I agree with Georgia Gabrielle. The food was absolutely amazing BUT the head waiter (and some of the others) were pompous 'so and so's, who thought that they had the right to determine what we should drink. We had been out all day sightseeing in the rain, and arrived somewhat wet and cold. After removing our raincoats, we wanted to keep our jackets on to get warm but he insisted we remove them and that we would not need them once we drank some wine. How could he assume we would drink wine. For all he knew, we could have been recovering alcoholics. He then almost insisted we commence with a glass of champagne and when my husband asked for the drinks menu to study what was available, he kept pointing to the wine page. The 3 stars I have given for the food. The head waiter should be dismissed and perhaps they would receive a higher rating from me. Shame on you. Nowhere else in the world would this be tolerated. Certainly not in Australia and we have some of the best restaurants in the world. I would not recommend for anyone to go there unless you want to be made to feel inferior.
Very good food, very authentic interior design, very good service. We were 6 adults and 2 children. All of us were satisfied.
We had a terrible experience at this restaurant thanks to a head waiter that was extremely offensive to me and all the guests at our table. My family and some business colleagues sat down for the banquet paired with wines, and my 1 year old baby decided it was time for a sleep. She fell asleep in my arms in the lobby after 5 minutes and I put her in her stroller to return to the banquet. On my return I was REFUSED ENTRY by the head waiter who said that strollers were not permitted in the dining room and that having a sleeping baby in his dining room wasnt going to work for him. Shocked, I then said that I would take my meal in the foyer of which he refused to serve any food there either. My husband then came out and offered to eat quickly and swap with me at each course so that we could both eat our meals. Again the head waiter said that would not work for him and that we must just sit down and not move for the banquet . So I was left NO CHOICE but to sit out in the foyer whilst the kitchen continued to serve EVERY COURSE to my empty seat despite the fact they refused me entry so I couldnt eat it! Dreadful!When the head waiter was not looking some staff came to me and apologized for his actions and said that if they were in my position they would be extremely offended and they would never treat a customer so poorly. This confirmed that he was way out of line making such demands.So we wont be returning and we advise others not to support such a business with terrible attitudes towards its customers with children. We were not notified when we booked and requested a high chair that this was their policy and there is nothing in their website to say that this is how they do business. There are plenty of other fine establishments in Stockholm where you can get great service. Shame on you Operakllaren, what happened to the idea of giving your customers great service and making them happy?!
This review is about the Bakfickan as the main restaurant is closed over summer.The food was okay, nothing to write home about. If you want great Swedish meatballs go to Restaurant Pelikan, not here.For the food alone this would have been 3/5 but the service was so bad that I had to reduce the rating. Waiters were often walking past not taking orders or asking if you wanted anything else. When we then ordered the waiter had to come back an ask again about one of the mains (not a problem on its own) and then brought the food but forgot about our drinks. The drinks then finally came but were wrong. There is also a shared bread basket which was especially enjoyed by birds. While we were eating we often saw prospective guests waiting to be seated (there were empty tables) but ignored by staff and some of them left because of that.
If you are into food and not on a budget then you must book a table at the wonderful restaurant. From the moment you walk in you have a very special experience. The decor is stunning, the dinning room itself is intricately crafted with both wooden reliefs and beautifully naive pictures. The chief is a master, we had the tasting menu and experienced a really great meal. Not surprisingly they have an amazing wine cellar. So get some recommendations. Fabulous staff will look after you without any stuffy pretension.
