Grodan Grev Ture

A classic venue on a backalley to Stureplan where you can grab a dinner, drink or just a snack while chatting.
Can be crowded during peak-​hours but they will do their best to get you seated as soon as possible. Outside patio is preferred during summer, and a great spot for ppl watching while enjoying a night out.
Menu isnt huge, but they have quite a few classic like beef tartar and moose sausage. Pricing is fair, quality is good and service staff will give you a great time in a casual manner.
Go here to start off your night, and f you are lucky enough, you will be greeted by the funny old owner who will do his best to enhance your evening further more.

This is a restaurant with an upscale atmosphere but more affordable prices than you’d think. The waiters have a strict dress code and overall the place feels a bit classy. The food and the service is excellent.
I wanted a Guinness which they sadly didn’t have, but I was recommended some other beer (which I don’t remember the name of) which was really good, so right away I gained respect for the waitress’ opinion on beer at least. A good start.
Then I had a Biff Rydberg (diced, fried tenderloin with diced fried potatoes, raw egg yolk on a bed of beer fried onions and a delicious mustard crème.) Every bit of meat was tender, juicy and pink in the middle — yet fried to have a zestful roasted surface. A good amount of salt too, which I appreciate. Perfect.
My friends had minute steak with horseradish, egg yolk and fries, and sirloin steak with café de Paris butter and fries — which were also good. I tried the fries which were quite ordinary.
For desert I had crème brûlée which was nothing fancy but good. The presentation could be improved a lot.
My friends had apple pie with vanilla sauce and the «Grodan’s Boll» (the name of the dish is a play on words referencing an old Swedish children’s book) which is a chocolate ball that you pour warm sauce over so that it melts. Quite spectacular.
The restaurant was closing but the staff didn’t rush us out the door. All in all a great restaurant experience.

Grodan is a great little bistro in the heart of Stockholm, with a great ambience, terrific menu (especially fish & shellfish!), comprehensive wine list (with multiple choices by-​the-​glass)), and great service. The food is delicious, whether traditional Swedish dishes (such as Ryggbiff) or more standard bistro fare (Char, Filet, etc). Every day provides a different special, all worth trying.
Grodan is a great experience, & well worth trying.

Lovely place, with great, great service. We had fiskgryta (fish chowder) and raggmunk (potato pancake with salted pork and lingonberries), thinking we’d like to try something Swedish, and buffalo mozzarella as an appetizer. The chowder was good and full of fish, mussels, etc. but salty to our taste. The pancake was very thin and crispy at the edges, and delicious with the lingonberries. The mozzarella met my calcium requirements in one fell swoop! (A lot of cheese.) Many locals there, arriving after 7 on a weekday. If we visit Stockholm again we will come here and try other things on their extensive menu.

I actually ate here solo on a business trip two months ago… But since I just signed up for Unilocal I had to go back and leave a review. I went on the recommendation of the hotel concierge where I was staying.
I had a traditional Swedish meal and the meat was amazing. The meal consisted of chunks of cooked beef in a wonderful sauce alongside some fried up potatoes. There were cooked onions on the side along with egg yolk. The whole meal was a great combination of flavors.
I booked reservations and stuck to the dress code mentioned in other reviews… Slacks and a jacket. However, there were folks there dressed quite casual. Food was served quickly. I actually shared a table with strangers as they seem to like to pack the place tight… And it was full of locals, not tourists.

They do the French bistro thing. Food is good, but overpriced. Same goes with drinks. But it should be expected since it is in the most affluent shopping district.

This place rocks! Well, not literally as it was full of the ‘older generation’ and me and has been decorated to look like an old French boudoir, but I am here for the food and boy did it deliver!
Reindeer steak preceded by a stupendous bread board and a wheat beer followed by a Dalwhinnie 15 year old single malt… wait, am I now part of the ‘older generation’…god damn it!
But maybe that just means I have started to appreciate the finer things in life?
In all seriousness though, this is really fine dining, but without the snobbishness. The waiting staff were welcoming and down right lovely.
If i was silver-​haired and lived in Stockholm, I’d make this my canteen and frivolously eat my way through my pension money. As neither apply to me at the moment, I’ll settle for making a b-​line for this place each time I visit the city.

Wer in Östermalm stillvoll und gut essen möchte, ist im Restaurant Grodan (zu deutsch Frosch) gut aufgehoben. Die Kombination von stilvollem, historischem Ambiente bei weißen Decken und goldenen Kerzenleuchtern mit einer anständigen Küche hat dieses Restaurant in der Grev Turegatan (auch als Stockholms inoffizieller Catwalk bekannt) nicht nur bei schwedischen Prominenten und Businessleuten beliebt gemacht. Für (noch) nicht bekannte (potentielle Stamm-​) Gäste empfiehlt sich eine Reservierung im Voraus. An Freitagen und Samstagen verwandelt sich der Frosch nach 23h in einen kleinen, exquisiten Club mitsamt Tanzfläche im Keller. Achtung, Gästeliste! Grodan wird mittags gerne für Geschäftsessen frequentiert. Das Steinpilz-​Risotto kostet aktuell SEK 165 /​EUR 17.

This is a great place if you really want to treat yourself to some authentic Swedish food.
Great atmosphere — the place has always been packed whenever I’ve been in. I went last year, and this year took a party of work colleagues who were all equally impressed (it also shows I add value to the team by knowing the best places to go in Stockholm!)
Last night I’d booked for 4 people, but as is the case, when the rest of the party turned up it was a 7! This was a bit of a problem, but the staff managed to squeeze us in on a table out the way. The rest of the party where also really late and it was well past 9:00pm when we finally ordered.
The menu is not too big, which always makes for great, fresh food. Decent selection of wines too. Service was pretty good, and in the main section of the restaurant the service is always brilliant.
Go for some herring while you’re here, it really is great (you can get the SOS — three types of herring as a starter).
Cost wasn’t too bad for stockholm — total bill for 7 was SK 4500 for 3 courses, lots of wine and coffee.
There’s a couple of other places you can go, but as this restaurant is just off the Stureplan, it’s less likely to get booked up.
