifully tasty and beautifully satisfying. My next dish the Veal Schnitzel Björn Frantzén: veal with triple cooked fries, roasted anchovy butter, red wine jus and sorrel salad was a symphony of taste contrasts: the panko-crisp texture of the veal with red wine jus (grapey delicious sauce albeit slightly overcooked cutlet), roasted anchovy butter with triple cooked fries (crisp into unctuous browned butter with a hint of anchovy) and the nicely tart (and teasingly pungent) sorrel salad. For dessert: "Eton Mess" Vanilla ice cream w/ raspberries & pink pepper meringue, strawberry & hibiscus mousse scented with roses . This was my fave dessert this trip. It's not just vanilla ice cream, it's amazingly well made silky yet subtle vanilla ice cream, that framed the summer raspberries; you scoop the strawberry/hibiscus mousse with a slightly pungent pepper meringue, the complex crumbles on your palate and you swear you've never had anything like this. The flower petals and dried raspberries on top of this "mess" sealed this dish for me as one my favorite desserts ever. A sauterne and a coffee later, the day seemed perfect. I loved this dish so that on one of my other visits to Gamla Stan, I ordered it to go, to seal the flavors in my memory as we strolled through the cobbled streets of this magnificent city, giddy. Loved it. Coming back. Visits: 2 Tip: Come hungry.

Really enjoyed The Flying Elk, despite the location (not a huge fan of Gamla Stan: choked with tourists). The restaurant is bright & unassuming, the staff really friendly & attentive, & the menu is Franzèn so ya know it'll be good. It didn't disappoint. We went VERY early (pre-concert dinner), which may or may not make a difference to experience. We had the Gougeres & truffle popcorn to share as starters, I thought the Gougeres were brilliant, but while the popcorn was fine (& the others liked it a lot) i am a heathen and popcorn isn't giant on my love-list. For mains, I had the spicy burger which was terrific. The salmon looked amazing, but my friend scarfed it before I could try it. The wine was recommended, & I didn't like the first Cote du Rhone, which was immediately swapped out for a Nebbiolo, which was delicious. If you're in Gamla Stan & want bistro - as opposed to, say, Den Gyldene Freden - go. It was really good.

In terms of our expectations, they were pretty high for The Flying Elk. The menu reminded us of a lot of the modern American restaurants that we love at home with a Swedish twist. And with a top Swedish chef at the helm, we were psyched. Our experience started off a little strange when we asked about gluten-free options. For being one of the highest-end restaurants we dined in in Sweden, I was shocked by the lack of knowledge on the part of the staff about what on the menu was or could be made gluten-free. It was the only time in Sweden I felt truly nervous that my dietary restrictions would be a problem. The wine and beer selections were great, so no complaints there, but our main entrees were just so so. My "Roasted duck from Navarra with onion crème & deep fried sage" was very pretty to look at but way too salty. Any flavors were just overpowered by sodium. And the cut of the duck breast wasn't as high of a quality as I could have expected. My better half had the "Fillet of Iberico pork, wild mushrooms & crispy onions on toast," and he was more satisfied than I was, but not overly enthusiastic. He finished with the "Pancake with cloudberry and vanilla ice cream" (mostly we love the cloudberry jam from Ikea) that looked beautiful - wish I could have tried it. I can't imagine anyone having a bad meal at The Flying Elk, but for us, it just wasn't as special as we could have hoped for.

Came here with a massive appetite after a day walking around Stockholm and didn't leave disappointed. The beer menu was good (I particularly enjoyed the locally-brewed Sleepy Bulldog Pale Ale) and the food was excellent. I got the tasty fried pork rinds with creamy chipotle sauce and the absolutely delicious "Spice Girl" burger with fries. Staff was very friendly and accommodating -- the main restaurant was completely booked for the night but they quickly found a place for me in the pub area. If you're looking for great meal in a welcoming atmosphere that isn't outrageously expensive, I'd recommend checking out the Flying Elk.

This place is good! We actually are in the back bar area as we didn't plan ahead for reservations. Chicken wings-soooo good and I don't even like wings. I just wish there was more. The blue cheese flavor and buffalo mixed was fantastic Gouda puffs delicious but again, kind of small Burger was great! Probably one of the top 5 in my life and I'm a burger whore Chicken sandwich was good but my least favorite compared to everything else. It just didn't pack the flavor like everything else.

Great atmosphere! Wonderful food. In the older part of Stockholm and just across from the subway station. As with all good "foodie" places in Stockholm, really great waiters, very knowledgeable about the food and drinks and very good service.

The burger her came highly recommended by a friend. Apparently this place was opened by a two star Michelin chef. I came during lunch and tried the tartare and the burger with the triple fried fries. tartare - delicious burger - juicy with fluffy bun and the right amount of cheese. I approve! triple fried fries - wow. these taste like buttery buttery croissants, not fries. They are super savory and while delicious, I'm glad I did not get my own full order. Recommend checking out the burger and then heading off to the free walking tour next door afterwards!

I kept hearing about the Iron Lady, the Flying Elk's ode to the burger. Ive come to find that Stockholm is a bit burger crazy and they're everywhere. Unfortunately I missed the correct day and did not get to see this legend. However The place is way bigger than I thought it'd be. Large dining areas, a beer bar...nooks all over the place. Came in for a quick drink before having to head off to the hotel. If you pay attention this is another one of Bjorn Frantzen's establishments and you'll often finding him running through checking on how things are going...

Cute spot located in Old Town. They had a decent variety of gin cocktails on their menu as well as other drinks. I ordered the fish and chips which was pretty great, and the french fries basically were like mashed potatoes in the center which made them really good! The staff were friendly and accomodating.

I wouldn't really call this a pub no matter how much gastro you put in. This is more like a fancy restaurant. Well, I didn't try the food just the beer. And I almost fell off my chair when I was served a Bulldog in a glass of LESS than 40 cls at a amazing 60 SEK!! OMG! Anyhow, we came here around 5 on a Thursday evening and it was queuing up for tables already. We waited in line but could then go straight to the bar/pub to the left a bit further in. The bar itself is really small. There's a table for eating guests in the inner room as well. The food might be good but don't go here for just the beer. Not worth it. Nothing special about the bar section. They accept AMEX.

We visited the Flying Elk this evening with a group of ten people. We had a good table, and the waiters were attent and nice. Still, my score is low because I didn't like the food. - I tried some chicken wings, but didn't like the taste of them. - I tried some kind of chips, and while others of the group did like them, I personally didn't. - There was some truffle popcorn: I didn't like that. - My main course was the Arctic fish. It looked nice and was well prepared. But I discovered this wasn't my cup of tea: I didn't like it that much. Ok, too bad for me, but the rest of the table had similar experiences: - A lot of people were complaining about how salty all the food was. Some people didn't finish their dishes because of that. - One person almost had to puke at the toilet, but prevented that by going outside and get some fresh air. - I personally didn't trust the food anymore, so I didn't order any desert. But the people who did, complained about it. One person ordered ice cream, but due to the thick consistency she didn't like it, and passed it on until the third person trying it liked it enough to finish it. Yes, the portions are small, but that's something you know when you go to an expensive restaurant: you have to take a whole menu to be properly filled, and not just order a main dish. Since we had eten well at a food court earlier, the main course was enough. But one person ordering a schnitzel was really surprised that there were no side dishes with it: she just got the schnitzel, and that's it. Be aware of that when you order. All in all the atmosphere and the staff were good, but the one thing that this is ultimately is about, the food, wasn't to our liking, especially for this price.

All I can speak to is happy hour on the patio but in this area it's seemingly hard to find a local spot to drink and snack on a patio and this was perfect. The food I did get was really great - very creative and quality, the drinks though were awesome. They had some G&Ts that I never would have imagined!

Recommended by our local friend, and it was a great choice. It will become a Michelin stared restaurant later this year and it definitely deserves to be. We had the tasting menu and it was amazing. Service was very good too.

I've eaten here twice in the past two years of coming to Stockholm. The food here is solid good. First time I came, I had the kalix löjröm förätter and the veal wienerschnitzel. Was just delicious. But especially the kalix löjröm which was served on a beautiful butter toast and whipped bits of butter. Simple but amazing. Second time, I ordered the kalix löjröm förätter and fish and chips for brunch. OMG - the chips were addictive and the fish was battered so sinfully I had to stop myself from eating all the crunchy, fatty, deep fried batter. The lightness and buttery nature of the cod inside was just perfect. I will come back again on my next visit to this beautiful city.

Nice atmosphere with interesting food. Some of the staff weren't very friendly, so that's a bummer. Great place for a date!

I was kind of surprised by the Yelp rating here, but after reading reviews and thinking back to my visit, I am not so surprised anymore. My friend (who was visiting Sweden from the US) and I decided to pop in for "Frunch". She had the foie gras macaron, which was totally precious and she LOVED IT, but it is, as expected, a bit overpriced. It's 45kr. For one. One whole macaron, that really, should be called a mini macaron as it was only maybe 3-4cm across. We both had the cougeres and they were tasty. I ordered the Umami sandwich; confit lamb, deep-fried onions, it was really, really, really good. So good I can still imagine how it smelled. I would definitely eat it again. The cocktail menu was great and the drinks we ordered matched our expectations for sure. That being said, I was really put off by the service, it felt SUPER inattentive. It was busy, but not overwhelmingly so; I couldn't understand why we basically had to flag someone down to get a refill on our water. It took FOREVER just to get menus and order and then once we were served it's like, to be honest, we probably could have dined and ditched. Someone was sitting at the table next to ours and we got the impression it was someone marginally famous. Like, in a douchey reality tv kind of way. Everyone that worked in the restaurant came up to their table to chat, meanwhile we waited forever just to get some goddamned water. It would have been a perfectly lovely lunch otherwise, but it just felt hampered by the lack of service in light of the never-ending parade of staff visits to our neighbor's table. I have a feeling that there are much better places to eat with better service at similar price points in the neighborhood and next time I'm in town, I'll probably try my luck elsewhere.

Loved it! Had 2 starters and 2 mains. The scallops were delicious in the sauce. The tartar was tasty. The cod was perfectly seasoned. The hollandaise was not necessary except that it was so delicious with a bit of citrus. The other fish fish was phenomenal as well. We would definitely come back. Friendly service too

I like gastropubs, and The Flying Elk is a really good gastropub. Excellent food and great wine to acceptable prices. Although there is only one Flying Elk (as far as I know), there is something of a franchise feeling to this place; everything seems standardized, somehow.

Between a 3 and a 4. Good but not great. A little too expensive for what you get elsewhere in the area. I had a burger which was good (they're better at barrels&burgers on stora nygatan). The vegetarians in the group we're pretty happy. The dessert (Eaton mess) was a treat. You get a good meal but there are better restaurants in the area.

We had dinner for 4 - service was wonderful! Fish and chips were amazing, burgers, pasta, chips appetizers and very good ice cream and sorbet

Really cool blend of Modern Nordic Cuisine meets gastropub. Kind of like The Harcourt in London, but better. Great beers

Ox tail was great! Good wine selection too. Even their vegetarian dishes were good. Great little gem in old town

Came here for dinner my first night in Stockholm. The food was fantastic- I had the Reuben burger which was done really nicely. The fries came with a garlic aioli which was out of this world good. My dining companions had the short rib stroganoff and the artichoke dish with egg and they said both dishes were phenomenal. They had a great selection of beer, wine and cocktails. I was impressed and left full. I would definitely recommend a visit here!

The Flying Elk is one of my favorite restaurants. The restaurant is really beautifully decorated and the food is beautifully presented. I travel quite often to Stockholm and a lunch or dinner at The Flying Elk is always a priority. I have had among my absolute best burger experiences here with 'The Iron Lady Burger' and 'The smoky Pistol Pete burger'. Two completely sublime burgers that are definitely among my favorites. Prices are a bit high, but the food is definitely worth it. Anything negative? Only slightly. The service used to be quite good, but I have experienced a little unfriendly staff occasionally. At the same time there is a change in the menu extremely often. This may be good, but a bit annoying if it happens too often. All in all, this is however a fantastic restaurant with a lot of good food, beautiful surroundings, but also a relaxed atmosphere.

I was traveling in Stockholm for a conference and my meal charges were covered by work, so I decided to try this nice restaurant that is normally a little above my food budget. The main restaurant area was fully booked so my friend and I went to the back area which serves the same menu. We had a great experience there! The waiter was so incredibly nice and helpful in giving us suggestions for beers, wines, and main courses. I ordered the fish and chips and was very happy to find out that they actually use cod for the dish! Overall, very tasty food and great service!

Totally amazing high end pubfood with a twist. I've only been here twice but would for sure come back, just for the great beer selection and the very helpful staff. There are for sure still things on the menus I wanna try...

Had the burger that's only available on Sundays. + Nice venue, cool decorations + Good service + Great fries + Burger was good but... - Surprise spicy burger laced with horseradish (I'm not a fan of surprise spicy but know now, surely awesome if you're a fan of spicy stuff) - Not blown away & not sure it lives up to "gastropub" description It's a 7/10 but can do no more than 3/5 :)

I was visiting Stockholm from the U.S. and wanted to try some good local food with local beers. After searching TripAdvisor and Yelp, I decided to try The Flying Elk. My hubby ordered the Grilled Wolf fish because Wolf fish sounded interesting. It turned out to be a very nice piece of fish over stewed vegetables and a soup-like sauce. It was very moist as if it was steamed rather than grilled. We were expecting more of a charred/grilled exterior so the moisture was a little unexpected but it still tasted good. I order the Beef & Chicken pie topped with foie gras mousse. I'm from California, which has banned foie gras, so I try to get it any opportunity I can. Once again the dish came out looking nothing like I expected but it tasted good. The pie filling was hearty and tasted a bit like a beef meatloaf. The foie gras mousse had a nice foie gras flavor and complemented the beef flavor very well. However, overall the texture of the dish was mushy. They had beers on tap as well as bottled. But because The Flying Elk was more of a British pub than a Swedish bar, there weren't that many local beers. I chose one of the few local brews they had on tap and it was good (I forget the name). Be warned that in general food and beers in Stockholm is expensive and this was no exception. I think the pint of beer alone was about $15. The Flying Elk was good but I didn't think this place stood out. For that price, I rather go to an establishment that offered more local dishes.

AWESOME!!!! We ate downstairs in the cozy, more casual part of the restaurant that has the same menu. The pork filet on toast points was to die for and the sticky pudding dessert had fabulous mixture of different tastes...toffee, butterscotch, hazelnuts. So so yummy!!! Very fortunate we saw the reviews and came here.

Lay off the truffle oil. The chef is a one trick pony and that trick is truffle oil. It's gross, it's outdated and it's a short cut to actual culinary creativity. I had the veal neck which is supposedly cooked for 24 hours. It was extremely dry. My dad like his burger. But, it's a burger.

My husband and I tried this restaurant on the recommendation of our concierge at the Hotel Nobis. We were not disappointed! We weren't that hungry so we decided to just split the Truffle Mac and Cheese and the Fish and Chips. The truffle mac and cheese was probably the best I have had. Unfortunately the portion size was a bit ridiculous. It was basically in the size of a dollhouse dish. Flavors were great though, I just wish they had a normal sized portion of it though. The fish and chips were a way better portion size though and the everything was cooked quite nicely. The flavors were spot on and it filled us up. The pea guacamole was interesting with the minty flavor, I can't say it was my favorite thing on the plate, but it was worth a try. Overall its a cool spot (definitely sit in the lounge area) and I would recommend it for sure!

I would say get the burger if you want to check this place out. That is what we noticed most of the patrons order, so we ordered and enjoyed it, maybe even my top best burgers. We also got the veal schnitzel to try. It was okay. The red wine sauce that was poured on top was the best part, but it shouldn't have been the main taste of flavor. I would not recommend getting this dish.

Favorite restaurant in Stockholm for me. Not sure why the reviews are only 3.5, but I'm fairly tough with food and this was amazing. We had the 6/7 course tasting menu with wine and beer pairings, and it blew me away. Portions were perfect, tastes for each course fit nicly together and the presentation was very artsy, tough to pull off. Atmsphere could use a little work, it kind of looks and feels like a gastropub when you walk in, but the food was great. They have this amazing dessert beer, which almost ends up tasting like a butter scotch beer, which doesn't sound great, but trust me its perfecto!

I feel so strongly about elements of this place, that it's brought me out of Yelp hibernation (Yelp-ernation?). First, I am not a fan of these ginormous, sprawling Stockholm restaurants where every night's like a wedding reception and there are multiple bars and dining rooms tucked under the same roof. If you want to open a bar, open a bar. Why do I have to walk through a giant restaurant to get to it? Yeah, sure the vibe is different in each of the elements within the establishment, but combined it makes for a Disney-esque feel--a bunch of themed rooms. Want a beer? Go to the middle beer bar! A cocktail? Take it upstairs to the corner cocktail bar! Wine? There's a wine bar too, bien sur! This is all in addition to the main dining room. I have now experienced three of the four elements of the Flying Elk, and the rundown is such: Main dining room: very interesting menu, but there was a disturbing smell (a little something chemical, a little something bodily) that smacked us in the face upon entry and made us wonder whether we should stick around and risk finding its source. We did stay, and our uninvited dinner guest was a silent but assertive presence throughout the meal. Yuck. Then, the service was the pits. Our waiter could NOT be bothered. Well, he missed out on an extra round of drinks... wait, so did we. The s-l-o-w service was extra-apparent due to the lack of bread. If you're going to have terrible service, at least have your crew drop a basket of some gratis baked goods on the table. It takes virtually no time and makes your "guests" much less cranky that they are being ignored. As for the food, we took the Fish and Chips, which was pretty meh. The best part was the mushy peas. Also tried the oxbringa, which was OK. The presentation was hip and nice, and the food was fine. Nothing special. And I had the salad, which was over-over-over dressed. The elements of the salad (green beans, potatoes, smoked whitefish) were great, but half the amount of dressing would have sufficed. Cocktail corner: this is the best part! Come in the separate entrance, have a burger and a cocktail, and pretend you're not in a themed room of a giant establishment. Because the cocktail bar on its own is enough. The cocktails are beautifully crafted and the menu is interesting and the burgers are good. The only "beef" here is the price. The burgers are expensive (180 kr, I believe) AND if you want fries with your burger (duh.), you have to pay for them. Gaston wine bar: this is the part that spurred me to get reviewin' again. I will start with a big "SERIOUSLY?!?" Is this place for real? I have NEVER seen prices so overblown for wine by the glass. I support your French-leaning wine list, but I am no sucker. Everywhere else in the world, things are becoming more egalitarian--you can have amazing wine all over Paris for less than 1/3 of the cost of ONE glass at Gaston. I think the cheapest glass I could find was 139 kr (besides the house muscadet, which was 90-something, I believe), but most were well in the 200 kr range. I repeat, SERIOUSLY?! And the beer was no bargain, either. 57 kr for a Demory? Glad you sell it, but still--not cool. I realize we are not in France, but with those prices it feels like you are really rubbing it in. When will Stockholm take a cue from vibrant cities like Paris or San Francisco where you can enjoy great wine and food in small restos or wine bars at prices that are not overblown? I think they must exist here, but they are definitely too rare. And the Flying Elk establishment makes this all too apparent.

Excellent meal and ambiance! I had the vegetarian lunch special- included a nice portion and soup. My husband had the fish lunch and yummy dessert. Great beer selection, very clean, and family friendly!

I came here for dinner after hearing that this was a nice place to go in the old town in Stockholm. The staff was really friendly and the food was delicious. I had the beet salad and it was so good I almost wish I had had it as a main course. I then had the schnitzel and it was good. Not as good as my starter, but still tasty. Cozy atmosphere. Would come again.

This place was a little pricier than what I was expecting, but the food was absolutely heaven. We sat in this little back section below a stairwell that said "the Corner club" and "closed". There was a restaurant in the front main area that I think might have been different than where we sat. I'm not sure, it was a little confusing. We both picked pretty tame dishes compared to the more adventurous options on the menu. The fish and chips were amazeballs! The best i've ever had! My friend's sandwich was amazing too! He had a BLT on ciabatta bread with pork belly instead of the bacon!!! You can imagine. His face looked like he had checked out and gone to some place with fluffy bunnies and rainbows when he put it in his mouth. LOL! Yum yum yum YUM YUM YUM!

Really bad. Service was terrible, portions were shockingly small and we paid an obscene amount - 100 USD for two mains and a starter. Stay away

This place is just fantastic. There were no seats in the restaurant section, so we went in the back to the pub bit (called the Back Bar)- and, frankly, that's the way to go. Phenomenal service from the brothers, great beers (including an Indian Pale Lager - an IPL - that was just incredible) and super interesting food. Cheddar-filled Gougères (little balls) with Linden honey, fennel seeds & black Sarawak pepper (sort of like fried balls with really good mac n cheese sauce in them); Sanda hönseri - a casserole of cabbage, chanterelles and Karl-Johan mushrooms, pickled onions, celeriac, nutmeg and creamed egg (might be odd-sounding but it was delicious) and I added the truffle as well; cod with foie gras, red wine jûs, tarragon oil, Jerusalem artichoke puree and a split pea & turnip compote; and some kind of salad that was a joy to eat. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone spending some time in Stockholm.

A reasonable alternative to Frantzen. Try truffle mushroom and appetizing macaroon starter. Good ambience, good location and great staff. My kids were sleeping and they were happy to accommodate the strollers.

they try to do grande cuisine but it is not testing menu just average nothing great only the bill... don t understand why the guide michelin recommend it !!!!! service just ok

The food was good (the cod was actually very, very nice) but overpriced. And as always ridiculously inflated prices on the beverage. 102 SEk for a De Molen beer that costs 28 SEK liquor store.
