Photo: Nytorget 6We were seated at a window table, and found ourselves considering the well-curated menu, which features an array of small servings, both hot and cold appetizers, main courses, rotisserie options, and desserts. Ultimately, we selected the creamy pasta bucatini with confit rabbit, tart artichoke, broccoli, and baked tomatoes, as well as the omelette with smoked salmon, spinach, goat cheese, and french fries. While awaiting our main courses, we sampled the hot-smoked reindeer heart with lingonberries and horseradish and the fried feta cheese with lemon and mint yogurt from the “Small Servings” menu. These arrived promptly, presented on small plates. While the hot-smoked reindeer heart possessed an intriguing name, its flavor profile was perceived as less remarkable than anticipated.

The waitstaff’s attire, consisting of light blue dresses, departs from the more traditional black and white uniforms, contributing to the restaurant’s distinctive and independent character.

The portion sizes are generous, the dishes are expertly prepared, and the meals are satisfying. The flavors of the salmon and omelette were harmonious, although not particularly innovative. The dish delivered on its promise, without exceeding expectations. In contrast, the confit rabbit was exceptional, enhanced by the recommended wine pairing.
