Everything impeccable - food, service, ambience! First went on a Saturday around 8pm and it was packed so the hostess asked if we wanted to wait 30 minutes but there's no place to wait in the restaurant so she recommended another day and to make a reservation. So we made a reservation and it was great! My party of 3 all loved their entree: Swedish meatballs (best in the city!); Arctic char; & cod. So skillfully prepared that it was as delicious as pleasing to the eye. All fish cooked just right and none of the entrees were overly salty. All entrees had a great variety of proteins & veggies and were just the right amount to fill us so we were disappointed we couldn't get the crème brûlée but we'll get it next time!

Best meal you will have! Got the 5 course meal and every single one of them was amazing! This is easily the best meal I've had since being in Europe. There isn't many restaurants where I'm from that offer course meals but I really wish they did after this dining experience. You won't be disappointed. It started with raw scallops then lamb tartare, arctic char, venison and finished with a chocolate dessert. Also tried the meatballs that a friend ordered and they were also really good

First time in Stockholm we wanted to experience Swedish food and Bistro Bestick did not disappoint. We tried the Swedish meatballs, the chanterelle toast, the rye bread and finished with the Parmesan crème brûlée. All were absolutely fantastic. Especially the rye bread and crème brûlée. The toast was small but bursting with different flavors. Everything about the meal was great, but the bread and the brûlée are not to be missed. We didn't have a reservation so we set at the bar. The service was still exceptional. One of the best experiences we've ever had. Make a reservation and go there.

We got seated at the small bar right away, and ordered the bread, meatballs, flank steak, and chocolate truffle dessert. The food was amazing! The only reason I took away a star is because of the long wait time between finishing our meal and being able to pay. We had run out of water but the waitress nor any other staff who frequently walked by the bar into the kitchen didn't notice that or the fact we were done.

This place was recommended by our hotel front desk as a go to local restaurant and it sure didn't disappoint! The place is hidden away from the main streets however it was packed but we managed to get a table for 2 and to have a quick dinner! As we walked to this place I already was doing my Yelp research and came in ready to order! So when in Sweden you have to try the Swedish Meatballs which is a no brainer. The food came out very quick, look very fresh and appetizing. The hand rolled meatballs came with potato purée, lingonberries, sliced pickled cucumbers and cream sauce. My only complaint here is that the food was a bit salty for me but tasted great overall. Also the staff is very friendly and helpful!

My partner and I had less than 24 hours to explore Stockholm and after much research, Bistro Bestick made it to the top of the list for dinner. We had just finished traveling in Italy and had a layover in Stockholm so we wanted to take advantage of all of its glory. We were super delighted and impressed with the meal that we had at BB. We had scallops, rye bread, meatballs, and a steak dish during our time there. We both loved everything that we had and even ordered a second plate of the rye bread! All of the flavors and textures were so new to us. Our palette was very excited to taste all of the diverse dishes that blended lovely together. Would I go back? Totally! I had never had Swedish food before and definitely want to keep exploring this amazing cuisine.

We came in early, so there weren't too many other diners. Service was friendly, but seemed short staffed. There were three people working front of house for indoor/outdoor dining and one of them seemed to be in training. At one point, I heard the service bell from the kitchen informing the wait staff an order was up. There was no one available to retrieve it though. After a while, I saw the chef/cook come out to hand the food to the waitress. Our appetizers and entrees came out within a reasonable time, but it took forever for the dessert to come out. At this time, the restaurant was quite busy. I think the waitress forgotten and I had to ask her about it when I was able to catch her eye. It also took a while to get our check and pay. Onto the food... We were given cute little loaves of rye bread with soft butter. As an appetizer, we went with tuna tartare. It was refreshing with the watermelon and cucumber. As an entree, I ordered the "raw beef on beef thigh"- basically beef tartare. It came in a separate bowl from the rest of my entree. The rest of it consisted of tomatoes two ways. The first being two slices of tomatoes and the second being a tomato stuffed with avocado. I didn't feel as if it was a cohesive dish. The elderberry sorbet for dessert was the highlight of my meal. It also came with sponge cake, strawberry panna cotta, fresh berries, and candied olives. Overall, I had an enjoyable dinner.

On a day trip from Norway to Sweden we had 8 hours to do the most and we were going to make the best of our time. This is an example where the Yelp reviews come in handy especially around the world. Sidebar we (Yelp) need to do a better job by adding more countries as this may prove helpful to those who are traveling. It is essential to have good information when you are spending money. The express train from the airport to Stockholm leaves you within two blocks walking distance and in the direction of all the necessary tourist stops. We made sure to book a reservation the day before for lunch. The restaurant offers daily lunch menus that are affordable with an ample portion. In addition to each of our lunch entrées we ordered the Swedish meatballs they were divine. Each meal was beautifully plated, flavorful and the only restaurant during this trip that served hot food. I don't know if it's a thing but generally in Europe we receive warm food not hot. We received a really good salad and bread that was unexpected to start the meal. Beside the food being really good it is clear that the owners and Chef are proud of their work. We had really good customer service from what appeared to have been the owner or manager. He wanted to ensure we were satisfied with our meal his face beaming with pride. My dining partner had the seared/fried salmon which she was extremely pleased with as it was cooked to perfection in her words. I enjoyed my prime rib meal it was slightly salty but I'm sure not for most people. I really do not like the taste of salt. The decor was modern but modest, very nicely laid out giving a sense of comfort. If you see this review although I may not return as a visit to Sweden is highly unlikely but I suggest you make your reservation now!
