Pickwick’s

If you want to try real Swedish food this is the place to eat. I had the Swedish beer which was good and the plate of a sample of local food. The prices are very good and it’s a fun type of restaurant to have a good lunch or dinner with friends. It does get very busy at lunch time so just sit back and have another beer.

Pickwick’s seems to me to have all the appearance of being an Irish Bar or British Pub, but that just might be that I really can’t think of anything, any particular color, décor, or appearance that would mentally define a Swedish bar. However, once you’re inside, everything about it, particularly their menu is definitively Swedish.
For lunch I ordered a beer, a plate of Swedish meatballs and their Janssons frestelse, known in English as Janssons temptation.
The Swedish meatballs came in a handsome presentation, smothered with a cream sauce along with sides of potato and lingonberry. The meatballs themselves seemed a little larger in size that what I am use to but from the flavor and texture would guess that they were comprised of the traditional meat combinations of ¹⁄₃ pork, ¹⁄₃ veal and ¹⁄₃ beef. Overall a rather good very hearty dish.
As for the Janssons frestelse, such is a traditional Swedish, comprised of potatoes, onions, pickled sprats, bread crumbs and cream. I know that some recipes state anchovies but that tends to be an error in interpretation stemming from the fact that pickled sprats are known as «anjovis» in Swedish. I might also add that Swedish anchovies tend to be very different than the typical anchovy found in the United States, in that they are much mellower, much less salty and not nearly as dark in color.
Anyway, the frestelse turned out to be the real genuine thing, very much similar in taste to the frestelse my great grandmother made for me.
Pickwick’s offers a very nice casual café/​bar type of atmosphere that is almost classic in style. The eating areas inside are nice with the outside patio areas well covered. The service was also on spot and I walked pleased with my meal and the time I spent there.

Terrible service but good food. We are here twice during our time in Stockholm. Both times we had terrible service. Sat outside both times. Would remember to never go back during our next trip to Stockholm.
Side note there fries are amazing!

Simple, bit overpriced place. Exchange rates to Euro are on the rip off edge (7 to 1, wether 10 is much closer). Atmosphere is of a pub. People coming for only a drink are packed in a corner with only bar service.

Great British/​Irish style pub with outdoor seating. Great selection of beers, liquor, snacks, and more hearty fare. Sweet servers who are used to non-​Scandinavian speakers.
I tried the delicious fisksoppa which had a lovely flavor with saffron, curry, cream and was full of huge pieces of firm fish and vegies. Loved the place.
