Svartengrens - Stockholm Sverige

The hotel receptionist recommended, and he was right (thank you Frederick). One of the best stake houses in town. Only that this is much more than a stake house rich and original menu, each dish a delicious surprise. We ordered the butcher’s stake, it was tender, perfectly cooked and beautifully served. Highly recommended.

It’s a bit unexpected to say, of a seven course meal, that the absolute highlight was the fries, but it’s true. They’re so good I’d go back again just for the fries. The cocktail bar is also sublime. Very imaginative creations.

One of the meals of my life. I guess you have to love meat to get the most out of it, but each dish had real depth of flavour. Oddly the highlight was their langoustines with Jerusalem artichokes intense. Special shoutout to the drinks and charming staff. Not full when I went, unlike Adam and Albin where I ate the day after. I’m sure A&A will get a star, but unlike at Svartengrens I just wanted the succession of beautifully presented mouthfuls to end. Svartengrens just hit the mark.

We were deeply disappointed in our meal tonight. The special taste menu (725 sek) per person was rather small and tasteless. Alot of hype and talk! Further they serve beers in small type wine glasses On a positive note the staff were very professional.

Nice restaurant decor, and the reviews looked positive albeit most (in English) were a year old. The starters were good, wine was nice, the sides were basic, with the french fries heavily salted. This is a steakhouse which prides itself on the quality of the meat and unfortunately when I saw the 6 week dry aged steak (330g) which was at least 25% fat and the grizzle showing it didn 't bode well. It was also heavily salted which when combined with the french fries was not pleasant. Looks aside I tried three pieces from around the steak and whilst cooked to medium rare as I ordered was very tough, so tough I summoned the waitress and asked her to take it away. She did this and came back with what has to be one of the most bizarre lines, The chef says he can warm it some more for you if that would help? . Sadly nothing could have helped this steak becoming tender apart from putting it through a mincing machine a few times! I made it clear that stating something so ridiculous was not acceptable and to make sure it wasn 't on the bill. The others faired better in the group but they weren 't succulent by any means, just less tough than mine. When the bill came and it had two errors, my steak was priced and two extra sides were added. I pointed this out and was met with You still have to pay for the steak you didn 't eat That 's when I saw red, I explained that under no terms was I paying for it. I was happy to pay for everything else but not that or the two sides which we didn 't order or have. She disappeared and came back with a new bill and said to avoid an argument they would make an exception. My advice to the owner is to get some staff who actually know something about cooking and service. I 'd also advise that they eat a proper steak every now and again to understand what good tastes like. So overall I 'd have to say very disappointing and very expensive. Will not be returning.
